IN A LIGHTER VEIN.....


Hello friends,

I always wanted my life to revolve around CRICKET; but for a career, was forced to somehow move it around electronic CIRCUIT; finally I've found an unexpected refuge in the job of a CRITIC. So here I am, to speak out my mind on any relevant/irrelevant topic. I don't want to hurt anybody's sentiments but in case you feel that way-you can always comment against it (What I actually want to say here is: "I DON'T GIVE A DAMN. IT'S MY BLOG!!" , but I don't want to lose a handful of my forced readers whom I always request, coerce, force or blackmail to read my blog, so ignore whatever is written in quotes). I even misuse CR's power & attach a link of my blog as signature to the mails I send to my classmates so that they may accidentally click it. :-) Atleast, I am being honest about it.


Its all about advertising. The number of blogs are over 100 million whereas the number of orkut users being 40 million+. So, Darwin's law of survival of the fittest, like anywhere else applies here as well. This virtual blogoshere where people are ready to share evrything- be it real life events (blogging & social networking), information (wikipedia), video (youtube), audio (podcasting) is ever expanding. I am more than convinced that I am not a part of REAL India because according to media & popular belief, REAL India resides in slums so I want to atleast book a space in this virtual world. So, please help me in this by reading my blog consistently :-)


Many people who read my 1st blog or claimed to have read it found that it was too caustic & didactic a blog for a rookie. I think a person's creative best comes out when he's either eulogising or criticising something. I just wanted to check if I am worth being read or not. I haven't been able to fathom the response but either way I will continue to write.
