Dear friends, I had been working as a mechanical design & project engineer and retiring from service today after attaining the age of 60 years. I am posting the image of a Spotted Dove to wish you all A Very Happy and Successful New Year 2012.

A big thanks to all of you for your wonderful & encouraging wishes.
I will take rest for 3 months and do a bit of photography with my son Riju (a forum participant here).
I would get down to a new job after that may be. Its possible here.

MY FAMILY AND I WISH ALL OF YOU A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR 2012.
