Hussain is finally in. It took me 3 invitations to get him onto this blog but I think it is worth the effort. This new blood will infuse vigour into the blog.
Thanx Moiz I'm in. Hope to make a lot of posts.  
Concentrate.    I simply can't concentrate right now. Have lot to cover and time is just flying away. Bad day for some amongst us here.
