When I write better than most people read...
Posted by Script Writer | Category [ Writing ]Comments (17) | Trackbacks (0)
More often than is generally considered sane, I saunter to the depths of the archives of this blog to read posts that are absolute gems (pre circa 2006). I am compelled to do it because of this inherent need to read material worthy of being read. That I do not find such stuff outside the confines of this blog probably means that I can write better than most people can read.
This is not one of those posts bashing bloggers everywhere, though I believe blogging has fallen so deep into an abyss of its own making that a further fall would actually translate into a rise. Bon Jovi once wrote in one of their songs, "I am so far away, each step that I take's on my way home..." A bunch of guys who possibly never ventured anywhere near a house of learning could understand that for such a thing to be possible the earth will have to be round. The song went on to become a huge hit, even among students of those schools in the US that do not teach the earth is round. Only tells us that sometimes it is more than welcome if students doze off during their classes as long as they are allowed to attend concerts.
I write this post with a roll of tissue literally attached to my nasal passageway, courtesy a very nasty cold brewing in my innards. Although no one really cares to know, I should like to state that leaving the nasal canal free of absorbents is causing unchecked localised precipitation of nasal mucus. This is indeed worrying. Partly because I am sharing highly personal information on the web. Mostly because the mucus is almost as clear as water.
Since I have already sung paeans of the wonders of nasal mucus, I shall desist from walking down this road. You know, the sheer number of roads that I have refused to walk down is simply bizarre. You could even say that the sum total of the distance I have refused to walk down is more than the average distance between the earth and the moon, which raises a very pertinent question. Why did the Apollo astronauts go to the moon? Wouldn't not walking down certain roads have been a better option? Cheaper, definitely.
PS: It is good to be back!

Back where?
You know, pre circa 2006... that date probably is what it is because of the fact that certain other people were here at that time. You just rose to greatness due to the... shall we say... influence(?) they had on you. Certain people will not be named. :D

So you cut your nose hair?

I like your penchant for detail. we would like a slide show next with close-up shots :).
BTW, I know people who use knives to clean their ears. too well, actually.

Aran, shall we say subtlety is not your forte?
konidella siva sankara vara prasad, phew! Did you realise your name is longer than the comment you made?
prince of ayodhya, slide shows are out of the question. Unlike popular misconception, I do not believe that a picture is worth a thousand words. Properly worded sentences, on the contrary, are worth full length movies.

konidella siva sankara vara prasad? maybe you should google that name before dismissing it just for length...
6 Feb 2009, 10:08pm
prince of ayodhya, what makes you think I am the only one to dismiss that name? Even the most famous among us uses a much shorter nick, lest the time it takes to pronounce the entire name becomes longer than the duration of his movies.

They say-
The first step in blogging is not writing them, but reading them!!!

SAD (you don't mind my acronymising your name, do you?), I have never read blogs. Not even when I made my first ever post. Reading blogs compels you to come down to the writing level of lesser mortals.
13 Feb 2009, 10:05pm
Are you saying you commented without reading?
24 Feb 2009, 12:48am
Ah therein lies the rub, my dear Aran. I don't read stuff on others' blogs. Anything on my space is supremely precious.
24 Feb 2009, 12:50am
I'm not talking of your blog, dear Scripto. There have been comments on other blogs.

We live and learn. At any rate we live. Acts performed due to youthful indiscretion are surely above scrutiny?
24 Feb 2009, 12:54am
Does that mean if I start writing again, you won't read?
24 Feb 2009, 12:57am
You really think that will happen? That you will start writing again?
24 Feb 2009, 12:59am
You missed the 'if', didn't you? And to answer your question - stranger things have happened! Now answer mine. The one in the earlier comment.

I shall cross the bridge when I come to it. As they say, if my aunty was a man she should be my uncle. See where speculation got wall street.

Still slippery, no commitment person you are.
