Welcome 2009

Well, I haven’t yet forgotten about having created this page last year, and yes, I know its kind of late to welcome an year at the end of its second quarter, but you see I’ve got many reasons....and then as the saying goes….Better late than never!

So, here are the top ten reasons why I did not blog for the past 5 months.

10. Economy. With the entire world tumbling down around you, it is best that you concentrate and spend minimum time on the internet. Lest your manager catch you red handed and score a point against, in such hard times.

9. Work. Loads of it. Deadlines, deliveries, turnovers, product releases, blah, blah. (By the way, 10 and 9 are closely related).

8. Studies. Yes…you heard me right. Studies. Passing CSQA is no joke. Ask any Certified Software Quality Analyst.

7. Attending friends’ weddings. It all begins with shopping, alterations, bookings, and excitement and reunions and inevitably leaves you with a nostalgia which absolutely incapacitates you of any creativity whatsoever.

6. Reading. Obsession to reach that 100th book mark. Page by one lengthy page you inch closer and closer to that milestone. How can you think of doing anything else then?? Let alone writing. That it was some 3 months ago and that currently I am on my 108th one is another story. (No, I am not paranoid about keeping count of books read, Shelfari does it for me)

5. Movies. It’s an addiction. Writing is so boring compared to it. There’s so much you need to think of our own for writing. Watch movies and criticize them. Much better time pass.

4. Sheer lethargy. Come summer and all you want to do is to relax, lie down, have cold drinks and day dream. Or change channels on the television.

3. Editing your company magazine. Whatever energy for writing still remains (after considering the above reasons) gets directed towards it.

2. Dental pain. Heard of braces? Its self inflicted agony. Trust me, getting rid of Bugs Bunny teeth is no child’s play.

1. There actually is no reason.

Coming to think of it, each of these invalid stupid reasons can themselves be elaborated in separate blog entries. But I don’t feel like writing. Sounds like reason number 4. No, its 2. Gotta go do the dentist today – predentodementophobia. But wait, can it be 5 or 3 or 10??? Surely its 1. Or is it? :-)
