A ring on my finger!

Love... A feeling that grips your senses when you see that special someone...

To me, love was always something that would converge into a wedding. Nope, not a wedding, a marriage. What's the difference, one may ask. For someone who's watched the episode of F.R.I.E.N.D.S where Monica and Chandler argue about whether to have a grand wedding ceremony as per Monica's wish or to bring Chandler's dreams of a beautiful marriage to life, the difference is not hard to figure.

Many of the dreams I wove, about a loved one making my life complete, have finally come into life. The jigsaw puzzle of my life is finally complete.

I'm getting engaged to my bestfriend next month! I couldn't be happier. I feel like all the angels up above have blessed my family and me with all the joys we could possibly have. Fingers crossed. Touch wood.

Pictures and a wide variety of editing options...

Google comes up with such wonderful ideas. For someone who started of with just a web search, they seem to be floating amazingly ahead. Try out the options on Picasa2(http://www.picasa2.com/) for example. In combination with the picture editing that's supported on Vista, even a bad photographer's picture can be turned into a beautiful wallpaper! I specially liked the 'Collage' option on Picasa2.


Another must-try software is Scrapbook Flair from Aurora Digital Imaging(http://www.scrapbookflair.com/Download.aspx). The downloadable version comes with quite a large number of templates, background and embellishments. With a wee bit of design idea help from Scrapbook and the rest from your imagination, the outputs can be as simple or as bold as you want.

Here's one I made with a picture of my team at work. Totally loved the simplicity.
