New Year Resolutions and Social Media

One of my New Year Resolutions for 2011 was to start another blog.

Since I tend to tweet and blog excessively about social media, I decided to write a separate blog about my social media rants. So here it is. If you're interested in my social media rants, subscribe here.

Here's the first cartoon of the New Year, which I created to feature in the first post at my new blog:

Another one of my resolutions is to blog more frequently. So, you should be seeing more cartoons here, providing I can keep up with my resolution!

Have a Happy and Successful 2011.

Everyone loves birthdays

Except the fact that they are a reminder of another year gone by...



Nevertheless, it's been a happy one!

2010 is here

And hope it brings with it a lot of happiness for everyone...

Happy Lohri!

The festival of Lohri is celebrated with great pomp in India on the 13th day of January. It's an auspicious day that marks the end of the winter season and the advent of the sun (which symbolizes knowledge, wisdom and prosperity.) Celebrations include bonfire gatherings in the night, popping of popcorn and puffed rice, traditional dinner, prayers, feasting on sweets made of jaggery, peanuts and sesame seeds, dancing and singing of traditional folk songs. The first Lohri of a newly married couple or newborn baby are particularly important. In India, Lohri is more than just a festival, it's a way of life! In the days leading up to Lohri, children visit homes of neighbours, sing traditional Lohri songs, and ask for coins and sweets in return.

'Tamaso Ma Jyotir Gamaya'. May you always go towards the Light and never towards darkness.

Here's how our Lohri bonfire looked like...

Happy New Year!
