sometime back i lost my earlier gmail account, as a result of which my original blogs also got lost in this world wide web. after trying in vain to get my blogs linked back to my new gmail account etc etc, i gave up. the links to those old blogs still work but i cannot use/work on them anymore. which is ok for now, but i think years down the line, i may suffer from loss of memory while trying to remember the dead blog names. so i've decided to paste any old entries which i would still like under 'one-roof' in this new blog.
