reasons

Dance-
today i caught myself doing a tango ochos move in the kitchen... that cracked me up!! even tho' i was in a pretty shitty mood.. hehe, u are capable of laughter however low down in the dumps you are..

Anyway, Kim had once called me Twinkle Toes Pradhan, NOT for my dancing skills... but, man, that was premonitory in a wierd kinda way! Who'd have thought I'd actually say that I enjoy this thing! hehe.. as my old friend said today - "what's this? the new rebranded Anuj?? actually dancing.. and waking early!! :)"

But yes, Tango is fun. I do not know how good it looks to an observer, but it definitely feels real good. And that's what counts right?

Blog-
A conversation yesterday about blogs and their contents. (We are talking about personal blogs)
Some are very very high-level, and too-specialized.
Some are too pedantic to be fun.
Some are too shallow.
Someone said - "I dont like so-and-so's blog coz it is more like a journal about his/her life". That was a key observation. a public journal .. no voyuerism there.. and not necessarily of interest unless the person is important to you.

"Well," I thunk, "does mine read like a journal?" ???? ????
maybe, maybe not.. not important.

and that kinda got me to thinking... What do I try and achieve with this site??
Well, here's a list..

- A "keep-in-touch" page. For friends, family, acquaintances, long-lost schoolmates, future buddies, whoever.. whoever is interested in knowing what's kinda happening in my life. This is like one of those old-time mass emails written out to the "family" and "friends" mailing-lists once every 6 months or so.
- A "rant-page" for times when i have to say something about something i've heard/read/seen.. and which i want to keep on record.
- Thoughts page - for the times when i have a brilliant million dollar thought and i need to share it with the world. altho' it doesn't look like i have had many of those in a while huh!!
- Sounding board - venting space - punching bag.
- Archive - for all those moments.
- journal? .. maybe.. memories aren't as good as they used to be, right? need a little something to remind you of what happened when.
- Photo archive/share space.
- finally -and the reason i decided on a website- to put out information online.. whatever info i can share with people out there.

So that's that.

Just random thoughts for today.
Its been a crazy day..
it'll be crazy tomorrow too i guess.

should i wax poetic on
friends
lovers
love - found, lost, unrequited,
feelings
emotions
life
imcompleteness
impermanence
change

or should i spare you this today? maybe some other day huh?

i'll keep a rule for one topic per post.
