Going online
It's work work work everywhere. Story ideas that I have to come up with, others ideas that I have to edit, dreams of the rival group team. Ah... and this is just the beginning!
This is what happens when everything catches pace at the same time.
I am working on a website in a group at the moment. It is on the net (needs work though) with my picture, looking quite exactly like what I didn't want it to but I'll leave that aside.
The team is a mix of international students and it is lots of fun to hear so many accents and so many kinds of English.
An overworked designer who has his sense of humour intact even when we are losing it.
An editor who picks on me as part of her job..... and she is good! :)
My fellow sub who is my first Indian connection in this foreign land.
Yeah that's just a taste of my team.
The rest shall be talked about later.
For the moment I must say I enjoy this amalgamation and fusion of ideas and nationalities.
The site is already dear to me and I shall not hear anything against it.
Are you wondering about the other team? Their site is not that good, trust me. ;)

How many years to this day?
I do not understand why today I have been feeling quite old. I have recollected events form the past and been amazed at the number of years between then and now.
That's not supposed to happen at all today. Today I am supposed to get upset about the world going ooh and aah about things and yet be happy I have so many loving people around me.
This has got to be weirder than all the other Valentine's days that have gone by.
And frankly I don't like this feeling. Its been 8 years since that happened and 6 since that. This is the stuff birthdays are made of. Then why today?
Am I officially entering the phase where I look back at what I have achieved. No! I'd rather ooh and aah and listen to mushy songs.
Is life getting back at me?

Recently...
So I have joined Facebook. Continuing in the tradition of doing some things I wouldn't normally do. I have to admit that I hated it the moment I was 'booked'.
It brought up a bunch of people that I could add to my list of friends and I felt dictated. I wanted to search for my friends, not have some thrown on me.
The funny thing is that people I have not been in touch with have woken up to me. Yes they did say it would be easier to keep in touch this way but I wasn't listening.
Communication has not developed in recent years. If anything it has shrunk- from letters, to emails to lines. Next thing we might just send each other words and it will suffice.
All along I have been sitting back and observing the drama unfold as Orkut and Facebook got famous. They created a huge hype in the beginning and some of it fizzled out, at least in the case of the former. Well lets just say I am happy I didn't let myself get an account there!
But this is an experiment and I pretty much did it for my friends, for my lazy friends who cannot drop a line. So let's see how it goes.
How many friends will I have? How many invitations will I turn down? How many hugs and nudges will I get? Booked, am I not!

It feels so good to blog again!

Jean-e-tically
My life is a pair of jeans
The more fun I have
The tighter it seems
I could do with a new one
But there is no time
And no place to run
I wanted to get it right
But realised long back
There is no perfect fit
A little crinkled,a little faded
It stands in its shades
Life gets a bit jaded
The more fun I have
The tighter it seems
I could do with a new one
But there is no time
And no place to run
I wanted to get it right
But realised long back
There is no perfect fit
A little crinkled,a little faded
It stands in its shades
Life gets a bit jaded

Back
Right then, new month and we are back.
A little spotty but as my friend thinks, I will come out of this better than before. So what have I been up to?
For starters I revisted the phenomenon called Govinda. I caught up on some movies that I had missed all these years. I must say that the guy did rule at one point.
Another mission was to get down to every detail of the Bourne series. I will not go into how very very handsome Matt Damon is and how I have loved him from the day I saw Good Will Hunting...
Besides this was the luxury of doing absolutely nothing. It's a feeling I had been longing for and finally I was there.
The week that went by turned out unexpectedly good. It was the holiday that I needed after my recent vacation.
One week is a lot of time to think. And maybe a few things have changed. Not giving in to the temptation to scratch for a week does teach you something after all.
So I'm back to the old routine but with a fresh start.
