Once upon a Time...

As urs truly was spending yet another night blog-hopping ( made easy by their inclusion in the orkut profiles of various people) , a series of tiny flashes of light started lighting up my otherwise dark brain.The brain, shocked and taken aback by such unusual,sudden activity nevertheless proceeded to decode the signals...maybe..just maybe..it said...you can start your own blog, neethi!
Are you kidding me?..I..well..signaled back ..and just why do you suppose I should do that?..Im happy now, not needing to employ any of my grey cells which, seeing that they are so small in number, needs to be preserved for far more important things in the future which may require their use..

More flashes of light..
Hmmm...you have a point (emotion decoded: slight dejection)...but I have reasons to believe this might be a good idea...

I'm sure you have..but I'm afraid I do not have the time or the inclination to listen to them...I am currently very busy, dear..umm... flash of light, pondering over something I read in somebody's else blog, trying to make some sense out of 'Mistress of Spices'( I did, btw,yippeee), watching endless stuff on YouTube, trying to break my previous record of sleeping for 14 hours etc..So you see, however valid or wonderful your reasons may be, I simply cannot squeeze a blog into my schedule...Thanku ..tata..bubye...go ahead and brighten somebody else's brain...

But, if you could just hear me through..c'mon, you hate it when somebody stubbornly refuses to do something without even taking the possibility into consideration,don't you? Aha..you are now being hypocritical (emotion decoded: smug)...

Hummphh...k..lets hear it then, you sneaky,manipulative thing...but make it fast...I'm a busy girl...

Hehe..I knew you would come around...( ed: wide grin)..arite, the reasons.
first off, why were you blog-hopping?

well...thats easy...I was bored..3 months is a bit too long for vacns..and after a really hectic sem, it seems even more longer...and as I discovered, some of the blogs are quite interesting to read...

(ed: calm, clear-headed)There's your first reason then : Many are bound to be bored like you...and like u may also resort to blog-hopping...so this is the best time for you to start a blog as the probability of ppl reading it atleast once is more...pluuuusss....here's the second: this would be a good way to keep you from being bored...

Alrite, Ill give you the first one...but as for the second one, I'm afraid you goofed buddy...I have a certain criteria for anything which can be considered as potential boredom-destroyers...that whatever it is , must not involve any kind of effort from my side ...and blogging, my friend, does not fall into this category...which is why I'm bored in the first place..most of the things that can be used to remove boredom requires (shudder) effort ...

Well..granted that it does require a bit of effort ...but not as much you are wont to think...it's the easiest to do on the net..it follows no particular format..there are no rules...you can just scribble down anything you want, whenever you want and however you want..and besides, it'll provide a platform to try out all your newly learnt css and html...you can simply try making changes to the already existing template they provide....

Hmmm...when u put it that way, it doesn't seem like too bad an idea...buuuuuttt....its easy for you to say 'anything u want..blah blah..'..If you're such a know-it-all gimme some examples of 'anything'..(gotcha!)..annd..about css, ha...ten bucks says no one in their right minds will feel like reading the blog after I make 'modifications' to it with my negligible css knowledge(for want of better term)..

Hey..hey..cool it,arite...Im trying to help you here...and about 'anything' (ed:deep sigh)...must I tell you everything?..well..don't you have all these opinions of urs which you always feel is not long enough to actually write an article on?

Yeah....

well..you can pen them down here...then you could maybe write all those incidents in your life which you find really funny (u know.. the ones you slightly exaggerate when you narrate them to ur friends...)..or embarrasing( lol...I can't believe you actually asked at the ticket counter in ekm for a ticket to ekm..you should write about that..)

Gr8....Thanx a lottt :( ...I wasnt exactly planning on writing my embarassing moments...and btw, I DID NOT exagerate those stories..they really happened that way...honest...

(Yawn)...uh-huh..if you say so pal...and abt your css, you have to try it out somewhere, don't you? I'm just saying this is the safest place...

Alrite then..I guess I caaaann start a bl- aha !(triumphant) ..wait a minute...I can't ....

( ed: resignation) What is it this time?

I ...tend to ramble....In case I do get down to writing posts,I have this nasty habit of straying away from the topic a zillion times when something else catches my fancy and can go on to brackets and sub-brackets and then suddenly returning to the original topic ....howsoever delightful I find my rambling, many might find it really tedious and slightly confusing to read...I realised this when I was reading thru an article in wikipedia once...you know how they have links like around 5-6 in each paragragh?each of these links can be thought to be a divertion ...imagine if they inserted the content of these links into the actual topic...its going to run into pages...thats what will happen to my posts..

(ed: deep thought) hmmm...well.....then why don't you solve the problem like wiki did? create links...! I mean whenever you feel like rambling, give it as a link to another post where you can jote down your ramblings..that way you can ramble all you want and only ppl who want to read it need click on them...

yeah...! I guess I could try to see if I can make that work...I never thot i'll say this..but I think I'm beginning to like you...

I knew you would...everyone does...they don't call me 'Muse' for nothin' you know..

That's what you are?? My Muse..?..where were you all this time,huh?..esp when i really needed to write an article or a poem or think creatively?..I take back what I said...you are inconsistent,flighty, flip, mood-

Love to stay and chat, dear,but I gotta go..umm..light somebody else's brain like you said..bye..tata..see ya...mayb...

Wait...You can't just GO!...How am I supposed to write the other posts???....now lissen, you wait rite there mister...

But there were no more flashes...

Welll ...then I guess that ends this intro post ...As you can see, I have no idea when or what the next post is gonna be...that's why I wrote this convo down..so you wont be surprised by either sudden appearance of a lot of posts or if the blog seems to have been forgotten by the owner (just waiting for the muse, folks)...Until next time...toodles...
