Guilt. Yeah, that's the first thing that came to my head, when I finally started typing. For having neglected it for so long. Or for not making good use of the "Delete Blog" option and freeing some amount of cyberspace for others. I know its free, but that's still no excuse for wasting some good cyberspace....
Well, it was just around the summer break last year that I had first tried my hand at blogging, inspired no doubt, from the complete lack of any other interesting or engaging activity. I remember that I had assumed that as it had only been a year in college, that is why I did not have any stuff to do at home. I had also assumed that from the next year onwards, I would be somewhat engaged in something or the other, maybe a project or a training, or for that matter, even a vacation trip somewhere. Well, second year's gone, but things have not much improved, atleast for me, because I still am sitting at my home, bored to death, without anything to do. My daily routine consists of sleeping, movies, books and internet. Too much monotonous, even for my liking. I need a break. Well, could have got one too, with so many trainings and VTs and projects that everyone's invovled in, it's really difficult not to have landed up with something. But, again, I had underestimated my own penchant for procastination. I had started diging up stuff on summer trainings and project opportunities long back in December last year, and had collected quite a few stuff on trainings and fellowships offered to engineering students. But the folder named "Summer trainings and projects" still shows a last modified/accessed date of 24th January,2010. That's the time around which I started losing my enthusiasm and interest in all that, and by the time the applications came out and the deadlines arrived, my enthusiasm had gone down to such "abyss"-mic levels that I did not bother to apply for most of them, and when I finally did, it was either after the deadlines, or after all the seats were occupied, or the concerned authorities were no longer interested in entertaining any such applications. So, apparently, I have convicted myself, to another summer of nothing but utter boredom, tempered by occasional relief provided by the internet, and the 160 GB hard disk which I have crammed with as many movies and books and music as I could get my hands on. So, probably, I'll be posting a few stuff here and there on my blog now, now that I have nothing better to do. Having nothin better to do, I've finally decided on a month-long trip to Delhi- Chandigarh. I certainly hope that if nothing else, it will help me with a few posts on this almost-defunct blog.

Does it have to start with something??

I definitely have got no inkling as to what prompted me to commit such blasphemy- yeah, I am talking about me publishing a blog in English…. 
I still don’t have the slightest idea regarding what all rubbish I would be able to cook up, so that I can assuage my misplaced and misguided ego….Yup, I am referring to the one which keeps telling me, “Go on, write something….”

And last but in no way the least, I am writing this because I hate to see this place lying barren and empty for so long…. Believe it or not, this blog was created around a year back…and somehow, the lazy-bum of an “author” decides to inaugurate it after such a long time, and that too, with a complete pile of crap (you really should have believed it when you saw the url)….

So, all those who mistakenly or forcibly ( I guess that will be the only category :P) happen to be reading this post, please spare a moment to pray for the success of this endeavor of mine….(and then spend every day praying that the earlier prayer gets answered) …. Oh, and by success, I mean to say that at least half of my posts should be readable and understandable by people who have been forced to read them (I know nobody’s going to read it otherwise)….

So sit back,

relax…

And keep hoping that I do not pester you to become a follower…  :p
