Hello, new year new you.

I was having a hearty breakfast, to my mother's great delight, when this pun softly knocked at my brain, in a slightly different garb and appearance. I chuckled but kept eating. However, it kept knocking, incessantly, to the point that I had to stand up in the middle of the breakfast, walk over to my desk, open my notebook and use my non-dominant hand to write it down, but it didn't seem happy with my effort, so I wiped my fingers with a tissue and wrote it down with my dominant hand in a relatively neat handwriting and when it was pleased with my effort and attention, and I was sure that I won't forget it, I went back to finish my breakfast but still chuckled every now and then while eating when I thought of it.

Later, I sat down with my notebook opened, in front of me, at that page, and stared at it for a while and then slowly and gradually, after a few rewrites, it became what you see now.

I hope that you and I have an exceedingly remarkable year. Happy New Year!
