“Change begets change. Nothing propagates so fast. If a man habituated to a narrow circle of cares and pleasures, out of which he seldom travels, step beyond it, though for never so brief a space, his departure from the monotonous scene on which he has been an actor of importance would seem to be the signal for instant confusion. The mine which Time has slowly dug beneath familiar objects is sprung in an instant; and what was rock before, becomes but sand and dust.”
I’d like to tell you all that I was abducted by aliens but knowing how distorted my friends’ thinking is I’ll let that be! I was not abducted by aliens and NO I was not sexually molested by them either.
I’d like to tell my readers, all two and three fourths of them, that I was in hibernation for the last 2 moths or so, but you wouldn’t believe me coz I have been a part of your lives as much as I ever was.
I’d also like to tell my readers that I did not have access to the internet but then yeah! 
So HERE I am. Back into blogosphere. I’ve been reading loads and loads of blogged ranting. Very diverse writers. Very intriguing views. Very very controversial subjects. I’ve had the opportunity to pick out a few good ones that I think ARE the best ones among the millions out there which I’ll be adding to the “Blogs I Read” section to the right of this page. But primarily, I really haven’t been filing these spaces coz I didn’t have anything to write about. But not anymore………………
Philosophy, women and friends are out. Business, politics, health and entertainment is in. Everything in sports except the performance of the Indian cricket team is in. The Indian cricket team is out. And like my friend Gollum once said, “Make your posts longer and more meaningful. Not short and brainless as they are.” Point taken my friend.
For all those of you who are expecting follow up posts to “Meet the parents.” [Well……5 of you mentioned it to me, so that qualifies as a ‘popular demand’ enquiry for me], I am ready with 2 of them. Soon. Soon.
One of you mentioned that starting off blogs a.k.a ‘Blogfanatic health Files’ and ‘Blogfanatic on Business’ linked to your primary blogger ID and not filling those spaces is equivalent to encroaching WWW space. Point taken again. One post a day. A promise that will stand the test of time.
A thousand thanks to San.., Am.., Raj.., Nar.., Vij.. . I’ll keep the look of the blog that way. Simple. And I’m sorry I won’t be able to turn off comments moderation.
And last but not the least, a few quotes that have had me depressed, introspective and optimistic all at the same time. I ended on a high. I ended up inspired………
“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.”
- Martin Luther King, Jr.
I have no idea to this day what those two Italian ladies were singing about. Truth is, I don’t want to know. Some things are best left unsaid. I’d like to think they were singing about something so beautiful, it can’t be expressed in words, and makes your heart ache because of it. I tell you, those voices soared higher and farther than anybody in a gray place dares to dream. It was like some beautiful bird flapped into our drab little cage and made those walls dissolve away, and for the briefest of moments, every last man in Shawshank felt free.
- Red [ The Shawshank Redemption]
You can tell more about a person by what he says about others than you can by what others say about him.

The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude to me is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than success, than what other people think, say or do. It is more important than appearance, gift, or skill. It will make or break a company…a church…a home.
The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past… The only thing we can do is play on the string we have, and that is our attitude.
I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you… we are in charge of our attitudes.
- Charles Swindoll
“The goal of mankind is knowledge … Now this knowledge is inherent in man. No knowledge comes from outside: it is all inside. What we say a man ‘knows’, should, in strict psychological language, be what he ‘discovers’ or ‘unveils’; what man ‘learns’ is really what he discovers by taking the cover off his own soul, which is a mine of infinite knowledge.”
- Swami Vivekananda.
