Basking..

..in my new found glory.

I knew this would come one day.

I thank God, my parents, Tim-BernersLee, my English teachers at school, Pyra Labs , my friends and foes at Literary Association at school and Literary Council at college and, my neighbour's tiny-tots for not howling the night away and ensuring that I was not stirred away from accomplishing this. It is still hard to believe that it has come by so easily but let me take this opportunity to tell you that there has been a lot of hard work and perspiration behind this.





Last but not the least, I thank TIME.
