Ghumakkar's Diary

What about receiving a Picture Postcard from Thailand? Follow me at twitter.com/PunitDubey and reply my tweet on the same (little search you have to do ;) Bad, just got one reply and yet to confirm if she received the card or not! But, let me tell you Thailand did offer me a variety of fascinating Picture Postcards and rejuvenated my love for those.
