"Birthdays are unpleasant reminders of advancing age" – goes a snippet from Nehru's autobiography. Not quite unpleasant for a blog, isn't it? Definitely not & the same goes for its author. It's been quite an experience –writing some crap which comes to my mind & getting totally unknown people to comment on it, or rather expecting people to comment on it. I started off exactly a year back hoping to reflect on 52 posts (that's once a week) & 52000 comments a year later. I fell 18 short of the former & about the latter – Mathematics never lies. It's been that insatiable desire for comments, to know what others think about you & your thoughts that made me start blogging. And BOY!! How reluctant is she to embrace you, or even caress you. I still remember the 1st comment on this blog. It was none other than me myself commenting "cool mate...." as Anonymous. Orkut & the blogging communities were a relief. If it was only about the numbers in the comments column- it served the purpose. Tom, Dick & Harry would comment – "Wonderful blog" while God always sent an angel to comment on how the blog sucks to put my feet back on the ground. Slowly the author realized nobody fucking cares for your personal life or your personal thoughts. You are not Paulho Coelho or Aamir Khan not even a Small B. Meanwhile made a handful (almost) of friends. Probably that's been the best thing about this. Matured a bit as well – the blog is no longer hungry for comments. The blog which was given birth out of boredom has in itself become a source of boredom these days. What an irony! But still the birthday has to be celebrated. What better way than to start posting all over again.
Welcome

Hey man,
great to see you back in action.
Looking at the regularity in your irregularity of posting, I'm sure we've been competing with each other for the infrequency in posting over the past few months which I've won easily!
Once I did feel like reading and writing and found ur blog locked!!!
anyways, you integrated humour and reality in an understandable way, which is your strength..
hope to read more..
