Such a dumb title ! … that should also give a hint about the utter lack of creativity of this Post-Man (Blogger :D ) …
I have lost it totally i think .. lost that urge to blog … lost that urge to rant .. to crib .. to do BC .. to spam … to think .. to philosophise (i think i am using this word for the first time in my life :D ) … to criticise (rant crib are all different flavours of the same thing :) ) …
Have lost lot of such things :( … Industry has sapped a lot of me from me :( ..
May be i should blog .. blogging is good .. where was that link that Prof.PJN sent sometime back .. that was a good article on blogging …. If someone has that paste as a comment …
Partly to blame is Mozilla Firefox ( version 2.something.something) .. it crashes so so so often .. that atleast 5 posts i wrote in between got lost .. On a linux machine FC6 .. :( …
I end this post here … purposeless junk post .. i know .. good posts will surely come in the future .. this post was just to check .. hmm .. lets say .. the new wordpress interface .. wordpress has changed a lot .. the very fact i am noticing all this NOW .. shows how dull life has been all these months :) …
I end with this awesome quote … infact two ..
“this is our world , although the people who drew this map decided to put their own land on top or ours . there is no top or bottom you see”…
Found this in an african fiction book by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie .. “Half of a yellow sun” …
Also while reading Michael Atherton’s autobiography , there is a chapter titled ‘Cold and Timid souls’ in which he mentions this quote by theodore roosevelt
“It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat”
PS : I still read blogs … if i stop that too .. i know whom to blame .. software industry :D … it drains off all the energy that i have on weekdays .. weekends just go waste in trying to recuperate all that you lost on weekdays :) … but the problem .. i need my daily wages .. so i continue to work … falling deeper and deeper into mediocrity … compromising on all the ideals on all the dreams .. on everything :) …
PS1 : How philosophical was the above PS .. especially the last 2-3 lines .. Rate on a scale of 10 :D
PS2 : Oh and yes .. I am alive …

you sound like an old man! people of my batch have been working in the same energy-sapping IT industry for past 3 years and are still blogging regularly - rakesh, utkarsh, jayaram, sanyam, sandeep to name some…
and yeah the ‘P’hilo’S’ophical would soon give way …. soon you’ll be immune to the pressures of the work :P
