What a surprise I had today. As most of my friends are aware, I have a 14 page website with nothing much than a few articles and poems from me which are like more than 6 years old.

But I got this surprise when I found that one of my page links is printed in an American book meant for junior and high school students.

The book "Skills for Rhetoric, Student Edition" written by an author James P. Stobaugh had taken reference from my article on the Gettysburg address and the link from my website was mentioned in that page.

It cant get any better!!

1. An American author writing a book on


2. Nurturing effective writing and speaking skills in students


3. Mentions about the famous Gettysburg Address of Abraham Lincoln


4. Taking the reference from the website hosted by an Indian.

It was a pleasnat surprise indeed and this one bit of news has changed my whole day and my outlook on the strength of the Internet.

After 4 years or more of hibernation, I finally caught up with my Blog site. The user name was elusive but with much difficulties I am back on the Blog. From Oman with love..
The reason for this comeback is mainly to due to one Blogger who has instilled the blogging interest once again in me and that is Muscati. He is unknown to me very much the way I am to him. Thank you Muscati, if ever you happen to pass by this blog.

Otherwise, things are going fine with me. 5 years have passed by with me in Muscat.Got married. My car loan in getting over and my hairs have started to Grey. Not that the loan had anything to do with the greying, but I am sure it is a physical indication that I need to pause for sometime and re think about life and where I am heading too. By the way come November, my family would increase by one more member and I am eagerly looking forward for that day...
