I had saved four posts, till August for automatic (scheduled) blog posts; but due to some error the first post scheduled on July 7th wasn't published. I was away for 10 days and noticed the error today.  I also would like to share the news of the birth of my daughter. She arrived on July 7th. I will be undertaking only selected assignment in the coming months, till I get adjusted to my new role of motherhood. As for blog posts, I would try to concentrate mostly on published clips to keep this blog lively.
