They say back home that if you do something on the first day of the year, you will continue to do it throughout the year. There are many people who believe this, including teachers who have classes early in the morning of the 1st of January so that their students continue to study throughout the year. Thankfully, I didn't have any teachers who believed in it strongly enough to have classes because I was sure that I would not attend that class. I always wondered though whether I would be skipping classes more than usual during the year as a result of missing the first class of the year.
Being a devout multilateralist and an ardent believer in organizations like the UN, NATO and WTO, my hope is that these organizations would see better days than they did last year so that all of us can see our hopes for a more peaceful year come alive. To that effect, I hope the new Secretary General of the UN is hard at work pulling diplomatic strings today so that he continues to do so throughout the year.
As for me, who knows, I might end up blogging more often this year. After all, I am doing it on the first day of the year.

Keep posting, great work! Btw, what's your view on the Saddam execution?
you are an ardent believer in the united nations, great! what do you feel or what is your view on un expats who live nd work in countries like sri lanka. i know they get paid very well to work in war torn countries. i also know that life for them in cities like colombo are wonderful. top of the line suv's, bungalows to live in, driver, servents, gardner, plus some fantastic international schools and a social life that they never ever could afford to have in their countries of residence. so should the united nations attempt to recruit people from these countries and cut down on expats?
