The Lull before the Storm

I feel a little bad that some of you come here everyday expecting a new post and find nothing! Anyhow, this sadness is short-lived cos I have devised a cunning plan which would allow me to blog more often. So just bear with me for few more weeks!

In the meanwhile, here are some new developments:

  • The new blog toy, cocomment, is really cool. Its definitely one of the “in” things right now. It allows you to keep track of all the comments you make on others’ blogs and also allow you to share your comments on your blog with help of a blog box, which can be seen on the sidebar of my blog too. You can customize it so suit your template but I haven’t done that because of paucity of time. Its still in beta but then so is Flickr and even Gmail so it’s okay.
  • I met Sher-e-Jalandhar last weekend and for some reason he thinks that I am very serious which I don’t think I am. I’m only a little serious but don’t mind being called “brooding types”. He seemed like a fun and easygoing guy. (Sorry SeJ, I don’t do compliments very well. I am far better at criticizing.)
  • I also met an old friend from school after 14 years (the one I mentioned in this post). It was fun to meet her after such a long gap. Also, NamesDatabase has now linked to that post and I am getting a lot more hits than usual. But what makes me really happy is when someone they refer checks out some of my other posts too.
  • Our company is taking us for an outing this weekend and since the location is top secret and we are all supposed to have loads of fun there, if I don’t blog for next few weeks, it would be safe to assume that I died bcos of all the fun.
  • Update: I always wanted to apply for The Amazing Race. But now that they are actually allowing Asian people to apply for an Asian version, I realized I couldn’t apply. Firstly, I don’t have a teammate and secondly, I can’t take a leave of 30-40 days if I get selected. Actually, I don’t have a passport either but it is expected any day now. So looks like I’ll just have to be content with watching TAR.

    @greensatya: I dont know how much fun it will turn out to be. Lets hope for the best.

    @akanksha: Jealous? They’re making us dance!!

    @freeze: Its the asian version. I don’t think they will ask the contestants to eat meat.

    @shruthi: Alright, sure thing.

    aha. I absolutely LOVE tar. :) They’re having an Asian edition?? sayi. as for dying because of all the fun, its better to die of that than a depressing sob story reason. :p

    @aaki: Yes, they are having an asian edition. It should be fun.

    //its better to die of that than a depressing sob story reason

    U see, the problem is that my idea of fun is different from that of the organizers. I dont think being forced to dance is fun at all.

    lol, that was just an excuse! i can come up with a thousand reasons as to why i shud not go and participate!! hehe

    but i still think that there will be meat involved. its always there. remember once there was ostrich’s egg, and squid (ewww.. with all the eyes and all hanging out!!). this is what makes it more interesting. what ppl will do just to win!!

    @freeze: ha ha. But i must say that its a pretty good excuse :)

    I remember the whole Rob and Amber making other people not eat the meat too :)

    @hiren: I hope Jessica Lall’s family gets justice.

    @becky: Its really cool! Try it!
