RSSified Interview
On Sunday last, Kribs, Narayan, Vinesh and myself were interviewed by The Hindu on blogs and blogging.
The entire interview, which lasted about 2 hours, with all of us reeling off quotes by the dozen has been condensed and shrunk to less than half a page of news. The Hindu must have discovered RSS technology long before us bloggers did.
Another strange phenomenon is that of the missing/disappearing photographs. I vaguely remember flashbulbs going off in my face, and a photographer dude who hung about for the first half hour of the interview. Except, there aren’t any photographs. Oh well. Such is life.

Blog Discoveries
Here I go again! My vanity and a bloated sense of my own importance has driven me to write about other so called new blogs I come across.
Is there no curing me?
Well, now that we have the statutory rambling behind us, let’s get down to business. Some new blogs I want to talk about.
Uninteresting, moody, irrelevant post. Don’t!
Madras is witness to two types of Rainfall. One is the short, heavy burst. Raging, powerful, but brief. The whole spell lasts no longer than 30 minutes at the most. While brief, it is pungent. Raindrops slash you, piercing the thick hide of dust and grime that collects on you. To hit your very soul.
Then there is the nagging, slow, soft, but persistent rain. The kind that begins slow and hesitant. Like a young maiden. Gaining confidence in itself to grow up. But modest. The kind of rain that threatens to blow over the next minute. But hanging on. Like a loose tooth that doesn’t fall off. Always there, nagging at you.
Yes! Yes! SSS!! More. Give it to me!
It feels good to be back. After experiencing withdrawal symptoms and suffering slight headaches and nausea, I’m back to blogging. And does it feel good. My eyes sparkle, am a little more active as I propel my chair between cubicles, and I’m getting back the hang of typing with three fingers and one thumb.
Thanks MadMan, for all the help. You’ve definitely, in godfather speak, earned my undying gratitude. 
Slug Fest
A slug fest, between me and Ravikiran. My side of the story is now on at the Chicken Blog
Brilliant
Take a look at the new amazing design that Anil has come up with. One word. Brilliant.
What’s my problem?
| Doctor Unheimlich has diagnosed me with Ravagesosis | |
| Cause: | monkey bite |
| Symptoms: | excessive 80s haircut, warts, mild Hitler moustache |
| Cure: | take three vitamin C tablets and come back in the morning |
This, dear readers, is my problem.
I was hoping I could live another half a dozen years, without anybody knowing what my problem was. I was hoping for a quiet life, of solitude and reflection. Of peace.
Now, Ozg had to go and reveal it all. Oh woe!!
