R.I.P good ol' blog

Its been a long time since I came here. Long time since I wrote something. Life's been a roller coaster so far. Have had my share of fun n frolic. Have had some sad n sorrowful moments. As Tupac Amaru Shakur prophetically wrote one of his great songs "Life goes on.."

I will not be blogging here anymore. The blogosphere doesnt exactly know me that much. So I wont be missed. But some of the rhymes & reasons in this blog will live forever. These pages will remain etched in history as the playground of an angry young lad who took to rap as much as raagas. This blog started with lot of controversy, and had its brushes with popularity. Most of the time, I wrote about rap, music, life, Chennai, politics & more. Things have changed.

I now work as a software professional (cough! ..slave.. cough!) in the IT industry, the ever booming, ever famous and hallmark of India's growing prowess. Or so they say.

Looking back at some of these posts, lot of them were in jest. Most of the views were from the distorted eyes of a young adult. The coming of age of an confused, slightly angry, rebellious, shy young boy. You may think how one guy could be all of the above, but hey.. I'm living proof.

I will miss this blog more than anyone else who visits here. My visitors were mainly from search engines, so I know I dont have a bunch of blogger friends who form clubs & act like hippies & try to enforce opinions & gang up on the weak writers and...wait a minute.. Where was I?

Oh yeah, I surely will miss this adventure that I started during my college days. When bloggin was fundoo or funda.. or watever it is you want to call "hip" in India. Before I finish my last lines here, I just wanted to share a weird dream. The audacity of hope! I had a dream that "One day, I would step foot in the US to study, when President Obama has 90% approval ratings & everyone was going crazy about it". Seems like big thinking huh?

Anyways, I retire this blog into the dark pages of history. When you read up on it, it will amaze you about the power of words & the thinking of the proverbial "angry young man".

Life will go on.....

Snooooooozze

I know I haven't blogged in a while. I've been getting used to the new city, new environment, new career and stuff. For the uninformed, I'm now living out of Mysore, started working a.k.a moving on in life. You know, the usual.

So, working in an IT company really doesnt give you much time you know. Heck, I don't even find time to wash my clothes. But then, it does help when you have a laundromat right at work, itin't it (aaah..been missing Ali G for a while, boooyaakasha!)

I dont know why I should blog now. It was an escape route when I was in college. To get away from all the madness around me. I guess its still an escape route. The context has changed. I need to escape from all the madness at work now. But its so far, so good. I wont be surprised if I'm being monitored when I post this. If so, "Boss, I didnt do anything wrong!".

Finally, I live with 5 people in a house. Room-sharing (not to be misinterpreted) is an amazing experience, that every person must go through in life. The fun & fights that you encounter are one of a kind. The late-night chats, hanging around in the bus & discussing how to kill time during the weekend are some of the best moments you share with roommates. Besides that, the fight over bathrooms, someone hanging clothes to dry on the curtain & disagreements on paying the food bill during eat-outs are more of the forgettable ones.

And of course, the trials and tribulations of working in the IT industry.
