V for Vendetta

I am not going to write too much in this post. If you understand what I am saying, good. If you don't, then watch the movie V for Vendetta.

I am not hinting at anything here. It was what you can call a random thought when I read this in the newspaper. What if what they show in the movie is happening right now? Not in the exact sense, but in the way and the reason information is disseminated.

(This is, of course, not the 'newspaper' I read it in!)

Life as I don't think it?

As and when I get time (read as and when I take it out :-P), I will keep adding some gadgets to my blog. There is a nice gadget called 'Cheeky quotes' I found, but it didn't look too good on this template.

Anyway, so here's the deal. I had a nice long chat with one of my best friends last night after the blog entry. Besides of course the expected "Where the hell did all the posts go?", the chat steered to my 'thinking', of how I 'sometimes' think a little too much.

Does it ever happen to you that you think about one or more things so much that reality gets warped and the whole situation changes, but only in your head? And this contorted reality stays in your head for sometime, and kind of ruins situations and sometimes, worse still, relationships.

How do you get out of this? Does it happen to you often? Has it happened to you maybe once?

Or is it just me? (sigh)

Later then,

PS: My friend also suggested I update my blog everyday. No harm trying. :)

Life as I think it

If you have ever come here before, you'll probably notice a 'small' change. All the posts are gone. If it's any comfort, I have them all, complete with comments, in a safe place (read gmail inbox).

I don't remember the exact time I had started this blog, some people who know me will find that hard to believe as I am supposed to be a 'calendar'. I think it was some two years back, but well don't really remember. Might have been three. But I do remember that this was the original template I had chosen and this is what my blog was originally called -- Life as I think it.

I never treated this space as a blog, but rather as a place to keep my poems and other writings together. For some reason it was a safer place, open to the world to see, but there was comfort in the fact that not a lot in the 'world' would actually see it.

Coming back to the present changes. Well a lot is changing in life for me. And I decided it was time for this to change too. I have promised myself to update my blog at least once a week, and share with those who read what I think of life. I might not actually do it, but you always start with hope and sometimes a wish.

Some people will be shocked that I've done something so drastic. But if they know me well enough, they'll know that that's how I sometimes do things. It's not really for the 'shock value', but about beginning from a clean slate. You can't have that in life, but well there are some places, like this, where you can actually do it.

I have always 'blogged' using my real name, and will continue to do so. A lot of you might use the anonymity that the Internet offers while posting comments, but I'll request you to be brave enough to be true. I promise not to kill you if you say something offending, derogatory, or mean. Well I might delete your comment, but that's about it.

I love most of my previous posts and in the course of time, I will definitely post back my favourites. But for now I am going to leave you with this new one.

Cheers to new beginnings!

See you around,
