Never let the smile missing on your face. 
Hi,
That was brilliant, I loved it , couldn’t help but smile at your comments on each article, a very entertaining post.
My favourites were the Bear, The fry pan, and the tooth.
Hi Mags,
Yes, I tried to do something different yet entertaining this time. The biggest thing is that, I wanted to keep it real. I am glad you liked it.
Wonderful idea!! Very Interesting
Thanks a lot Aanchal. I am not getting the link to your blog. You quit blogging or what! If not than, can you give me link to your blog.
The comments were more interesting than the news.
Fun read.
Ha!
Thanks a lot Imelda. 
Nice to see you here.
I loved it ( so cliched coz I love all your post everytime lol)…. I may not be a dentist but I am sure I can still take out all the teeth out of anyone’s mouth… haha
loved all your comments. Made me giggle.
Can’t wait for next monday
Do not worry Aisha! I would never be tired of listening that you love my posts.
What! You can take out all the teeth out of anyone’s mouth! Do not be so harsh with some one!
Thanks a lot as always for the visit and leaving a smile on my face. It’s a pleasure to see you here & read your comments.
Arindam what a list..I think people of egypt were feeling bored and fed up of their dull life,,so to spice it up…seriously….this world is a mad house
Thanks a lot Soma ji. Yes this world is a Mad house for sure. And I doubt it will ever change.
Thank you for the laugh, Arindam…great way to start the week.
Fat people…touchy subject. Acceptance is incredibly powerful. If I’m loved and accepted, I WANT to keep my weight down because I love and accept myself as well as my partner.
However, my friend, I’m not very accepting if I am seated beside a very fat person on an airplane. Especially with seats becoming smaller and smaller.
Ha ha!
I am glad to hear that I could make you laugh. I hope it was laud. 
Yes it was a touchy subject for sure. I am bit thin, so I know how does it feels when a person with a six pack body gives me advice & tips. 
It feels great to see you again in my blog after a long time Amy aunty. I was missing your feedback on my previous posts. Have you seen that PDF of that book?
That is high on my list, Arindam. No, for sure I have not forgotten! Look forward to it.
Do let me know; if you like it or not!
Fun way to start the week. Though — what is this spam king contest?
Melissa, The volume of email spam that originated from India exceeded the volume coming from the US, that’s why India is now the new spam king. It was bound to happen, as IT knowledge is spreading like virus in this part of world among the youth.
Nice line on the Naxals.
Thanks a lot.
Gud idea Arindam . . . poor Mondays, always receives the most complaints and whines out of all the other days. You fixed it so now we look forward to Mondays!
Ha Ha !
Absolutely true Sunshine. The worst thing about Mondays are we have to wake up early from bed; which I hate the most in this world. 
I hope & wish I can spread laugh on every Monday and live up to your expectations.
I hear ya about the morning after the weekend…not delightful whatsoever.
sooo, on to fun times! 
If you are having fun with your posts, I think pretty much we will be having fun too. That’s how I see things these days anyway.
Yaa I am having lots of fun while delivering these post and I am sure I will continue with that.
Funny, Arindam. I doubt we could get into North Korea to watch the parade, hence viewing from outer space. Keep that in mind next time you are with your girl! lol
Yes I have to keep it in my mind, the next time I will be with my girl.
LOL
That’s why I do not like the concept of satellite. No privacy for famous people like us!
great headlines
i particularly liked the one about frying pan… I will make sure I save my frying pan, in case….:D
Thank you Amira.
Nice to see you back.
Hi Arindam,
Hope you are doing good.
I am busy these days with some personal projects apart from running daily errands. Hope to have some time in next two months to get back regularly to blogging world. I will try to post some thing in between. Thanks in indeed for your consideration.
keep it up!!
Anchal
That’s why I was thinking why your link in your Gravatar is taking to your old blog, which you last updated on 2006.
Best wishes for your future projects. Take care.
