Bloggers And Bummers

*This post is written as a guest post @ Ye life hai...take it lightly! to keep the blog in running condition. The same way as we need to fire up our old car once in a while to keep the battery from dying.


I was terrified when Sadiya told she wants to add me to her ‘team’. Whenever I bring myself to write something my mind goes as blank as a new MS Word document.

In my student days even my essay type answers dint last more than a pitiful few lines, so to write an entire post without being called a literary massacre, was too much to ask for. I like writing for sure and this was Sadiya’s way of encouraging me to start writing. So I wrote for Blog-a-ton aka BAT and when I wrote, the words came out in spades. They ate up an entire week-end of the poor reader. Nevertheless, I ‘Batted’ for 2 innings managed to score a few votes and was declared  winner retired hurt and I had my i-told-you-so moment.

 I was advised that to win any contest either make the audience cry, cringe or criticize. People of giggles and guffaws are not taken seriously and have no moral standing in the society of esteemed writers. That’s the reason people like David Dhavan have never cared to buy a tuxedo for themselves (one for wearing at awards function).

Anyway, by now you must have known that I am the passive and non-working member of ‘chotu sa team’. People who still don’t agree can click here to find  two soporific posts in the last 200 years. So to sound cool, I call myself as a ‘seasoned writer’ (draught and famine?). I write on special occasions. Such as now.

The occasion?

Saving my life!

Yes.

Sadiya ke blog se khilwaad karna maut ko daawat dene ke barabar hai!!

She had handed over the Power of Attorney of her blog to keep updating it with posts so that her beloved readers don’t think she has left the noble cause of blogging and has taken up other insignificant and unnecessary activities like awareness of Global Warming and child labour. No she has not. FYI she returns back from abroad next week.

All this time bloggers were mistaken as loners, nerds and geeks but truth be told, it needs a lot more audacity and courage than you think to turn away from that interesting Big Boss show on TV or resist that movie plan with your friends/cousins or that long sweet chat with your boy/girlfriend on Yahoo Messenger and sit in front of the computer and feed it with thousands of words. So basically they are super-humans. Like Drona and Ra-one.

Now that Sadiyaji has shown immense faith in me, I wish to jump into the bandwagon of bloggers again. Fortunately for me, the situation is all ideal. Here in Riyadh, with an almost non-existent social life and lots of spare time at job (yes you heard it right. Will have a complete post dedicated to my job 'responsiblities' later) I hope to become a Drona good blogger.

Having said this, I have decided to launch a "Mega Project" in my blog, where I will write posts under the title 'Women and Men In My Life'. It will detail some interesting people and my bizarre/funny experiences with them.

Thats about it. Now for the disclaimers -

1-*statutory warning - I hold the license to exaggerate, kill common sense and logic

2-If you find any spellos/irritating stuff, just don't get angry, take a deep breadth and think of some good old days.

3- Un/knowingly you may feel offended by my posts/remarks and it mite break your heart. But let me tell you or rather remind you -since none of you are in Samarkand you are prone to heart break.

4- Aur han.. No offended souls trying to intimidate me by using different names, if u know what I mean.

Because @ my blog I WONT take it lightly!
