Three years and two days later….

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

…. the basic premise of this blog i.e., that I am no Superman, has not changed at all and as I mentioned then, you can still call me Superman-ian if you want to. What’s happened gradually these past few years is that this blog has become a part of my daily life, so much that my much lamented trait of forgetting birthdays has expanded to include this blog as well. Hence let me go ahead as usual and issue a note of belated (third) birthday greetings to this blog.

One more happening of note also went past unnoticed by me. This post is my 301st post. It was perhaps fitting that my 300th post was also the first one to be featured on Desipundit. This past year was eventful in a lot of respects, but I don’t think I am anywhere close to leaving my little cubbyhole in cyberspace.

Now, we turned three a couple of days ago. Apparently the time between the second and third birthday is called the terrible twos. I did not know that last year, but along those same lines, this coming year could be called the trashy threes. Now with 300 published posts, Blogger seems to hit some growing pangs. But that’s for another post for which some knowledgable minds would have to be consulted. So, at least till then, one shall continue churning out the trash that one so cleverly disguises as regular programming. All those of you who come here to get your fix of trash, do come back for more. And yah, for those of you who are wondering, that is *my* trash can.

    I think I love this trash more than other trash that trashes what it thinks is trash but is necessarily not trash unless its standard of trash is elevated at such a level that other trash that likely looks like trash is not seen as trash due to the bias of that trash.

    Thus Spake Visu :-)

    Thennavan: Had to read this description of trash thrice before I could come to a conclusion that the trash that you were trashing, might not exactly be my trash. Am I right about the trashed trash? LOL…

    Regularity and keeping it terse,would make the 4th year more enjoyable.

    Shobha: Thanks.. Modesty nahi tho, aur kya? One’s posts are read mostly by one’s self and few other jobless people and our posts do not add to web traffic in the form of email forwards. So my surmise that it is trash is true after all. But I still am proud, cos it is my trash and my trash smells better than anybody else’s.
    LOL.. I can almost hear you saying “Porume” with that typical Bombaiyya-Tam-Mallu accent. :D
    Shashi: Thanx dude…

    BB: It’s working now. I added the link and then republished the archives completely. I think that since I last published my archives completely, the filenames have become shorter. And the links on posts dont get updated. So once i linked and then republished the link got screwed up.

    Paru: Errr.. Thanks..I just used my rusty, but still good enough, ERC (Explain with Reference to Context) skills. I could not figure out what that is :D
    Harish: Thanx machi… Did you get the email i sent a couple of weeks ago?

    Arun: Thanx da!

    Hardu: To quote Yoda, “Every long journey, for, new beginning, there is”. I have gone just a short distance. But I intend to go a long way for sure.

    TF: I should think so. Have been seeing you around in the blogosphere for a long time now. Silent readers we were, for a long time, till the sight of rowdys running amok in the blogosphere, best exemplified by Alpha and her comments made me lose my innocence.

    Alpha: I am at present undertaking an experiment. Suitable answers for your caustic remarks shall be provided at the end of the experiment after the ubiquitous “LHS = RHS” and “Hence Proved”! But I promise to send you a few pounds of sugar and ghee, should that last line come true. Am I allowed to choose?

Get up, do stuff, come to work at 9, go home at 7, hit the gym for sometime and crash with Crash that Netflix should hopefully deliver this afternoon. And get up tomorrow and do the same thing (minus “Crash”). *whistles the opening bars of “Maya maya maya…Ellam maya.. chaaya chaaaya chaaya.. ellam chaaya”!
