My First Blog....

The whole Internet Community seems obsessed with blogs. Suddenly, everyone comes out with a page, albeit, packed with utter lack of sense and offering his viewpoint on topics ranging from as diverse as President Bush and his dog or Indias commendable performance at the 2004 Olympics :-)


I wanted to leave a mark on this space as well. After all, there is nothing more exciting than writing bullshit with the hope that someone at some remote corner of this world would take 5 minutes off and read this wannabe blogger's skills at wasting time. The fact that I do so during Office hours at Office expense using the Office Internet and Computer makes this more exciting. If Internet Time was expensive, surely you would never had the opportunity (ok-ok : You may call this misfortune) to read my first blog.


Now, as I write, I start to wonder why is a blog called a blog. Or for that matter, what exactly is a blog? Well Google has made life simple... Now I understand that it is a condensed version of weblog and that it is to be written in a reverse chnrological order. Good, atleast I know what I am writing now. So, this is nothing but offering your thoughts to others for free and having a feel that by doing so you become famous. Having never been in the habit of maintaining a diary or a personal memoir, I am almost certain that my laziness would never allow me to type more than 10 blogs during this blog-lifecycle. So be it. I have to write nonsense and have already filled up one page by the time I complete this sentence. Not bad for a new blogger.


I have never felt short of words when I had a pen in hand. I am a living example of how you can pass your exams with a clearcut aim of filling in sheets after sheets of matter not even remotely related to the question. My early days of bluff used to be in my 6th or 7th grades when I used to fill in pages after pages of matter for a series of questions that were refered to as "Answer with Reference to Context"... To say that I used to fill in "grime" between the first few and last lines of my answers would be an understatement. The art of nonsense was taken to near perfection during high school and paved a neat way to answer theoretical questions on Physics and Computer Science during Engineering. No wonder, some guys used to be confident that I lie when I say that I know nothing or that I bluffed through my exams. For them, exam grades to be an ultimate assessment of knowledge. Well, to me grades are an assessment of how well you can trick a moron into buying a donkey for a horse.


I am already getting bored of this blog-stuff and it seems that my limit of 10 blogs would be too much a count for me to observe. This might as well be my last blog. Sure enough, I imagine many frowning faces suddenly heaving sighs of relief. Yes of course, I relieve you of the mental trauma of reading this crap. Maybe if U pray louder, my boredom would linger and you may never hear anymore from me......
