Indulgence is bliss

Will she start..
Will she not ?
Will she start..
Will she not ?

Its a ridiculous mellifluous rhyme being met out to me by my dearest friend as she agonizes the waste of blog space.I just want to let her know I come by & for lack of words or lack of ideas I pass by too. Well my past effort really yielded zero output over the last several months, but if she keeps up that rhyme of hers...well I have little choice but to keep coming back here and keep the updates rolling.

The monsoon appears to have struck earlier this year relieving us of the dreaded burning heat of the summer. We've been indulging ourselves with huge cups of ginger chai and trying hard to avoid terribly calorific, hot & spicy fried pakoras. But, when is an Indian monsoon ever complete without the deathly kiss of the pakoras !

As the rain pitter-patters on my window & doesn't relent, my mind tells me to stay put & watch the rain pass by while the other me wants to savor the rains with...hmmm...And so we indulge again. Indulgence is bliss !

Liken them to bra burning feminists or chaddi-chors ? Call 'em whatchya may they're a combination of Munna's Gandhigiri & women-activists-gone-bonkers. I completely understand & even empathize with the intentions & inspiration of the "pink chaddi" movement but I just wish the ladies were represented by better spokeswomen on the media who can rebuke clowns from the moral brigade in kind.

What lady in her right mind(like me of course ;) ) wouldn't love to enjoy a chilled sweating mug of beer in a pub that plays the perfect music on hot evening ...like today !

Sometimes its so much more easier to just drop things the way they are when they come to a dead halt and start afresh. Like this classic example of my blog. The internet does offer the luxury of anonymity despite the advantage of shrinking the world into a lil' window ! But...I'd rather pick up this thread where I left it off & accept the challenge of being a little more regular & even disciplined and keep jotting 'em gazillion thoughts !

A year's a long long time. The world's essentially changed all around us with the global financial crisis, the US electing the first-ever African American president, the Chinese quake, the summer Olympics and how can I not include the profligate Mr.Raju. Beyond this worldly wisdom, we have the Doc surging to new highs & a soon-to-be-married kid sister, whirlwind trips to roads less traveled by yours truly, happily pregnant friends, new mommies with their very cute lil' ones & of course some interesting developments at work. Like I said, picking up the threads, has definitely more meaning plus in the case of this poor abandoned blog space, has definitely tons of more meat in it!
