A very happy new year to you all !! The new year starts ... and another year rolls by.

What will this year have in store ? Lets do some trivia...

• The year of the bond. Many people link 007 to James Bond. I got a lot of sms's about it.
• This year is the year of the pig according to the Chinese Calendar.
• It is the International Polar Year. Actually the year continues till 2009...
  
• It is the International Heliophysical Year .. did not have enough time to read what it was.
  
• It ads to 9. This is nothing great, but causes a great deal of excitement in Hyderabad as the no 9 is supposed to be lucky here. People pay extra bucks to get number plates for their vehicles which add to 9, or has 9 in it.
  

Whatever the year is, have a blast.
