Apr 24, 2009: The past few weeks went by at a crazy pace. We had several personal as well as professional projects competing for our time, space and energies. Consequently we could not do the weekly roundups though we did get a chance to glance through the stellar articles presented at the carnivals.
Thankfully we got a breather this weekend and can afford to take life at a leisurely pace. Here are some fine articles that caught our attention at the carnivals and festivals:
