Four years ago I started this blogs with lots of ideas and dreams in my eyes (sounds like a nice speech beginning). It was cool to be blogging at that time (it still is), lots of people I knew were doing it so I jumped into the bandwagon. After a few heartfelt posts about B School and childhood where a lot of friends commented I kind of ran out of ideas to blog about. So I thought of blogging about social issues and be some sort of an activist. I always (secretly) wanted to be one, however apart from 2-3 social issues where I had a balanced view I had some sort of an extremist view about most and my posts would have been confined to abusing the idiots who caused the screw ups. Then I thought about blogging about movies and writing reviews, but once again I got bored of writing about and analysing movies. Finally I thought about writing stories, once again inspired by many bloggers who later turned writers, I thought maybe one day I could also...but I think that dream also needs to remain in cold storage for some time, mainly because hardly anyone reads my stories and also because I hardly have the time to update frequently.
So once again we are back to being random on the blog, an occasional life update and a story once in a while it will be for the time being. Once again thanks to the three and a half readers who faithfully checked week after week for an update and kept on asking me to write more.
On the life update side a lot has changed after the marriage, social responsibilities (read family) have increased (and so has socializing). Work is fun (as of now), I finally got the promotion so we have some much needed extra cash. Friends getting married real fast, one of the sons (in the fictional family) got married a few days ago, the other one is getting hitched in July, the Chosen One jumps in in Dec along with the first lady to join the family.
On the general interest front, June-July is the best possible time for a sports enthusiast. The Football world cup, Wimbledon and the Tour De France (ok..I know a lot of people don't follow cycling beyond Lance Armstrong, but I love the sport), yeah there is a cricket thing (Asia Cup me thinks) in between but without God I don't think I will be watching much of it.
Till then folks...
PS: A couple of people told me (yes 2 is a very small number, but I respect their opinion a lot) that metropolis is a good idea and if it is refined properly the stories could be fun...so am seriously thinking about it. And No, this is not with dreams of being the next big thing in Indian writing, its just for fun.
