Hitchhiker's guide to blogging...After contemplating for a long time, I finally hit on a topic which could create some sensation, make people writhe in their chair, a lil bit of controversy and a wee bit of negative publicity. Hmmm....sounds like Emran Hashmi's next film :P Well, I was thinking that I hadn't been blogging for a long time, and was wondering, even if I post something now, would people know that I am back? :-/ So what would I do to make people know that am back in the circuit? Visit their blogs again. simple. So that's why I visit their blogs huh? May be, may be not! I might want to check how many of them actually missed me...okay that would be pushing it too far :D Well, that's still not a desperate situation as I just have to go knock a couple of friends' door and tell them 'yellow! i'm still alive!'. But what about those that are new to blogger?Hmmm....what would they do? What did I do? What did you do?Let's see what Kupps....friend of Senor Subbu did Over to Kupps! Wait...for those who dont know Kupps...he's just an imaginary character...a new bee...a figment or Subbu's imagination :) Now proceed! 2 weeks...I am running around with this idea for a brilliant, ground breaking, earth shattering post...Boy I need at least 10 comments for that. How do I do that? Well ask that idiot friend of mine who asked me to start blogging in the first place to read what I posted. Then comment. Then after having hi the refresh key every 2 minutes after posting, I see a comment, easy....don't pounce on it right away. Let it be, we don't want to appear desperate do we? Let there be some time interval of at least 5 minutes. Go get a coffee until then. tick tock tick tock tick tock....Okaaaaay it's 5 minutes!!! :D ....Reply the comment. And wait.Get back to repetitive refresh every now and then. Hey that bugger hasn't posted a reply for the reply that i posted for his comment. Ping that moron again. ask him to reply. Moron says go visit other people's blog. Appreciate the crap they have posted. They'll drop in if they're a courteous bunch. If they don't, never mind, they are either too mean or committed! Okay....advice taken. Here I go...What's up first...alright, last updated...1 month back. useless.next one; female, 23, SINGLE...my lucky stars!!!!!!But wait, not much of a writer...in fact she sucks! But what the hell, SINGLE!!!...So here goes a 'first time here...nice post blah blah blah'. Okay now who's on her blog roll...Aarggghh!...not many chics in this one. Okay then lemme check out some dude's blog. That's sure to have a lotta chics blogrolled :D Well so which one of these dudes got a stylishly short name...aah...right there...Wow...this guy's like that tom cat server full of mp3s in the office....his blogroll's full of chics...Dude...you are my guru. I'd better be good friends with him; you always need a wingman you see. Lemme call him guru/boss/thalaiva right away. That's sure to get a lotta attention. Now ladies....here I come. :) Day 2 - Wowee powee... got 10 comments already. Now if I reply them, I can make it 20 comments!!!!But don't reply them today. Take 2 days time to do that, else again you risk looking desperate. in the meantime keep checking out these blogs. But 20 comments for a first post...WOW!I sure am doing good :D Day 3 - Wow....i already got material for my next post...But wait. Keep the interval between 2 posts at least 5 days...you don't want people to know you are jobless, do ya?! And make sure i score my browny points with that guru and not to mention drop by all the chics blog with a mokka comment whether or not there's a new post :) From then on Kupps has been on a roll....almost unstoppable. He got tagged, twice by 'chics'...he started a blog union; open mostly to 'chics' or if you were a guy that blog rolled more chics :P ....he scored a 100 in comments within the first month...and slowly he extended his conquest to orkut and in some cases to the chics' inbox too...Kupps had arrived ;) P.P.S: All these guides and classroom sessions makin it look like one huge university...yawn...but, what the hell :P Song on: Chak de phattey; Khosla ka ghosla Mood: Wicked ;)
  Gourmet!
 Okay….I am back….after quite sometime now Too busy to think of what to write, too lazy to type it out But something I read this morning had me thinking, Am I like this? The women being picky eaters thingy, that’s what I am talking about Susie Derkins autopsies her sandwich and eats the ingredients one by one Sally from Harry met sally allegedly takes half an hour to order a sandwich All these had me thinking; Hey, isn’t that normal, isn’t that what most people do? My friends feel otherwise Apparently, there aren’t many who 1. Rip a chicken burger apart and remove the faintest trace of onion and leave minimum lettuce behind to chew on 2. Order a fruit salad to the bewildered vendor without pineapple (yummy, but too much heat), Papaya (hate that fruit!), apples (they’re never fresh) and sometimes melons (too many seeds!). That leaves out just a banana. I bet the guy thought why not handover that (A)kela to this lady without bothering to chop it and put it in a bowl! 3. Glass of milk at night. Normal. No sugar please. Not normal (!!!). And real good if milk is not boiled (raw?!). Need professional help!!!!!! 4. Love lemon chicken. But none of that chef’s special lemon sauce on it please! (would you rather gobble up Mac D’s mcnuggets?!) 5. Pizza for lunch, with extra cheese. But strictly coke zero only. Duh! 6. None of that red chutney inside my crispy masala dosa please! I’m a Tam and I eat like one :P 7. Don’t need no ketchup as side dish for my burger, pizza etc. 8. Can’t stand anything coconutty, but can kill for a spicy chutney, that tendor coconut dessert and the wily intoxicating thenga paal and aappam (do they put coconut in that yummy crab masala?) 9. Rough edged, freshly baked bread sandwiches from upper crust which apparently could give a bleeding mouth to otherwise normal humans (hello!...eat healthy!) 10. Don’t eat no raw onions. Bad Breath has never been in. What? You said garlic flavoured cashews, Onion-tomato-chilly-garlic chutney, Walker’s Cheese onion and Lays American cheese onion stink just as much? How can they? I love them all! P.S: what? Title doesn’t fit?...the hell it doesn’t! only someone who has tried every flavour knows which needs to be left out and which should never be missed! :P Song On: Bombay Rockers’ Sajna Ve Mood: Funny :)
