Went to attend the 50th marriage anniversary celebration of Nakdeb and Dida . Had a very nice time there with all family .

12 hours office duty today .... really feeling THANK GOD IT IS FRIDAY ... day was usual .. nothing much to mention , watched the movie MEN IN BLACK 2 on  TV after coming home .. played a little chess over the net .
Received the book sent to me by my friend Tate ... I love it , and I am thrilled .

Will try to drag the night as long as possible .

Most of the middle class and the upper middle class are weak at heart and too preoccupied with the task of keeping up their VANITY , thus ending up by turning simple things (e.g. 1+1 = 2) into complex problems (e.g. E=mc^2).

They are just too worried about  :

what other people will think  .... and

what will happen if they lose their job ,
or things like MONEY , how to amass more and more  , always egged on by a persistent sense of insecurity .

and a lot of other such meaningless things ..

Combined with the other bonds of family life , this changes their life in a way similar to a vegetable existence or at most a leashed animal .

Mind it I am not saying that this is true for all , I said MOST ...... because I am a hardcore believer of exceptions and I know that there are exceptions in this case too , but sometimes even the exceptions get converted into a normalized form by too much of external influence .

No wonder that so many revolutionaries in the fields of science , culture , adventure etc ... come from the extremities of the society ... i.e. either very rich or very poor  ..... as for the middle class .. well , they are .... once again I will say ..... mostly spectators . 

Today was a holiday due to election .... stayed at home .. went for a long walk in the evening .. 10 Kms , rest of the day till now went as usual and now ... time to go to bed .

Took a deliberate break from blogging for the last few days .. or shall I say that I am confused whether what I call 'deliberately taking a break' , 
                            is actually UNWILLINGNESS , A by-product of
                         Mumbai Blues and Lethargy


ANYWAYS  I am back to normal life again . The short trip to Mumbai to meet my sweetheart went lovely  , only that it was too short ... the longing increases with every visit .


Not been writing anything for quite sometime now .. though I got a lot of iDeAS trying to make their way onto the paper via the mind > pen > paper route ... 


No headache attacks for sometime now .... only very light ..once..few days back


Will probably be going to UK for work purposes ... or better to say .. HAVE to go .. because I  , personally , am unwilling .

The best day that I have had in a very long long time  ..... I just cannot get enough of it . 

9 hours 30 minutes

Fire and Ice .... oh yeah !!

Very busy day at office today .. no headache attacks ..went to attend Pikon's marriage reception . Only one more day to go .... feeling the latent excitement rising .. long weekend coming up with Friday being a holiday (Good Friday) and then Saturday and Sunday . Enjoy folks .. and Happy Easter .

Been suffering  from headache on and off since last few days , got some headache pills today . Had a good dinner today of rice , dal , tomato mustard and onion curry , potato and couscous curry , and fish  , talked a long time with mom after that .. now I am off to sleep :)

A three day long weekend coming to a close .. suffering from headache since evening ...eagerly waiting for next weekend .

----------------

Big updates coming up ..!!

I am a hypocrite .... 

Just an usual Tuesday .... hardly noticeable among the crowd of other Tuesdays and weekdays in general .. .

Something strange is going on .... I am sure ... because , for the first time in a very very long time , I did not have the Monday morning blues today ... not to mention the fact the fact that for a brief interval of time yesterday .. I remember me of almost looking forward to go to office ..very fishy ..
I am on high alert ... :) :) !!!!

It is becoming hot here ... the summer is turning up the heat .. Yesterday I said about not feeling like staying up late and feeling tired ... strange it may sound , I think this sudden change of temperature and the climate is the reason for that .. if that is so , then I will be all right soon .. !!

Another Saturday night . Strangely , since the last two weekends , I am not feeling like staying up late .. I wonder why .. I have also not been feeling like drawing cartoons for quite some time ....I am also going through a partial writers block .. so many ideas in my head but the flow of writing dries out after few lines or paragraphs ..

There is a continual restless felling that I have running in the back of my mid always .. as if time is running out very fast and I am not doing what I am supposed to .. and I have a suspicion that it is this undercurrent of thought that is causing unrest in my mind .. there is also another feeling which comes whenever I plan to start something new on weekends .. that feeling makes me think WHATS THE USE .. I AM AGAIN GOING TO GET BACK TO MY REAL LIFE FROM MONDAY ... and this drowns my enthusiasm .. 

Seems rather grim ... no wonder .. Well , here is something positive ... at least I know what is causing the problem ... all I have to do now is fight against it and win.

That is what I am doing and I .... WILL .....WIN !!!!

Another fine friday night .. had the mukhebhat ceremony for my niece today ... and I also found El finally ... !!

This is the 100th post .... OH YEAH .... !!!!

Completed one hundred posts today .... feels great that I have been able to maintain this regularity .
I am eagerly waiting for 22nd when I will be able to meet my sweetheart again .

The vanity of a misguided lot can be infectious if someone without the infection is rubbing shoulders with them 60x60x24x7x4.5x12x Current age and going ..

Got to be careful !!

This is my 98th post .. nearing 100 ..today was busy .. got some new ideas but I am not able to put them down properly in paper ..on thing is sure , when I am done with this one .. this is going to be a masterpiece .. well at least for now I would like to think so .. got some ideas for cartoons , will be drawing them this weekend ...
When I have completed 100 posts , I plan to read through  all of them once again from the start .. see if there is any pattern emerging from it ....if not , at least I am sure that my old posts will make for very good reading .

Heavy storm and rain here today .. I got drenched .. on purpose . Weather is very nice ..
It has been quite sometime since I drew any cartoons .. and I have been getting comments that my blog is becoming boring .. well .. and optimistic thought would be .. it indicates that it was interesting before .. ha ha . Jokes apart , the point is , yes I know it is becoming boring .. but strange thing is .. most of the people will stop after saying boring .. some , a few will go ahead and ask Why are you not drawing .. and even fewer will proceed further and say Draw .. you should draw ... well , when self inspiration is running low .. then therein lies the inspiration .. I am yet to get such .. for my cartoons and I doubt if I will ever get it .. any way , doesn't matter , I will soon be back to drawing .. self motivated .. my head is already full of ideas .... FOLKS .. GET READY FOR A BURST OF COLORS !!!!

A storm has picked up here .. and of-course that makes me happy ... it is at least partially balancing the sadness of another weekend coming to a close .

India won the cricket world cup final against Sri Lanka today after 21 years ... feeling very happy....oh yeah ....!!!!

FRIDAY FRIDAY FRIDAY ....!!!!
