when stomach calls, use your discman

its truly wierd where your calling comes from. it could be from the job portals, it could be from the husband spouse, it could be from w-h-e-r-e-v-e-r!

There's a calling that can put one under tremendous duress. Yes, Nature also, but this not about nature's call, its about the stomach. What a trouble the human (or animal) has to undergo when this type of calling ensues.

I remember, I had just returned after a 7km run (the additional 5 km because of the street dog which didn't leave me at all!), and as soon as i rushed home, i just felt like eating the next person i meet! A part of my shoes got bitten. (the socks tasted yuck, i tell you). I actually considered the chair i was sitting on.

It was at this prime moment of search that my eyes fell on the Cadbury's 5 Star Crunchy, which the neighbours kid was munching. he's 3 years old. My eyes didn't see anything else. I had to lure him into him voluntarily giving me the delicacy (the bruises of the last time, when i snatched the lollipop he was sucking, reminded me to be gentle).

I showed my discman (my running partner) to the kid. He saw and saw and saw. He kept seeing the same. I told him, it sings. He wanted to listen.

And that was the deal!

Thats how the discman saved my stomach.

why am i here?

virtually, i loitered around. hopped from blog to blog. checked my mail – again and again. read all the forwards. read some of the autogenerated mails. read all my subscriptions in google reader. saw all the interestingness flickr had to offer. and was still left with 3 more hours of value to be added.

at one particular point in time, i realized, its important that i have my own blog in wordpress, a result of which, you are able to utilize kill your time more cleverly. the selling feature was

a. categorized posts,

b. classic blue and white templates (the three columned one lured me)

i personally feel its very important to allow a man his indulgences. be it at workplace, home, bed room, saloon, the rest room, bus stand, bus, cubicle, and among other words that describe the 'space' paradigm, his blog
