Day 1 : Getting Started

Right at the get go, let me tell you that I have another blog up called An Irony Called Life where I post the usual short stories and stuff. So if you had somehow stumbled your way here expecting something like that - you might as well click here to go there.

Okay, now that we've got that out of the way. Let’s get to business.

Hi, my name is Prem. And this is my ledger. You know, like the ones they keep in a ship where the captain writes down stuff that’s happened during the day, highlighting major events or things that have some meaning to it, mostly just ramblings I suppose.

I don’t think this would be something as exciting as James Bond’s adventures or as tragic as Anne Frank’s. My life is really not all that eventful right now. But I plan on making some changes about that especially.

There was this one episode in a Indian talk show that I saw on YouTube the other day. Some lady asked Salman Khan, what advice he would give her husband so that he can sport six-pack abs like the actor. Sallu looked at the couple for a moment and said sneeringly, just give your husband permission to take off his shirt in public, he’d get them abs. His explanation was that you don’t really get to work on things unless your own ego/pride/shame is at stake. You won’t want to open up your shirt to the public and show your fleshy hairy guts to the masses. Well, that is if your name is not Seth Rogen. That guy seems to be abnormally proud about his flabs!

This blog is something towards that purpose. My way to murder the monotony.

I have to find something to write about in here on a daily basis, and that isn’t happening if stay cooped up in my comfort zone/computer room all day. I’ve got to do, see, say, think something each day to write about later. I have been putting off a lot of things for the past, I-don’t-know, two years (?). Things that most would consider prudent to lead a great life. I guess I got stuck in the inertia of it all.

It is just so comfortable to go on auto-pilot sometimes. Boring yes, but oh so easier. Screw easy now, I guess, who’s ever had much fun by living it easy.

For today, the times they are a-changin'.
