A Brief Hiatus...

Exams are breathing down my neck and i have'nt done much serious preparation. The last unis (hopefully!) and I plan to make some mark (literally and figuratively) at least this time.
There are a lot of issues burning and on which I have an urge to write. Then again I don't feel like writing and writing is a responsiblity. You have to think and scrutinise the feedback. It is like any other job.
I always believe in giving the best in what ever I do. To be more cheesy I am borrowing some words from Spiderman : "With great powers come grest responsibilty"
You have to be responsible for what you do and learn from your feedback. Right now I don't have enough time and mind to do it.
So I thought it would be best to take a leave from blogging till my exams are over. It would last till the end of next month.
Unless something dramatic happens which would move me to write I don't think I would be writing...
Praveen has a written a good post on the reservation issue...do read that if you have'nt already. Raise your voice against this malice. No matter how feeble it is every voice counts...
No matter the struggle succeeds or not the youth of India has shown that they have guts and a spine to stand up against injustice.
I salute those in struggle and dedicate the song "We are the champions" by Queen.
Take a note on the lyrics...its fitting for the situation...
Adios till we meet again...

We are the champions - my friends
And we'll keep on fighting - till the end -
We are the champions -
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions - of the world -

The End...

This is the final post in this blog. Nearly five years ago, I started this blog from an Internet Cafe. 5 years on, the blog has probably chronicled my state of being. The triumphs, losses, disappointments et al. All this while, I have been experimenting with lot of things and even tried to switch the blog multiple times. This time the switch is for real. I want a fresh start without the baggage. You could even say I am a little inspired by Up in the Air. I don't really have an ETA for a new blog. I could start posting today, tomorrow, or never. Go to: Idle thoughts and update your references. See you out there! Signing off with these words from Jim Morrison: This is the end Beautiful friend This is the end My only friend, the end Of our elaborate plans, the end Of everything that stands, the end No safety or surprise, the end I'll never look into your eyes...again Can you picture what will be So limitless and free Desperately in need...of some...stranger's...

Ancient Thrills

Ancient civilization. Dig. Gun. Artifact. Conspiracy. Esoterica. Professor. Prospective authors please note, you will get atleast one buyer for your book if these key words are there on your book cover. It would also help if you get someone to give comments like "Stunning!", "Tour De Force!" etc. I am such a sucker! My book collection has grown because of a few books I bought specifically due to these keywords. A small list which could well be incomplete: The Temple by Mathew Reilly Cover of Temple Peru. Inca. Idol. Guns. Pretty decent. Good read on a lonely day. Seven Ancient Wonders by Mathew Reilly Decent book. Lots of traps and thrills. Moments like the discovery of the Hanging Gardens are really good. Six Sacred Stones by Mathew Reilly Sequel to the above book. Same old stuff. The ending is a cliff hanger though. The Last Testament by Sam Bourne Cover of The Last Testament Palestine. Israel. Biblical artifact. Middle east solution. Peace talks. Okay okay book. ...
Should know when to keep my foul mouth shut and not pass snarky comments. Feels like shit. "You despicable idiot!", screams my inner voice. Sad! Lesson: Consistency is the key in being a good human being. A deliberate slip, however tiny means the good work is undone.
