Happy New Year

Here's wishing everyone a very Happy New Year. Hope the new year brings loads of success & happiness to you and your family. Have a healthy and wonderful 2012 !!!

In the spirit of holidays, here's the definition of "Merry" courtesy Seth Godin:

———————————

You can't be merry by yourself.

Sure, you can be content, happy, possibly even delirious. But merriment requires a group, and that group is almost always a group you can see and touch, one that's sharing the same molecules of air, face to face.

The digital revolution continues to get deeper, wider and more important. But it has made no progress at all at increasing merriment. That's up to us!

———————————

Cheers!
