Choice

To begin with, I owe an apology to those who have been visiting the blog in anticipation of finding a new article, only to be disappointed by the infrequency of new posts over the last three weeks. Reasons have been more than one.

Firstly, exams were the talk of the town. Although I did not have to sit for more than two exams this semester, the very fact that I was doing a full day internship (still am) meant that I had hardly read through the lecture notes in the first half (and a bit more) of the semester in the first place. That left me eight weeks of backlog, another four tutorials, along with understanding complex concepts..and you can do the maths yourself! You get the situation right?

The second reason, was the creation of a parallel blog. This though is a cooperative blog, which some friends and myself have got together for with the vision of making the world read (actually, its to fulfill our passion for writing!). For the greater good of blog-iety and catering to those needing their monthly dose of humour, techism, life, and general randomness, we have brought to you the Hodgepodge Rostrum- http://www.hodgepodge-rostrum.blogspot.com/, where we currently have the Pardesi Dhaba running. So be welcome, come to the Dhaba and experience the rich desiness (for the convenience of those Hindi-cally challenged Desi is a term for Indian. And please do not have that look on your face, I am warranted at least one sentence of advertisement of my own creation in this blog, aint I?!)

But this post is not all about the other blog. I have felt something over the course of absence from this blog, which I would like to share today, as well as in the coming days, and this would form the core of the coming few entries on this space.

As is often the case with something new, a lot of my time and effort went into the initial setup of the other blog. I tended to neglect this blog, and not suprisingly, the guilt factor made its presence felt within a few days. This is a reaction many have to face, and that too in such a variety of aspects in life that I would be surprised if you aren't surprised. When one is married, it must be ensured that the parents are given the same attention they were given before. Having a girlfriend/boyfriend should be followed by friendship not being forgotten. While making new friends, the old ones must be held even closer. Life experiences deal with all such situations. Think about it, similar situations would have hit you in your lives. I known of people who have had to face them as well. The series of the next few posts would be inspired from these occurrences, and touch upon the finer nuances in life of CHOICE...
