as the word verification says for me on one site, "EAT IO". should be worth a trip to saturn if I get to be a Lunaphage. or to be perfectly correct, an io-phage. |

what stops me from writing?
mainly, i believe I've run out of inspiration. Also, I've fallen prey to that most common pitfall of most writers , stagnation.
As most of you probably have thought of me, but were too nice to say , I ramble and metaphorize and obfuscate way too much.
call it a defense mechanism against a permanency, that is the Internet. I dont want anything I write to come back and bite ANYONE in the bee hind , not now, not when either of us are grandparents.
(am I metablogging now?)
While its important for me to write, a small part of me wants to be read too. In-print writers know that when they get paid. Bloggers know that when folks comment. (Hats off to M and AG, my faithful commenters)
The truth is, I've ceased to interest people with what I write. So there's no interest in coming back to read what I wrote. That, and people are just too busy with twitter to read LJ any more. |

After years, I got a much-needed three days off for Durga Puja. Was able to spend it with my new family.
I pray that me and my family and friends everywhere are healthy, happy, strong and guarded and guided from this moment on.
may God bless you. |

What spells apocalypse right now is , the triad stalking this city now.
H1N1,the name that makes me look suspiciously at every sneezer and cougher.
Recession,the reason why i cant get out of office to avoid sneezers and coughers.
Watershortage: why we cant wash our hands often.
The end times,one almost wonders, are nigh |

| mostly flu. |
[Aug. 12th, 2009|11:38 am] |
if i die, what will you remember about me ? (leave comments)
***
looking at the current outbreak of Swine Flu, made me think that Stephen King got it right with his "Captain Trips". Might not the cause for this outbreak be something out of that novel (after all one prominent assassination *was* carried out from a novel)
***
If I havent got the Flu of 09, going to the "centers" to get checked might cause me to be infected.
If I have got infected, I wont know unless someone tells me or I die.
***
The scariest part of being an ADULT is that one gets more worried about someone else. I couldnt care less if I walked into the clearing at the end of the path. But I dont want my parents or M or my new parents and sis to tread the same road!
***
in the current scare of the Flu of '09, doesnt anyone notice that we haven't got rain for days?
***
"so you have a Jealous boyfriend, woohoo, I'm SOOOO happy for you. Couldn't have happened to a better person"
Does this sound sarcastic? |

Dayum .... 4 months of horrible torture to get the house painted and come the rains , a balcony is STILL sprouting water like an oasis.
Blame the Addams family upstairs.
***
A big paradigm shift (woah big phrase there!) that occurred in my blogging after I married = I cant blog about EVERYTHING. Well maybe i was always a little (correction, a LOT) vague about things that I blogged about , but nowadays I have to think , 40000 moves ahead before putting anything on here. I just dont want to hurt A Special Someone!
***
The rains (like the Times of India says in most articles) allegedly *SEEM* to be picking up . As expected, water has logged wherever it wishes to. And people are still pointing fingers. And no one realises that 200 acres of prime City Lung (read Mangrove swamp) has been wiped out of existence by the Greedy $$$ eyed Monsters.
***
lots of blue flowers!

| Five Things Meme |
[Feb. 27th, 2009|09:52 pm] |
Comment to this and I'll list five things that come to mind when I think of you. Then post in your LJ with elaborations on the subjects given.
I volunteered and these are the five things that come to Sampada's mind, when she thinks of me
1. Birds - have been a part of my life ever since i was tiny. I recall being told that one of my first words was "Payayayayyaa" which is a close approximation of the word for Pigeon.Pigeons, and sparrows nesting in my (then open) window boxes have been a close memory of mine for the last quarter century. Even now, with the "Towers of Mordor" blocking my view of the sunrise/moonrise, i still listen for the multitonal tweeting of the little black bird with the long twitchy tail.
The very concept of letting go and soaring, that is what attracts me the most to birds. That and the very embodiment of melody (for some) and chaos (for others)
2. Stephen King - hate him. love him. commercial. scary. I discovered his books once in passing through a airport bookshop (where i spent most of my younger years discovering books, before Oxford and Crossword). Of late, he has fallen silent. Not really, although he did pen "Cell" and another book i saw in passing, the title for which i forget [EDIT] Its called "Lisey's Story [EDIT] ... "The Dark Tower" that will be a high point in his works.
I didnt like his work on a particular novel which had aliens emerging from random rectii (sic?)...
Read "It", "Salem's Lot", "Desperation", "Regulators", "The Stand" , "The Shining","Bag of Bones", "Dark Half","Four Past Midnight","BLack House".
Stephen King guarantees you plenty of nightmares.....
More about King
3. Rains - I miss them when they arent here. I miss them when they are on their way out. I do NOT miss them when stuck knee deep in sewage water. I love the smell they bring at first. I do not love the smell that occurs when they hang around for 3 months. I love the washed look of the trees, and the sunshine through the hills when the rain is falling. I am unsure about what i feel about mushrooms and toadstools. I worry when they are late. I worry when they are absent.
4. Computers - Would i even be writing this meme if Computers didnt exist? or i was computerphobic? Computers ensured i met most of the wonderful people i know today. Heck i'd have missed meeting the Companion on my Sea of Life if it werent for computers! When they are a tool for my PHB's hitting me I dont enjoy them, but a lot of work and play in life is linked to computers !
5. Confessions - That is what my blog has been about mostly. The weight of endless confessable whatsits that sit on my head in the offline world have found free flight in this LJ outlet.
lastly, I confess that I love every one of my commenters :) and my Readers, that silent majority! |

Lately i've realised,that i visit blogs and leave uncommented.I open email and having typed delete it.I visit scrapbooks,and having typed one,cancel it and move on.Ive come to believe that my opinions,my voice,has been drowned in this babel of busyness.If its not your fault that you are too busy to keep in touch,its not mine either to miss hearing from you! |

Where do we look?What do we fight?They have faces just like us.The chalta hai attitudes we have ,allowed,just to get things faster will be our downfall.To draw close in hate-filled cliques is just what they aimed for. |
