the last time i blogged

the last time i posted a blog was about 6 months back... the day i created the account i posted an intro on it in a style that i then congratulated myself upon, but which like so many of the things in life you initially congratulate yourself upon, was to become an embarassment in no time...


the exact draft of that first post i enclose at the end of this post.


after that post i wanted to make my 'proper' first post really special.... particularly on matters involving creativity, the more you think about something the worse it turns out. sometimes it is better to just go with the flow...

i learnt it the hard way after writing two separate drafts, one on childhood embarrassments and another oh-so-funny-exclusively-to-the-author spoof of a scientific article which if i remember right was titled:"Reflections on promising methods to counter the genuine threat of Homo-sapien induced Climate Change"...or some such thing anyway..and including an idea to email hot gases from earth to mars so it would also serve the second purpose of warming mars, and another to argue for amendments to the law of thermodynamics in the international court of justice... naturally neither of these ever saw the light of day..and thankfully on my second reading of these unfinished accounts i saw them for the leave-alone-special-not-even-remotely-good stuff they were.. and avoided further embarrassment.

further embarrassment because i had already received a most gracious 'duh' as my first comment ...for the intro...sometimes one begins to doubt the impartiality of the widely acknowledged streak of sadism in life. and that is perhaps why 'why me?' is the third most often asked question in the world after "huh?" and "why not her?".note: 'why not him?' comes only a lowly eighth.

oh yes, for some strange reason whatever drives life on this planet has an annoying fondness for sadism. no these aren't the ramblings of a pessimist. it is ,if Michael Crichton is to be believed, scientifically established that if you play a gambling game where you win on heads and lose on tails you will invariably lose more times win. (don't ask me how....... yea it doesn't make sense but does life, for that matter?)

anyway now you know what a blog looks like when the blogger himself had no idea he was gonna blog until he actually started.

yours not-always-but-currently-pessimistically

jd aka 10GB aka dinesh jayaraman

(i am afraid, after looking back at that intro i am forced to conclude that maybe the 'duh' was deserved..... and i won't keep my promise of producing the exact draft... yea it was that bad alrite.)

first post(modified to prevent excessive embarrassment)

hell, i did actually produce the original anyway.. the idea being whatever i write now is probably gonna look like trash tomorrow anyway so what's the point.....when all it takes is a froody novel to mess up your writing style!
