Dham Dham Dhadam Dhadaiyya re...

We know, we know, we already reviewed Omkara in the previous blog.

But we are happy to be here and celebrating with music (hence all the dham dham dhadam...) on our 200th post. When we started with some random musings, we neither expected to be writing for this long, nor this coherently. Read the 1st one and you will see why I think this is coherent!

We have made some excellent friends from the blogosphere - in some cases, the friendships exist beyond just blogging. Some fellow bloggers are sage-like counsellors in our life. We have met some interesting people. We have met chicks, yesss! We have fallen in love with some and fallen out with others. We have been holding our stomachs reading some. We have been reading some with tears in our eyes. We have read some, wondering "What the f*&#?!" We have written about running, books, movies, quizzes and some other things which interest us.

Basically, it has repeated most of how our life goes! We write mostly since we feel like writing somewhere and talking less. And that has helped improve our writing skills. The mind gets a lot better when you put pen to paper. Sometimes, we actually write some blogs on tissues at coffee bars, blank areas of newspapers, etc before we type them out. Some we just type out since we have an idea of what all we want to convey.

Now we actually tell people "Go read our blog" when they ask us what we think of something.

Like Feyman said, "What do you care what other people think?"

And its been great fun. Thanks to readers who have read us and are reading this. Welcome to others who are here for the first time.

Btw, the celebrations commenced with a new baby in the family - Philip Roth's The Plot Against America. Promised to be a nice read.

i think it may be time for the blogging world as such to seek out some creativity. and no i'm not talking about the posts for that is simply too much to expect. i think a good start would be just the blog titles, and once people have worked through that (which should take a while) they could maybe add some iota of individuality to their blog description.

i am saturated with blogs full of random musings or outpourings of demented minds. why do so many people fancy themselves as unhinged? is it because in real life they walk the thin line?

Oh BTW, on a wholly unrelated topic.

CONGRATULATIONS!!
