Hi It's July 3rd today. My day was spent in gruh pravesh (housewarming) ceremony conducted at a friend's place. I came home in the evening and went for a nap. I couldn't sleep though. Why?

Now, crazy people did what crazy people do. (Now, don't ask details please!!!) They also attracted attention from everybody.
