Over time I find that I spend more time reading blogs than writing. (Thanks to Google Reader)

This coupled with a hectic work life - ya for once work is looking up and everyday morning I am waking up looking forward to the new day....quite a change - I hardly find time to update this blog.

So, I have thought instead of letting this blog die a natural death, I will update this with trivia. My first love.

Here is the promise, atleast once a week, I will upload 5 trivia questions. Answers can be left in the comments. And the correct answers will be uploaded next day. Lets see if this lasts.
