Surprised?

Don't tell me you are not! Absconding for a month and back with several posts in a single day? Lack of updates is owing to a mixture of lazy and busy. Umm...this is a moot point if there is no one reading this! Anyways, I am very much active on Twitter and discovered Posterous through Twitter.

Posterous is the simplest blogging platform I have ever seen. Recently, I have been posting a lot of short stuff there, like I used to do an year back here. Since Posterous auto-posts to Twitter, I get a reasonable amount of user feedback and comments on the fly.

This got me thinking and the final nail was the import facility from Blogger. I imported all my posts to Posterous (Comments are not yet done, but they say its coming!). Posterous also auto-posts to Blogger (and a large number of other services). From now on, my posts will be appearing here as usual. But I will be posting through Posterous. There will be a lot of activity owing to my penchant of posting the small stuff I find in my daily routine. There will be longer posts as usual. But these will intermittent, much like my current level of updates.

Now, what does it mean for you, the faithful "Confessions of a Dangerous Mind" reader? Nothing much! You can read it from here or from my current RSS feed. But I would prefer you to subscriber to my Posterous RSS feed, since it would contain galleries and stuff like that.

This blog has seen my blood, sweat, and tears over the last 4 years. It will continue to be! One day, I may just merge the blogs and move it over to a single domain with the Posterous engine.

So, without further ado say hello to Pain on the Posterior!

Scholarship!

Found this is Friday Five and liked it. 1. If you were to have a scholarship created in your honor, what qualities would you look for in applicants (leadership, service, GPA, etc.)? GPA is bullshit. People with high GPA can be both muggers and geniuses. There can be people with no real "definitive talent" having a high GPA. Also, some can be flatout arses with no regard for the society. I would never create a scholarship in terms of GPA. Service is paramount. IQ and EQ both are equally important. Abstract thought counts. Creativity would be a defining factor. Enthusiasm is a must. There will be personal interviews. 2. Who would be eligible to apply for your scholarship (members of a certain major, ethnic group, sexuality, etc.)? No discrimination except there would be a weightage given to economically disadvantaged. Their need would be greater than that of a well to do kid. 3. Would it be need-based or not? Why? Need-based is contentious. Whose need? Some may need the money ...

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...
