2007 the year that is and soon would be history had some interesting moments which I tracked as it passed. The year on personal front was something different with me taking certain decisions which I would have never thought of, personal highs of being on a tv show and end up at the finals....anyways. The blog is more to capture in general what I feel were some really good moments of the 364 days as of today were and some of those which you would like to forget. Add/Edit some of those if you wish to..
