A Leap

..once in four years and that day becomes a special day, in a special month.

12 X 2 = 24. That’s how the equation goes this time. It was 12/2 all this while and suddenly the / became a X this year and the writer turned 24 years old and yeah, the two great people turned 199 :)

And what was it like this year? Yes, every year its special. Every year its in a new place with new people, at least since the past 3 years and the saga continued this time too, with me back in the BigApple and the city welcoming the day with snow, much to my delight.

I know its been really long since a post came out on the blog. Well, this post is not going to be all about me, so lets get back.

If you pass the Times Square everyday on your way to office, you are bound to see a lot of interesting things happening. This one day I witnessed a big group of people with a flag in their hand, cheering a parade. I took a couple of snaps not knowing what it was and when I checked to see what it was, I got to know that it was about a country becoming independent. Well, that’s how I got to witness a historical event :) and in February.

And the month also marked my second trip to the Lady Liberty.

February, definitely, is an interesting month. It has fewer days than all other months and once in four year it gets this special treatment. In this fast-paced life, everybody wants an extra minute, an extra hour, an extra day in life and so, for all these people, February gives this extra day every four years to people who always felt.. "if only I had an extra day in life, I would ... blog" (yeah, that’s me) but honestly, it could be THE extra day that people need to do what they wanted if only they had one more day. Wouldn't it be easier if this day was declared a holiday? What would you do with that extra day?

And the month brought me back my reading habits somehow. I figured I would make a log the books I read, on my blog and I would have a count of the books I read and can use it to check and make sure I don’t read the same book twice ;)

So, here's a good one-liner from the book "The Kiterunner" by Khaled Hosseini.
"Zendagi migzara" translating to "Life goes on...".

February or March, birthday or not.. "Life goes on...." Very true.
