what the hell ! suddenly decided to wake up did you ? comatose ? everything fine ?
yeah yeah… i know 4 years is not exactly a “break” or even a sabbatical that one generally takes …but lets just say i was too involved with the world and the things that were happening around…
and now you arent ?
well of course, just that i feel that writer’s urge to come back and do some finger exercising (probably not done so earnestly since vgsom !) anyways…all said and done, i do hope to be here more often than not… not making any promises but will genuinely try !
wow ! so many things have happened since the last time i wrote ! doesnt really feels its only 4 years (contrary to what i was feeling which was quite the opposite when i started writing this entry)…things change, people change (or atleast the way you see them changes) the way you are going on in life too changes… speaking of change, there’s so much talk thats happening about the green revolution that people decided to bring about … dont really know or frankly it probably wont have any impact in my life but yes something toppling down after 34 years is definitely big… speaking of big, they have announced a 5.5 Rs hike in petrol… and again that usual yada yada of the hike still not being enough to match the international fuel prices… dont really understand the economics here.. either you deregulate the price completely or you keep it in your check by subsidizing or petro bonds or whatever.. its only when the games start playing of delaying things when the power is at stake that changes the equation a lot… come to think of it i havent or atleast dont recollect the petrol prices going down ever since its been dergulated..or may be my memory is not with me at the moment… i remember early 90s… going out with my dad in his bajaj to those petrol stations to get that 2T mix ..those days it was somewhere in between 25 -30…now with the prices going probably to an all time high of nearly 70 would seriously have to consider giving up my car in the next 5 years to switch to a hybrid or a bike … anyways, we have to live with this so better grin while at it…
another thing which made me stay up till this time was that i stumbled across few posts dating back to 2006 when i was about to join the b-school… made me nostalgic and was going through some posts ppl had posted on pagalguy, the initial enthu all of us had, the excitement of starting a new life and leaving behind the existing was almost evident on everyone… its quite a wonder what an instant can do for you, an instant which can change your life and make it go in a very different direction… the power of change…the promise and hope of a new beginning… i remember the energy and excitement it brought me at that time and i guess will feel the same way if a change were to happen again, anytime now or in the future…makes me think that we are not living for the life that a change brings about but probably live for the changes that our life has the promise to come up with, every now and then… ok i guess i am too sleepy coz gen this is the phase when i can speak or write a lot of otherwise complex or utterly nonsensical things which just flow out through my hands rather than getting filtered through my head first… i remember practicing for a case study with Apul once and there was one point in which we had agreed some points that i’ll cover, when my turn came to speak i totally blanked and didnt remember anything which we had talked about but still managed to speak some long smooth utter gibberish which lasted for 2 mins.. at the end of it i remember Apul’s face (who was incidentally nodding very helpfully while i was in flow as if perhaps more out of sympathy than anything) and he blurted out…”dude tu abhi kya bol raha tha !!” we both paused for a moment and burst out laughing !!
anyways quite a load for a return post… do keep watching for me…
before i log off, a thought for the day… seeing salman’s latest song “character dheela..” almost on every channel, and maybe coz of that or bcoz the tune is catchy, this song is being played over and over in my mind again.. cant help wondering.. is this salman’s way of seeking redemption of all the affairs he had and continues to have… 
g’nite !
