My public blog has been gathering dust for sometime now , and I realised it was about time I put in a fresh face, a fresh tale and obviously fresh illustrations to let people who give a damn know, how my life here in UK is going on…
But my basic problem, as is the root of all the incidents happening to and around me is my sheer laziness, I have this almost huge stock of pictures with me now ( just fitting within a dvd!! ) that the laziest of bums that I am , I am daunted just by the size of it and trying to pick out a single, interesting tale, unwoven with the rest [and thus free from choices… the scariest reality of my life] is a trying task. But alas, just like my bones, that refuse to do my bidding, so does my mind rot away in indecision.
But having time on my hands ; [and idle time that if allowed to fester can bring in the seeds of weeds unpleasant] I set upon this task with renewed fervour to - slowly , but efficiently craft the tale of my existence here, the land of … ( well too many things actually.)
So let me see, where did I leave the tale hanging the last time…
Ahh!! New Year 2008…
You see , I have sort of chronicled my life in a bare minimum kind of way, on my online photoalbum

but the space is slowly being eaten up, and not being a premium member (pay money for online usage, am I a self righteous Indian or no? :P )
there is a very valid reason for the discontinuation of the blog, for the abrupt disinclination to put forth more of my life here , but as is my clogged up self, I am not totally at liberty to express it out loud. And most of the pictures in those period of times did not really do much justice to the really wonderful place this is, and the opportunities that lie here, they were a reflection of the (oh here we go again … sigh) depression, and gloom that I experienced. But though I can justify the discontinuation at that stage , the picking up of the strand once things got brighter doesn’t have much explanation other than my old ally, laziness.
Things got really busy around end of May , till mid October, and I didn’t really get much thinking time, contemplating time , much less photo-editing time. The shutterbug did not cease , but most of the snaps remained dormant , waiting for the brush to bring them to light. I used no photoshop, to embellish the truth, my editing is always to cut away , that which is not part of the story.
The next big day (though I did not know it then) was the day we went to KFC; It was sometime in February is my guess. Obvious the day started off as any other day, but I do remember that there was a open job interview that I had to go to, I did urge the other guys to come, none of them did, (and one of them even boasted that he has gone to the same place before once and did not get the job ,though I knew this was the first time they were holding an interview in the first place, but I held my tongue and my peace.)
Events in the recent past had changed the situation slightly ( :D) and laidback though I was, some extra dough would have meant more than minimalisitic luxuries . (whatever that means!!)
Anywayz , I went to KFC, sponged my share of the chicken off the guys and took a bus to my rendezvous point. The interview wasn’t spectacular and I didn’t step out feeling either exhilarated or depressed, it was not even one in a series, but I reacted to it as if it was, like it was like the umpteenth number of interview that I had just attended. (attended?? Yeah guess so )
Though I do remember waiting in the bay for a friend to come down and give the interview a shot, she did come, very late and in a taxi (a luxury unacceptable , in my dictionary) but unfortunately she did not make it. Such things inexplicably make me sad, that I should get thru and someone I know wont. But I remember the chilly winds as I waited and the cake that I devoured as I waited.
cheers
have fun always
