A load of crap from an idle brain

what happens, after a while i keep coming back to this theme.  Any other theme just manages to drop whatever little traffic that comes to this blog.  Not to mention the code that tracks the analytics is embedded in it.

And am damn lazy to port the code over to the new theme.  Yawn.

Playing around with the look of my blog.  That’s what you do when you have nothing better to do.  

Deccan Chargers crashed out of the T20 Champions Trophy and i hardly watched even a single match of the tournament.  Ended up wondering why the hell are they playing.  Read some news that the TRPs of the T20 Champions Trophy are worse than the other Champions Trophy played recently in South Africa.

With so many Champions Trophies in a single sport, no wonder the people are disinterested.  Read Pritish Nandy’s tweet where he predicted that cricket is on a decline as a sport as money has corrupted it.  But then, the self professed God of cricket, Lalit Modi has some other plans.  He plans to have 2 IPLs in a year, 3 Champs leagues, 4 world cups and if possible a few more matches here and there.   Not that i care.  Fortunately for me, once i left India, i left the craze for cricket behind too.  Earlier used to subscribe to sports channels to watch them.  Now, even with tons of websites doing free streaming of all TV channels, i still dont bother watching them.

With Diwali around, 3 big movies are releasing in Hindi.  I might finally drag my sorry ass to some multiplex and watch one of them.  Which one of them is something that will depend on my mood at that particular moment.

Mr & Mrs Khanna surely wont be the one i will spend my money on.  Who in the right frame of mind wants to see 2 constipated faces (Salman and Sohail) on the screen after having paid so much money?

With  the help of the great guys at Just host, i managed to migrate over all the data from my wordpress blog to this new domain. There are a few duplicates here and there and also the blogroll hasnt been updated.  Am in the process of fixing up all the small niggles.

Your advise, words of encouragement, criticism is very much appreciated as i start off this new journey.  Plan to write more on my investments, politics, economy, integrate all my pictures and much much more.  More importantly, i plan to segregate all of them well so that someone looking for information on this blog doesnt need to crack his head.

Thanks for dropping by. Much appreciated.

This blog completes 1 year today

The number of views and posts have been beyond my wild imagination.  Am already reaching 400,000 (4 lakh) hits soon.  I do see that the frequency of posts have gone down post marriage.  I do agree that there is a very beautiful distraction in my life now, but i have no intentions of abandoning this very precious obsession of mine.

As we approach the 61st year of independence, its time to highlight some of the achievements and the things that make India that it is. Hope to put up more articles on the hidden gems that prop up the country inspite of the bad news all around.

Thanks for reading and all the support this past one year.  Made some great friends on the net through this blog.  Hoping for a continuation of this incredible journey.

A million thanks

I realise that the frequency of the posts have gone down a bit. Its more to do with studying for some exams and work related stuff. And of course, there is something very important in my life coming up soon. So, ya i do spend some time dreaming and talking to my fiance. But trust me, i will keep blogging no matter what. Its the only outlet i have to vent out my happiness, sorrows, frustrations etc.
