Blahsphemy

i feel like i have stepped on fresh dog poo. someone who has seen my portfolio pointed out a silly grammar mistake made by me. i am so ashamed to even think that I was careless enough not to notice it. there are bad days for everyone. but then it has been a bad month for me so far. and now to top it all a head hunter is adamant that i attend an interview, which i have no interest in. oh god, save me, please.

there it is a skeleton waiting to be wrapped in metal and fuelled.

it has happened to me before and now it's happening again. true deja moo style! my gym just disappeared overnight. the first time it happened, i was in a different country in a different time zone. now it's my country and my time zone. the gym has disappeared. thanks to some stupid rule which prevents any commercial activity within a residential area. damn.

It’s been years since someone posed that question to me. “Have you done long copy ads?” I don’t blame them. It’s easy to get away with a paragraph. The real question is, can you get away with paragraphs and paragraphs. If you are good then, you definitely can. But then, you have to be adept enough to woo the reader to the last line of your last paragraph. It takes time and serious skill to achieve this. Today, long copy ads are competing with busy schedules, eye candy ads, TV, kids, wife, friends…the list goes on and on. Every writer faces this at some point in his life. I had a peek at Seth Godin’s blog. Man, that guy blogs like there is no tomorrow. That too across some five blogs! Pages and pages of relevant and thought provoking ideas, views, news and what not. And here I am struggling to fill an A4 page with words. I have a strange feeling that this guy has a comp wired to his brain. Look at his head. It’s as smooth as an egg. All those ideas would have pushed at his hair follic...

Everyday i wake up with ideas to blog. why can't i blog this. or is that better. finally when i reach the comp, the ideas just seem to fade away. they are too elusive. today also the same thing happened. but then how can the blogger in me let go just like that? so i decided to write down the ideas and blog them down one by one. right now the ideas list is growing. the blogging isn't! i salute all you hardcore bloggers out there, you are too great. i realised blogging is no child's play. i hereby promise that deja moo will have something solid to mull over. yes, solid cow/bull pats on the way folks.

i clicked on the create post for the umpteenth time. still i have nothing to blog. am i facing a bloggers block or what? or is my life a bit dull to even blog about? only time will tell. things are looking good on the job front.

i started another blog. not that i am going to stop this one. the other one is too easy. i have christianed it creative concussions. i will be posting everything under the sun that leaves a lasting impression creatively. so here i am trawling the world wide web for inspirational gems. so here i am on a saturday blogging here while i should've been there and vice versa.

too sluggish even to hit the keyboard. had a heavy meal at fortune cookies. hope my fortunes change for the better.

an interesting use for a flyover. its a no rain zone for two wheeler riders and pedestrians!

what the heck is zebraxing? it can't be xeroxing as there is a mention about engines.

My 2.6 litre car The speed lanes Dune bashing The beaches Bon Jovi Paid holidays Camels Harley Showroom AC Malls Abhayas Did I miss something? Or am I missing anything? I seriously don't know. Life is going on. It's been a year since I owned a vehicle. I was fortunate enough to drive quite a few. Someday, someday...

Ten days and a few gall stones Gall stones, gall bladder, liver, pancreas, endoscopy and laproscopy How a visit to the local clinic made me poorer by a few thousands and my wife lose her stones. Chills, stomach ache, gas, a few pimples… that’s all it took to lose around a lakh and ten days of leave. All that's lying there in that kidney dish.
