The East Meets South: Finding A Virtual Brother in India

Shaiya with cough, under the blanket

My apologies for being absent for quite someday. I left my blog with nothing to feed my readers, " Please give me the live in a temporary illusion I do have readers " In any case, when the body is weak, I guess the mind becomes weak, too. My heart was weak and it affected my body and soon affected the brain function. In other words, I was sick. 

This is not an excuse, but I wanted to rest and staying away from my laptop is one of the best things to do, but that does not include my love for sweets. I enjoy eating sweets even if I am sick...

My partner in crime, in happiness, and in sadness: Laptop and Chocolates

Enough for the excuses and the commercials.I believe I have slightly recovered because I have a new entry for this blog. This is a special one because this is an article created by my adopted brother in India, Smitesh. He celebrated his birthday last August 18, and we were not able to celebrate it together because I am away...
