Nothing much to update. Have a couple of half written posts waiting in the drafts, but when I read them, I just realise how lame they are. Have been to Coimbatore for a couple of days. That place is not too far from the border of Kerala, but the difference in culture just amazes me. And yea, the diffrence in bus charges, too. I could travel ten kilometers for 3.5 rupees, while that is just the minimum charge here in Kerala.
Btw, I got my perkytweets Tee. In case you don't know, it's a contest conducted by Blogadda, in Twitter, for writing crispy one liners. The one that I wrote was, 'Dabangg broke 3 idiots' initial collection record. An idiot alone, defeated three idiots'. Ok, I know what you are thinking. If I could win a T shirt for that lame joke of mine, the funny people among you could probably win a textile shop itself. I don't know how I won the prize, but I really appreciate their kindness for sending me a free T shirt. I would appreciate it even if any of you did the same. Wanna check? Try sending me one.
For an amatuer Unix user, is Ubuntu the better choice? Let me know, in case you have any idea.
Simply try Googling the word amatuer. Aha! What results!

What a day, in other words, Wordpress or Blogger
What a day. Serene. Beautiful. Just can't refrain myself from typing a few lines.
In the morning, my sister prepared a hot and sour chicken soup for me. It was so spicy, that simply the fumes from it could probably burn a paper. But once she cooks something for me, I must have it. That's what the deal is. Besides, I just can't disappoint her. So, I had it, managing a smile on my face, and also, nodding in appreciation. I saw the love which was served along with it, and, hopefully, nobody saw the smoke that was coming out of my ears.
Then, while taking bath, I applied this mixture of shikakai and I don't know what all other things, on my hair, as a part of my persistent duel with dandruff. A bit of that mixture oozed into my eyes. If I had to wash my eyes with either this mixture or the soup that I had in the morning, I would have chosen the soup. After a frantic effort to wash the eyes, everything looked ok to me. I could see everything, and that was a strong indication of both the eyeballs being in the respective sockets. But, alas, my eyes had turned red.
I switched on the TV hoping to see a good mallu movie, and tuned into the mallu channels. There, they had this superhit movie, which was featuring in the mini screen, for the first time, as they said it. But I had seen the movie four times, in the same channel.
I switched on the computer, which was the last asylum. Opened my blogger account. Decided to check the newly introduced 'stats' section in Blogger. Got encouraged, seeing that my blog has got a total of 862 pageviews till now. For a moment only. Very soon, realised that 600 of those pageviews could be mine itself, and got discouraged by the same amount or more, by which I had got encouraged, earlier. I dug into further details, and had a look at the search terms by which people found my blog, in Google. The top two entries were these.
1. Mayanti Langer cleavage
2. Grand mathur fucking
Aha. What is this, a porn blog? The first search had this post as a result. I had written a review of the book, 'Inscrutible Americans' by Anurag Mathur, long back. The second search had that post as a result. Aargh!
So what a day it was! Agree, folks?
But apart from all that, I want to tell you something. I have started to think about the future of this blog. I created this blogger account, two years ago, while I was in college. Purpose was to write a story or rather an exaggerated description of a funny incident that happened during a lab exam, in the class blog. Then, wrote a couple of similar posts there, about some other incidents. Writing felt nice, and I started posting in this blog. I enjoyed writing, and it helped me learn, considering the fact that I had studied in Malayalam medium schools, till tenth.
There are two types of posts, here. First one, which are inspired by the incidents in my life, and also, random updates about my life.
Second, inspired by the stuff that I read. Mostly current affairs.
Over the time, I have learned that I enjoyed writing things that belong to the first group. All my friends who were forced to read, acted like enjoying, the same posts. So, I will not write anything about current affairs, from now on. And yea, none of the National and International leaders seem to care. So why would I give them more valuable inputs? Let them sort things out on their own.
Now, the next thought is whether to continue posting here, or shift somewhere else. All the embaressing things that happen in my life, always made nice posts. So, if I were anonymous, I could write more freely. Thinking. Suggestions invited.
Is Wordpress better than Blogger? In case I am shifting. Where? Again, suggestions invited.
Anyways, a few changes are on the cards. And in the meantime, I have loads of other work to complete. Adios, for now.

Won't be posting anything in this space, for a while. That could be a week, a month or more. My posts haven't been of great intellectual value, I haven't been a regular blogger, and my posts are not anticipated by a large number of (practicallly none) followers. So why do I make an announcement like this? That's the way I am :-)

Just another tag
Don't feel like blogging. Here comes another tag that I took up from Bloody Mary.
3 places I would pack my travel bag for:
I love and traveling, and I would pack my bag for almost anywhere, but if you insist that I must choose only three, here they are:
--Jammu and Kashmir
--Botswana
--Ireland
3 on-screen characters I love to watch:
--Michael Scofield
--T bag (Both from Prison break)
--Joker from dark knight
3 moods that describe me the best:
--Absent minded. Like hell. Always lost in thoughts.
--Happy
--Sarcastic
3 things that I think of doing on a weekend but never do:
--Clean up my room
--Start the habit of getting up early
--Finish reading the unread books in my collection
3 things from my childhood I can't forget:
--Vishu celebration with all the family members at the ancestral home.
--Eating Pani puris with my cousin bro
--Listening to the stories that my mother used to tell. My fascination for stories started from there.
3 things I would never say no to:
--Milk sweets
--Cars
--Electronic Gadgets
3 things I can't live without:
--Internet
--Cell phone
--Books
Again, I tag all those who read this.
