thought process...

I was discussing with a friend of mine that I don't have anything to write in my blog. My friend said that "it's actually like your scrapbook, write whatever comes to your mind". So incase you feel mad after reading any of the following, you know who to blame.

Thought 1:

I am on a self-imposed diet control plan. No, I am not fat, I am dieting to maintain my figure. I was in the canteen for a longish coffee break and 'chanced' to see what’s on menu today for lunch. One of my favorites, Mutton Chap. There's a war going on between my heart and mind since then. Following is an excerpt from the very closely fought battle.

heart: it's ok if u have lunch for one day. One day will hardly make any difference.
mind:u've been saying that since last week Tuesday!! Think of all that you had for lunch since last Tuesday. how could you even think of mutton again!

heart: yeah, guess you are right. It's just that you don't have to have the entire plate. Have some and.... well, throw the rest.
mind: u seriously think u can 'have some, throw rest' !
(I know a vast majority of Indian population goes without one square meal a day, I don't throw food either...no harm thinking).

heart: Mallika (name changed without request) is also having mutton. You think she would have had if it was that bad.
mind: Oh God! Forgot to ask her where she got that shoe from.

heart: what about lunch then....
mind: won't get that item if you go now. Coupons get over by 1:45. it's 1:48 now.

(The above drama also had musical accompaniment. That of my growling stomach.)


Thought 2:

Is it okay to post anonymous comments on your own blog....Just 1 comment so far, that too from a friend, whom I had threatened with dire consequences if he did not read my blog, and more importantly comment.


Thought 3: (Just occurred)

Why is it "Labels for this post:e.g. scooters, vacation, fall " . Why 'scooter','vacation' or 'fall' .Was the writer also going through a 'mental-block-phase' like me....or maybe the designers wanted to convey the message that you can write about just anything, everything is worth mentioning.


Thought 4:

I will have grilled chicken sandwich and juice for snacks.

Cause of the because

I honestly had no intention of being 'different' or 'out of the box' when I named my blogspot url as 'will miss the bus'.

Llike 90% of other s/w enggs, I too have no work 60% of the times. I was going through some blog links that a few kind hearted friends had mailed me to help me pass my time. Most of them were from IIM students or passouts, others from a large variety of professionals. I enjoyed them so much that i decided to start a blog of my own. There was (and still is)...a little problem though. I didn't (and still don't) have anything to write.

By the time I decided that I would start a blog of my own, it was already time for luncheon and by the time i finally clicked the 'create blog' option it was already 4pm(post lunch nap is essential for my health!). I couldn't think of a proper heading for my blog, so I named it 'Whats in a name' (I think thats philosophical enough though). After much deliberation I finally decided to keep my name as the url , but apparently somebody else also has a blogspot by that name. I tried a lot of permutation and combination with the letters, until my name was looking like the names of one of those filmstars(or tvstars) with too many extra alphabets, but still kept on getting the message that some other person has also tried the same permutation and combination. I finally gave up the idea and for the next one hour (I am not exaggerating) tried out scores of creative, common place and arbid names (in that order). None of them were available. I have seldom felt so frustrated before, I mean what the heck, any stupid name I think of , someone else has already been stupid enough to think of before! Finally, it was time for the office bus to leave. As a last ditch effort I typed 'will miss the bus' and pressed continue. It worked. Apparently nobody had missed the bus before.
