has added a new journalSince the Need is the Mother of all invention, and inspirations play alot of role in it, i thought about making this Village Entry where Villagers might share their favourite Link, Define what it is and maybe even THINK and discuss it if they want. Its like sharing Knowledge for the Ease of Comfort(homework we are stuck on maybe or the IDEA we might be Stuck on like idea of sense of humour etc) of the many :)
