Why does the geyser take so long?

Yes, you are here. And you will read this right till the end because somewhere in this post I'm going to mention Bipasha Basu.

Creedence Clearwater Revival



I'm hooked to this band. Don't know what the hell that name means. These days my playlist oscillates between CCR and Pearl Jam. The latter's lyrics are particularly frustoo, but the songs are good. Don't ask why. This is not the English literature class. So I'm not going to explain WHY I like something.

2 working days


I wisely took courses such that all my classes fall on 2 days of the week. So now I have this huge Sunday which lasts 5 days and 2 Mondays which are more annoying than they have ever been.

That gives me a lot of time to work on my BTP. The BTP! There is no light at the end of this tunnel. In fact, there's no end at all. It is like a dark circular tunnel and I've been running rounds.

CZ


Everybody in the wing has started playing. So have I. And I suck at it. I'm the biggest danger to my teammates, the master tk-er. I suck so badly that I play by the name jhand_khiladi. But I can't give up.

Seinfeld


I finished watching all of Seinfeld that is there on the LAN. (Someone please download Part 2 of the finale and the missing episodes of the 4th season.) I totally loved the show. Especially all the hot girlfriends Jerry gets. I hate Elaine. Actually, in the beginning, she was my favourite character. But later she got too annoying. And Geroge is so un-cool! But I like that character too. Or should I say, identify with him? We do have things in common.

If you haven't seen it yet, giddy up!

Well, that's it. You came here for Bipasha Basu? Sorry, you have been taken for a ride.

Updates

An year ago, I would have given a grand title to this post. I would've stood up and waved to accept the applause from all the readers of this blog. I would've given a speech saying how glad I am to be back after a fairly long break and how much I missed blogging and the readers.

But, I'm doing nothing of that sort. A part of the reason is the fairly obvious lack of readers who'd be willing to do the cheering and applauding. Instead, I'm wondering whether it would be appropriate to write an update post.

Now you might say that posting an update is like accepting defeat. You would have a valid point if you say that an update-worthy, interesting life, would leave little time to post updates.

When a blogger posts an update, he might be doing it to keep his blog alive. Then it is the same as the sad story of a struggling actor who ends up in the porn industry. Sometimes it might be a totally shameless i-have-nothing-to-blog-about-but-i-want-to-hence-this-update post. Such a post is no better than Himesh saying, "Yes, I sing through my nose. So what?". It is like one of his compositions.

But, we all know that both pornography and Himesh's albums, do great business. And there's nothing we can do about it. In fact, we can't afford to do anything to curb these things.

The blogosphere is built on the foundations of update posts. Someone tells us about how she threw a surprise birthday party for her husband, someone blogs about her six month old son, someone reviews his first month on a new job. And, to be frank, it isn't boring.

Here's to all the updaters of the blogosphere!
