The Birth

First things first, please give me a warm welcome to the world of blogging, which until recently, I thought of something that’s made a joke out of the art of writing! But with time I realized that everyone has a story to share and I have too. Well not really, some of my closes friends are writing blogs and I thought I’ll join the bandwagon. (So much for motivation to read this blog :P).

That’s the that of me deciding to get into this cut-throat “read my blog it’s the best and also please comment” world. The next obvious step was to get hold of a cracker of a name for the blog. Even though the entire world bleats “what’s in a name?” , the truth is, the more attractive the name the more clicks , more comments and more followers :P

Finalizing a name was a tough job. Took the best of 25 minutes to think of one and decide on it. “PROCRASTINATOR” it would be, because like everyone else, I think that word epitomizes me. (Also because of the fact I coined that term [citation needed] ). So all excited, I created an account and typed in the magic word even making three typos. Alas, some idiot already had already taken up that name. The I thought I’d make a few sacrifices, and the new name would be “PROCRASTINATOR269” . Please note, I didn’t try out “PROCRASTINATOR1” to “PROCRASTINATOR268” atleast not all of it.

Finally, having a name in mind for the blog I called up my girl friend and told her all about me entering the blog-world. She was so excited. And as they say “Nothing lasts forever”, that excitement lasted approximately the same time that Usain Bolt needs to run 100 metres. Because then she heard the NAME. After a few minutes of discussion and the fear of her disowning me the name u see above is the name we mutually(read : mutually) agreed upon.

So that’s how the story behind how this blog was conceived and is now sheltered in a google server somewhere in the land of inscrutability. The plan is to pen my thoughts daily, a little diary-esque. But with the mental rigours and exertion of deciding names I’ll pass today!

Please keep clicking everyday to see if I’ve posted something and also critical analysis of my writing is welcome, NOT !!!

Till then keep it simple.

PS: sorry for the rowling-ish post title.
