I think that I think and I think why I think...


The lark's on the wing,
The snail's on the thorn,
God's in His heaven
All's right with the world...

Back to blogging after a long break - I was under the misapprehension that meaningful blogs necessitate eventful lives. However, being an engineer and an English teacher to boot, I have given up all pretense of having a social, let alone an eventful life. And the term 'meaningful blog' is an oxymoron. But blog I must and blog I will. As the incomparable Pu la says,

'Hya jagaat khoop mothe kirtankaar houn gele
Mhanun kaay hya Kadmadya Joshyanee kirtan karuch naye ki kaaay?'

Translation for non-Maharashtrians : "Learn how to speak Marathi."

Jay Maharashtra!
Jay Hind!!
Jay Jaykar!!!

(Edit: These comments were a supposed to be private joke directed at a non-Maharashtrian friend of mine. I've drawn a lot of flak for them. Taken in the light of recent events involving the Navnuksan Sena, they suggest that I'm a racist. Not true- I hate everybody equally.)


Ahhh, that felt good! Keeping up a pretense of sanity or reasonableness is tiring in the extreme. Paradoxically, I find myself becoming increasingly intolerant of intolerant people. A quarter-life crisis perhaps?

Is it a norm for bloggers to blog about blogging? :)

Mukul Hinge said...

I suppose not. But then, 'normal' is not an adjectve that people usually use to describe me...

प्रिया said...

I guess it is... Most blogs have at least one entry about 'blogging' :)
