Countdown-Clocks

The first love is the sweetest, but that first cut is the deepest. Bananaz has gone through the rough patch of blogging when BananazPeople emerged into cyberspace on Nov 03 2009. Glad to mention Bananaz survived the one year of blood sweat and tears with sincere thanks and gratitude to all fellow bloggers and readers for saving its skin. Shall be looking forward for another year of excitement and sharing, digging and learning together. Its time to bid farewell 2010 and hello 2011 and wish to call upon all fellow bloggers and readers to join in the countdown for a better two jilo one one. Weeweechu all the best of the best.
