Good news - my phone has been repaired. Thanks to my colleague - Jack Keil, he was able to remove the headphone jack that was stuck in the socket. Had to reassemble the phone - but no problems on that.

Anyways...wishing everyone a very bright and beautiful new year. Happy Gudi Padwa / Ugadi!

Heres wishing everyone a very happy Holi!

"Holi" day in the US for the past 3 years -
