Not that I'm not used to these graveyard shifts, but off lately haven't seen the clock hands in this position. Trust me, the last thing you would want your employer to remember about you is that you are a drowsy dullard. And I definitely can't afford that within my first six months, at least. I've been in this situation when my exam invigilator had to wake me up during my engineering first year exam. FYI, it was Engineering Drawing. Now, you tell me, what would you have done when you had to appear for and exam at 9 in the morning after your sisters wedding at 3 in the night? A typical Indian marriage,toil for a week before and after, brother of the bride- the last person to receive but first to render services would be phrases i would pick to defend myself. Well, luckily for me , that was the last exam and had a great time with the marriage crowd later. But couldn't avoid the lecturer giving me sly looks now and then during my four years.

35 blog views in a single day. I'm not much of this numbers man but,I would definitely consider that as a above average performance on my behalf. There were compliments, comments and suggestions flowing in from all directions asking me to do this..don't do that, try this and stuff. I'm really glad that I've got some friends to give me honest feedback. Many said that what i wrote was too good for a first timer and were expecting more like this. Now, this really increases my responsibility in the form of expectations which i am starting to enjoy. Ideas about what to write in my next article have been swarming in my mind all the time. I don't know if you can use the term 'adrenaline rush' for this, but if you can, I'd like to use it. All through the weekend i was rattling my brain for the next article, what to write? I was literally framing my sentences in my mind, erasing them, replacing them. Literally i was running a MS Word editor in my mind. I'm also glad that people could see a different 'me'. This blogger 'me' was always shadowed by the lazy 'me'. It's payback time and revenge, my friends, is a bitch. In McDonald's way 'I'm Loving It!!!'
I was thinking why didn't I take up writing earlier? I feel like i have a lot to write. Hopefully this josh continues all through my blogging episode.

Comments? Thoughts? Questions?

P.S: Thanks to all who have had the courage of reading through my blog and post your comments.

Who?...What?...and Why?

Who?
Me. As simple as it can get. ME. Not you. But ME.

What?
Blog. (read : a medley of my arbit musings). For all those who are familiar with the Harry Potter terminology, this is a sort of my 'pensieve'.A small window to my triumph, ecstasies, glum, mood swings, observations, experiences and what not. Wholly said...a bit of this..a bit of that.

Why?
Unfortunately, this small question cannot be answered as simple as that. Or can I? May be now is the time to mention that my blog's url is idlebrat and title is devil's workshop. You might have got an idea by putting the pieces together. Yes, you are thinking on the right lines. I'm just having some free time after my mundane chores and thought this blogging would help overcome the boredom. When your fourth grade teacher was talking about an idle brat's mind would be devils' workshop, this blog is exactly what she was talking about.

Not convinced? Well here's a more logical explanation of Why?
Ever heard of 'quarter life crisis'?. You know you are in it when you are done achieving a Master's degree working for some xyz company in the so called 'abroad' staying all alone, having nothing to plan but the week ahead's grocery list. Its been sometime since I've been diagnosed with QLC. Not to worry. Not a serious problem. This QLC is prevalent in the men and women of age 20+ and below 30.The only cure that research could identify for this is 'just don't have any free time'. I have prescribed myself the medication of hosting a blog and exterminating the 'plague' out of my system.

On the bright side, I can see my urge to show the world how i feel about things. How i see things. How i like to do things. How i hate some movies. A sincere attempt to bring MYSELF out. Don't be alarmed that this guy is damaged beyond repair. I am very much sane and I think logical. (Is what i feel)

It's been sometime since I wished to write a blog. But to get over my inherent inertia and get lazy ME to work? It takes some effort. Not to mention sandy’s influence to start up something like this. I guess he himself does not know this. Coz I’ve never talked to him about this. But, how could I let go off the untold ‘competitive’ bond between us. In school we always used to compete for our ranks and always ended up with adjacent ranks. If I win the race one time, It was him the next time. This time he has taken the lead in the blog episode. Here you go my friend, the race is on.

There, I've answered my questions correctly. Hope all you chaps have a great weekend even after reading this.
