Sunday so far hasn’t been a very enjoyable Sunday

As a result I was rather groggy early morning as I rushed for the 8.30am mass.
George Burns once said:
The secret of a good sermon is to have a good beginning and [...]

Well, the story of my life lately has been pretty much the same with minor deviations here and there.
Began the start of the week by collecting the forms. Thankfully, this time I got them!!

Today, I guess temperatures of all the people in the [...]

Have you always wanted your name engraved in a snow capped mountain?
I just got mine done and so can you

We set out yesterday yet again to buy the XAT Forms. This is my third trip and this time we decided to not bother going to the Dadar SBI, because we found the one at Mahim.
Got stuck in horrible traffic on the way there. And if the traffic wasn’t bad enough, the heat was killing. [...]

A few days back Text Link Ads released their Blog Juice Calculator.
