I shall Blog!

It had been a while since I blogged. I am jealous of my fellow bloggers who blog quite consistently, interestingly and meticulously. I had been through few creative posts on net and most of them are inspiring. Short stories, history, scientific facts, interesting trivia, news updates, life updates, poems…. Wow!
Every time I come across a creative post, I would tell to myself… “I am blogging tonight”. There will be a topic that I would have zeroed on.
When I reach home in the evening, Srikkanth(my friend and head of my Appleton household) would be there already mostly. If it’s one of the early days of the week, Chinmayi would be screaming at the top of her voice “இது தமிழகத்தின் மிக ப்ரம்மாண்டமான குரல் தேடல்!”. As soon as I remove my shoes, “Renu செரியாப் பாடல!” he would say. “Oh! என்ன பாட்டு?”. This is me!
I will assure myself that she will not be rejected as she is the greatest voice of the show. I will mostly sit with him to watch the rest of the program.
Towards the end of the program, my eyes would beg for rest, as I would have slept only 4 or 5 hours the previous night. I don’t have work @ home these days. I am usually idle in the evenings. But I sleep very late, after compensating for the lost sleep back log from the previous night, waking up late to cook late while talking to my offshore folks and to finish my dinner late only again to sleep late. Lately this has been my routine. I talk to my mom on the camera late nights and on phone late mornings.
By then I would have totally forgot the topic I've decided upon. Rather I desperately forget it in order to keep me away from typing.


The following contents were partially composed and remain dormant in the blog memory space of my brain…


1) Sandilyan’s Raja muthirai
2) Kemo’s farewell
3) My old poems
4) The Lankan -Tamil war and the fall of de-facto capital Kilinochi
5) Washington trip (Actually supposed to be a trip to New York) :-)
6) A quick recap of 2008
7) the A^2 syndrome (A commitment that has to be kept up)
8) Childhood memories
9) Three years of Cognizance
10) Legendary compositions of Isaignani Ilayaraja
11) From Kanchipuram to Appleton


I am getting a topic everyday. But I don’t write! Laziness is killing the creator in me. I have decided to fix my routine this weekend. Things should start working quickly hopefully and I should take up full fledged writing whether or not I have followers to go through them :-)
You will see the above mentioned topics revised, revisited, prioritized and written about, in days to come.
