To new beginnings

Ok. Let's ponder over this for a bit. Blogger since February 2005; all of three (3!) posts were written in February 2005. And all of zero (0!) posts since then. Hmmmm, I guess times flies.... You know, that's a pretty good excuse when you've been lazy. Well, at least I'm honest :) Sometimes, I'm too honest about my laziness, as if I'm very proud to be lazy. ... That's not a very good thing ... :) Don't worry, I'm not drunk. I'm just a little tired and too bored to go to sleep.

But seriously speaking, a lot has happened in the last year. The early part of last year was spent idling about the house and wasting my boredom on my PC. The most positive part of it was that I discovered a liking for writing. I even tried my hand at writing a short story (http://www.ndtv.com/ent/foodfictionstory.asp?id=824 & http://storymania.com/cgibin/sm2/smshowtitlebox.cgi?title=Stupidallicallidumbocious&category=shortstories&page=28). And it was fun, something I should be doing more of. Anyways, things really picked up in the latter half. For one, I got an internship, which kept me busy. I also realized that due to my idleness, I had landed myself in quite a terrible financial situation; I always had it at the back of my mind earlier but it was high time I did something about it. But apart from school work and the internship, I had a lot of fun and chilled out too (thanks to my friends :) ).

Hopefully, I won't be taking another year-long sabbatical after this post. I want to post more often on this blog. And I want to write more, even if it is about pointless things. People underestimate the pointless aspects of life. I'll elaborate in a later post.

Thought for the day : What lies before you and what lies behind you is nothing compared to what lies WITHIN you. Apparently, this is all it comes down to : finding what lies within you. It's something I must seriously think about. In fact, I have been thinking about it. I've come to such a point in life where I must take some decisions and work towards them. I should've encountered such a situation earlier. But oh well ... better late than never :) ... what lies within you .. it's a good thought ....
