Yeah.. and I'm more than happy that I didn't worry myself too much, even I was told to come home via the most hectic bus routes. Simply, I managed to catch the bus :) and that "Langama" bus was awesome which made me to tweet couple of times, with the hashtag #langamarox.  As soon as I got home, I had this article to put up about the SSC Open Badminton C'ships. As usual, I opened my word doc, parallely signing into my gmail and FB. Saw a link on one of my friend's wall, with no thumbnail, but something triggered me to click on that. I was redirected to a Facebook video, one of those uploaded by an artist based in the Middle East.
