So over the last few days you dissect the database into three; for cards, chocolates and calendars, and you wonder, how many are still there, how many survived, so quick shifting and merciless this industry is. And you look at the subprime tally, 10.8 billion at one prestigious firm alone, TEN POINT EIGHT billion and how much is that in rupees or God forbid, the lira or the Turkish currency before they knocked off the swimming zeros? And you wonder what the suits were up to, why no questions were asked, the Emperor has no clothes but are you blind, and someone forced to move, homeless in this mad weather, and like dominoes stacked to collapse, where what next.

Tis the season, but much too much.

sorry but I'm seeing double. am good.

Lazy now, like a balloon leaking air slowly shrumpeling (invented the last word but it fits) to a vegetable state, time to recover.
Hope you can take a break now. I saw somewhere pictures of Mumbai in christmas-decor, crazy!

Mago the break is in micro-slices of everyday. :) We have one day off- and I had forgotten.
