A meaningful title indeed. It means I am Alive!! Now I can't complain about having nothing to blog about, I can put a post listing out the reasons for not being able to blog...wah wah Kya Idea sirji ..
Speaking about Idea, the recent Walk and Talk[or something on that lines] ad by idea bought only negative thoughts for me. Reminded of the incident were this lady who was talking on phone and walking or rather crossing a railwaytrack was run over by the train. Any which way looks like the idea will reduce indian population, so still Kya Idea sirji stands.
Getting back to the reasons I was unable to post a post following are some
a) Our group's 3rd year anniversary production is coming up on 26th & 27th September, was full time into writing the script. Now that the first draft is over, time to cool my heel. The script has come out better than I had dreamt of. Hope the execution part too goes well
b)My 2.5 years old nephew, who is a dennis reincarnate has taken control of my PC at home, trust me that guy..err..baby/kid knows a hell lot of techie stuff. He can insert a C.D --> right-click --> Autorun from my computer. Refresh a webpage by hitting F5[something I knew only in my 1st year of masters]. Knows to pick and choose the Kid's rhymes page from favourites, though he can't read as such. As I was welling up with this sense of pride,I went to my friend's place and saw that her daughter, all of 10months old can switch on and shutdown a laptop and can differentiate a real laptop from a toy one[ofcoz rejects the toy]. What can I say..just give the cliched... kids these days expression and move.
c) The work...suddenly I find myself in a product development team and am learning that developing a product is pretty tough. So next time I curse Microsoft, I'd show some mercy.
In other news I have found that I am good food critic..For a second time Burrp has featured my review as the best of the week :-) .One thing I realized was to be a food critic you need not be a foodie, just need imagination and writing skills. I have seen many foodies,the ones who swear by food,unable to express in words why they love a particular cuisine...burrp looks like a place to good start off.
In one another news, my status as a single would be coming to an end pretty soon. Don't think I can exhibit my food critique skills after that at home :P

My goodness!!! Kids are bright these days. *koff koff*
My 3yr old nephew is a Ramayana fanatic. So he knows that he has to go to Youtube to watch it online.
Congratulations on losing your virg..er.. singlehood :P *wink*
Swat,
Well..now when I was a kid like you i never used the V word :P. Times change drastically you see.
Thanks a lot and yeah blore trip in on :)
Excuse me?? I like how you slipped that last little zinger in at the end!!! Wha?? Please tell. I take it you are working up to more details to share. Please.
Yeah about the kids. I had a friend whose 2-year-old could set up a computer.
Hope the play is stellar. What's it about? Well, you can blog about that too, eh? See, I'm good for ideas at least.
I googled Kya Idea but didn't get enlightened. I really do love reading Indianisms (Desi?), except when I don't know what they mean. Not that I will ever learn them all.
Ruth,
:-) it was supposed to be this tiny little news in the last line..the bells ring in november.
It's about Pirates, sure will put a few parts of the script over here too.
You got to google "what an idea sirji" an ad campaign which had some interesting ones in it.i google lot of french stuff and actually forget it 2mins after i read it :)
3 year anniversary! Wow! Congrats, guys! :)
buhahahahahahahahahahaha!!!! kids...evolution my friend!!!
jus read one half of the script...and um ROFLLLlllllllllllll cant wait to read the rest :DDDDD
congrast.....Treat...the sarakus the murukus the waiting :D
I sort of like the advert!
And yeah, kids are amazingly intelligent these days.. I have a huge list of proofs!
ROFL @ Swat n the V word.. I agree, in our days, we never used such vocabulary (see, voca.. is such a nice V word!!)
When is the Bangalore trip coming on? For RP's?
Good to see u alive :-)
And aaj ke kids are far more sharper than any of us in that age.
Congrats for the goood news :-)
yup! vrij thtz rite! for Rp's!!! u makin it too????
November bells - wow, awesome! Congratulations!
yea thats a different angle to the walk and talk... burning calories is one thing, but watching where u walk is another altogether!
a) good luck!! wish i was in chennai to see it! :-) if it ever travels to delhi, pls let me know!
b) to use an oft-repeated expression: "kids these days! oof!"
c) lol reminds me of the time we had to make a 10-min documentary film as part of our grad course. by the time we finished making it, i swore to be kinder to film makers while reviewing/trashing new films!!
i'm a foodie myself and have reviewed cuisines/restaurants quite a lot as a journalist. and no u dont ahve to be a gourmet cook to be able to appreciate/express ur love for food. it's "elemenary, my dear watson!" :-) pls provide the link for ur article.. wud love to read it!
and as for the last part, if thats ur way of announcing ur marriage/new relationship, u arent sounding too thrilled by it, i must say! :P lol
good to see a post from u after sch a long time .. kids of every successive generation get wiser and smarter .. good luck with the anniversary thingie !.. u r burping quite a lot .. paathuko !! ;-)
Glad to see something from you.

I am saving this in a document so I can kill you , pretty sure u wont come :P...and to be frank I am thinking which is tougher becoming a father or operating a computer, especially after working in a call center and handling 'smart' customers.
