Lazy....Busy...Whatever!

Not been posting anything for a while. I know I know! And didn't intend to do anything today also! Just been reading my posts and sort of felt a little guilty for not writing anything.

Not exactly anything...I have been working on my first novel! In the kiln for over 5 (or is it 6?) years now!

Finally started writing it after a long speech about what I was about to do and all with a friend...wrote a couple of pages and it sucked! Wanted to do a rewrite, but never bothered...I guess I need to have more control and focus...

Anyways, back to business! Whats news? Apparently the new budget has come out, Indian cricket team left (leaving?) for the Caribbean to get that elusive cup, people are dying, people are being born...Life goes on just like that...

Seems like I just cannot handle the pace of my life...its just too slow with obviously nothing great happening...then again I am not Indiana Jones to go on perilous adventures and make out with great women! :-P

Ideas are there...but they have to take wing! I need to think and for once start doing things that I think...Time is a factor? May be...But I do spent hours in the cyberspace doing nothing except for the times when I chat...Downloading heck a lot of stuff...not watching or playing any of those is just the teeny weeny problem.

You couldn't say not watching anything...Been watching 'The Wonder Years', probably the first english serial I watched after I could comprehend what they were talking! Loved every episode...could relate so much with it inspite of being at poles with Kevin Arnold...

Downloading Season 2 now...Hope I get all 6 done...

Thats all...

Adios...

    "Downloading heck a lot of stuff...not watching or playing any of those is just the teeny weeny problem."
    i think most of us are guilty of tht... :)
    though i usually make it a point to listen /watch whate'er i download atleast once, usually immediately after i d/w it....but after tht it may remain untouched for months or years altogether...well unless i absolutely fall in love with it 'n till something else new 'n better doesn't come along... :)

Sigh!

Why is the beer bottle so slender? I think its a deconstruction of the fact that you get a pot belly after a few beers over a period of time. Ah well, I should be taking a few sit ups! Ciao. P.S: I should be remembering the following cartoon before I start a fight with someone. Ciao again. (toon courtesy: xkcd )

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. ...
