What can stymie my effort to appear in TIME magazine? Apparently, it seems nothing. To those skepticals, who argued my audacious claim of appearing at least once, this is for you!! Kidding guys..hehe..However, somebody reading this knows what I am talking about.

Guys, I have just won a 100$ bet. Calling for toast!

I really hate being one of those bloggers who leave my swarming bees with a piece of useless article. My motto has recently been changed to: ‘Did I benefit someone?’…hehe..serious..Everyday, whatever I do, I ask myself, if it benefited anyone..If it dint, then my whole day has fell into pandemonium. So  Just want to make sure, I have made at least a small contribution here, right now. So here goes some interesting facts about TIME magazine, which sure is quite enthralling
