As the year of the Ox approaches, I wish all readers, fellow bloggers and human existences a very Happy New Year 2009.

I hope 2009 is a better year for the world. I hope the global economy starts recovering from the ongoing recession.  I hope there is lasting peace and harmony between neighbors.  I hope terrorists realize that violence does not solve any problems. I hope that we stop putting more and more burden on our planet and reduce pollution.

I hope for peace, tranquility, prosperity and good luck for all the occupants of planet earth.

Happy New Year 2009!!
