127 hours...

My blog is on my mind the whole time... even when i am sleeping... there is so much to say and share but somehow everything is so disjointed that it feels weird to just put them together... well i saw 127 hours yesterday... and the after taste was not quite good... i was really excited before the film came on and was on my 'must watch' list... but what followed was more like an episode on Natgeo or discovery channel... not that i don't like them... i enjoy them... but what i expected in a film was much more... i mean it just left me too dry... i wanted to know more about that man - Aron Ralston (had to search imdb for his full name)... but it wasn't there anywhere... i couldn't just connect or relate to that man... somewhere i wanted to be an audience to his journey as well as wanted to be on the edge, bite my nails and feel at the end of it that this is how i want my life to be... but i dint see or feel any of it... in fact i remember me drifting to the thoughts of gorging on a sub sandwich at the end of the movie... i almost made the sub in my head and had a bite of it too... but the movie was fun because i absolutely like james franco (now his name i do remember, i loved pineapple express)... i completely love the bit where they free fall into the water and again and again... i was actually like why am i not there... and last : i was with friends... So far thats the story going on in my head...

Just had an idea!!!

Am super excited... i've just thought of covering a few events on my blog... one of them is a dear friend's wedding... rather they both are dear... and the journey would be a series of pictures... but thats in february... so will have to wait... till then the idea is to cover small things like tea-parties with friends, kitty-parties with family, outings with friends and if possible serious meetings... lets see how it all goes from here...

Some links...

Mistaken identities...

To start with, it suddenly dawned on me that a blog was a great idea… i could just share all that i like on the blogs i read or see… and also in that way save it all on my blog for further reference… So i thought that if i dont start it today, i wont again till the same thought strikes me again… And then started by journey to search for the blog i made about two years ago… and after searching for it on all the possible sites and email ids, i realised that i dont have any traces left behind… nothing to worry about, i thought, as i have lost only the name of the blog, coz there to there was not a single word that i had written… and so then i started a fresh new blog – kickstart… because thats what it was meant to do…

and suddenly as i was going through someone else's blog, a funny feeling crept in... i just felt that i had seen this blog design somewhere... and suddenly i knew it was the same template i used on my old blog... the blog i had been searching for was not on blog.com but on blogspot.com... and when i hit the enter key to blogspot, there it was - my first blog - just as virgin as i had left it... and now i am confused - where do my loyalties stand...? The old long lost friend (read - blog) who waited for me all this while... or the new one - who was there just when i needed one...

The case of mistaken identities has left me now with two blogs... I've no idea whether i am gonna fill up both or none... Being a Gujju, i am happy that my wealth has increased... suddenly i am rich with two blogs and none of them are empty...
