Dec 15, 2011: In Latin "novem" means nine. Initially this month was the ninth month in the Roman calendar. After January and February were added to the calendar it became the eleventh month but retained its name as November. This month is special for men since International Men's Day is celebrated on 19th November. The flower of this month is chrysanthemum.

Today we present our best posts from

Nov 24, 2011: We wish our fantastic audience a very Happy Thanksgiving! This is a fun filled time which gives us a rare opportunity to get together with our families and have gala dinners. At this time of the year we catch up with our extended families and share our lives' events. Indeed it's a blessed time on Earth :).

Festivities aside this is a great time to practice gratitude and thank Lord

Nov 11, 2011: We wish you a Happy Veterans Day :). It's a state and federal holiday across US. But those of us who are employees of corporate America need to go to work :(.

Veteran's day has an inspiring history. In November 1919, President Wilson proclaimed November 11 as the first commemoration of Armistice Day with the following words:
To us in America, the reflections of Armistice Day will

GoodDayNov 08, 2011: These days one of the new buzz words in investment circles is carbon trading or carbon investments. Large investment banks like Goldman Sachs, Barclays Capital, JP Morgan and Morgan Stanley have already invested in carbon trading by creating carbon trading departments in their companies.

Since this is a relatively new investing field, we need some basic understanding of the

Nov 05, 2011: It is not yet time to reset our household clocks and watches to get that extra hour on Sunday morning. We will get an extra hour of Sunday morning sleep on Nov 6, because of the time change that rolls our clocks back an hour every fall.

This move back to Standard Time from Daylight Saving Time, or DST takes effect at 2 a.m. the first Sunday in November, rather than the last Sunday

Oct 31,2011: We wish you a Happy Halloween. Hope you have a wonderful time at tonight's Halloween party dressed in fabulous yet scary costumes. Last night we filled our orange colored pumpkin bucket with colorful candies. Kids got a love them :).

We know that pumpkin carvers are going to have a ball of a time today. There's a best pumpkin carver competition going on at our work place.

Oct 25, 2011: September is one of four Gregorian months with 30 days. In Latin, septem means "seven" and septimus means "seventh". In fact, September was the seventh month of the Roman calendar until 153 BC, when there was a calendar reform. In the Eastern Orthodox Church, September marks the beginning of the ecclesiastical year. The flower of this month is the aster or morning glory.

Moving on,

Oct 10, 2011: Wish you all a Happy Columbus Day. We Americans celebrate this day to mark the anniversary of Christopher Columbus's arrival in the Americas, on October 21, 1492. Wow! It's over five hundred years since that discovery :). Thanks to Columbus else Americas would have remained utterly unknown to the world.

History Behind This Day
The first Columbus Day celebration was held in 1792,

Sep 28, 2011: Today we present our best posts from August. Before that a little about August's majestic history :). As per the Gregorian Calendar, August is the eighth month of the year. It was originally named Sextilis in Latin, because it was the sixth month in the ancient Roman calendar, which started in March about 750 BC under Romulus.

When King Numa Pompilius added January and February to

Sep 05, 2011: We wish you a wonderful Labor Day. Hope that your long weekend went well :). Ours was spent in de-cluttering our household. This year our focus has been to reduce consumption, so we refrained from buying stuff through "Labor Day Sale" promotions. It feels great to get rid of stuff!


Coming back to Labor Day and its history, here is a short quote:
Traditionally, Labor Day is

Aug 25, 2011: July was renamed for Julius Caesar, since he was born in this month. Earlier, it was called Quintilis in Latin, since it was the fifth month in the ancient Roman calendar, before January became the first month of the calendar year. However in the Gregorian Calendar July is the seventh month of the year.

We like July since on an average, it is the warmest month in most of Northern

Jul 04, 2011: We wish you all a happy independence day. 235 years have gone by since July 3rd, 1776 when we adopted the Declaration of Independence and broke the shackles from the Kingdom of Great Britain. This is a special day since it commemorates the birth of a great free nation "The United States of America."

Independence is dear to most of us. This site was started to maintain a log of our

Jun 21, 2011: We wish you a wonderful summer ahead. Officially summer begins today and ends on September 22nd. Summer has sweet memories for most of us. As school children, summer was a time we looked forward to. We all know the best part, "no school!" Summer vacations involved travel to distant new places. We loved to travel though it was hot. It was a fantastic way to see new things and be

Jun 19, 2011: Our heartiest best wishes to all fathers on this special day. We are indebted to our dads* for taking such good care of us. At an early age they laid the foundation of a strong character by leading from the front with integrity. That played a major role in shaping our character and personality based on solid values and principles.

We learnt about wise money management and frugality
