Where, oh where, is the regular post?

So some people  have been telling me, that posting just a song or a TED video is not fair. That does not constitute a "regular" post, you say. Well, it _IS_ a real post, if I say so. And that is because, I say so - I am the blogger who posted those!

This post, also, technically is not a regular post. Although I'd say it is. See, the purpose of this 30-day blogging marathon is to get out of the writer's block. I think I am out of it. But this constant pressure to write something everyday isn't fair. You have a life, so do I. And writing so much isn't possible.

But the important thing is that I am still posting stuff. The post that I am writing now could have been a final summary post, you know, at the end of 30 days. But screw that! I have just realized that holding on to an idea, a post, or just a thought in the head that wants to be expressed isn't good. In fact, the pursuit of a "spectacular" post can lead to the death of the post itself. When I reflect back, I think this was the reason that "choked" my blogging. The pursuit of a great post led to a lack of posts. Meh, no longer.

I have a suspicion that I am past my 24 hour deadline to post this. So I'll probably turn the clock back a bit as well just to make sure  :)

Maa khuh chihal a panjam hastam

The hit counter on my blog reached 20074 today. Why you may ask, is that news, and why hadn't I cheered myself up when it was at 20,000 for example? Well, it is news because 20074 has been a very special number for me during my entire college life: it was my admission number, and my system-wide unique identity. It is strange, and surprising, how these numbers become a part of our identity. The social security number, the passport number, the id number in the college, or even your roll number somehow becomes an almost innate part of the day-to-day life. As soon as I see the same number somewhere else: maybe on a telephone, on a hitcounter, maybe somewhere else... a thousand memories are triggered. As my eyes struck the hitcounter showing 20074 right now, I was thrown back to memories of filling up exam answer sheets, hostel admission forms, library recall requests, and so much more! I believe that number was present on almost every official form which I filled in college: even when ...

A day in the life of a new Indian housewife in the US

Thank you everybody for all those comments on the last post - yeah it made me feel a lot better :). Actually, I was curious about who are the 181 readers who show up on FeedBurner but I don't get to see them ever on comments, etc. But now I know - cheers! :) About this post - the editor of a magazine from Bangalore had asked me to write a chatty gossip column (you know he found the right person, didn't you? :P). However, it has been three weeks since I have sent the article and he hasn't replied to my emails or my phone call. So I'm publishing this article here. If he contacts me, I'll write another article for the magazine again. Enjoy :) --------------- 7:00 am – I woke up. No new Orkut scraps – life is boring. Nope, my cute hubby is still asleep. His drooling mouth looks so cute. Nudged him – leaving bed now. 8:00 am - Hubby still in bed. This has become a daily routine. You try to wake him up, kiss him, and he wants to drag you into bed. Then a littl...

The desi Juliet guide

Ever since I read the desi romeo guide (much, much before I republished it here on the blog), I have been wondering if a similar guide exists for the juliets as well. Similar to biblical history wherein Eve was created after Adam, I am venturing to create the desi Juliet guide. This document may be copied and reproduced freely, except for commercial purposes, provided you mention the source of its first publication here at this URL:. http://sudiptachatterjee.blogspot.com/2007/11/desi-juliet-guide.html I love to say that I have observed only a small percent of the traits I am going to describe in actual people I've met. The rest of it is purely the work of my imagination, and I don't claim that the uncanny resemblance with you in one of these categories necessarily means that you inspired it in the first place. :D So, here we go: %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% THE BALLERINA (Julietofus Dansicus) ================================================ Ever since she ventur...
