The Big Comeback Isn't Happening

a. Because a job takes a lot out of you.

b. Because there is hardly anything worthwhile to post on considering I am living too far off from the newspaper or the television or "the happening crowd ".

c. Because people are not blogging much these days - that means less chance of reading some inspiring post and then to subject the world to the torture of some of my views on the same.

d. Because I hate to treat my blog as a Twitter or Facebook update column and leave behind one-liners reeking of moronic simplicity.

e.g - " Have a new mouth to feed in two months. My cat got pregnant again." or

" Isn't Sachin the greatest batsman ever? huh? huh? huh?"

2008 - 2007 = 1

It's a little late perhaps, but, as we Bangalis are of the habit of prolonging our Bijoyaa greetings till Kaali pujo, I hereby take the opportunity to wish you all

A Very Happy and Prosperous New Year

in the truest Bangaali spirit and the attendant languorous bliss.

Well, it has already been three full days into the new year and it's still the 'same old story' with my life. Nothing seems to have moved an inch.

Complaining and complaining profusely is not in my nature. So, I hereby preclude all such aspersions which are on the verge of being cast on me, of being a 'hopeless sulker'.
I am actually content that nothing seems to be changing that much with me or my life. Some how, I have grown to become fond of stagnation which, I guess, I take for stability.

So, here's hoping for an Indian batting collapse in Adelaide, a drowning monsoon in Kolkata, a glut of bandhs and hartals to provide lazy afternoon siestas to middle-aged Sorkaari clerks, numerous ways to celebrate my infinite unemployment, a new set of 'gulp-downable' gyaans on a multiplicity of issues, a final adieu to my college, 'spreading sweetness and light' everywhere (i.e being true to my name) and helping at least one person realize the goal of his being and in the process exploring the same probing question for my own sake.
