Few months ago, me and The Wandering Minstrel were arguing over why I had stopped blogging. I told TWM this,"There is a vast difference between a Ferrari and a Toyota. You see,Toyota spawns a new car every now and then - eco-friendly, driver-friendly, every-friendly; in short lame. But you know Ferrari, they roll out one car after every 100 years because they know that that car is going to RULE for 100 more to come". As expected TWM got pissed and showed me the tongue. The fact is, I am not a fan of Ferraris. I infact love Toyota because it caters to everyday needs. I love them not because they are available everywhere; but because they tell what you need rather than what you want. TWM might agree to this.

For the aliens from Mars, TWM is a fellow blogger, a fellow traveler and a dear dear sister to me.

There are at least 10 reasons for why I did not blog for so long. But I will give you the most cliched ones for the others might be too unbelievable for most. I was busy with work. Oh yes, and I was too busy with something rare.

After 25 years of living, I finally found one material thing that I loved to do. You see, in the last one year, I bought three things, each complimenting the other in some way. In Feb '09 I bought my first D-SLR - the Nikon D40. If you are wondering what a D-SLR is, it stands for Digital Single Lens Reflex. I don't know shit of what SLR means. What I know for sure is, it takes kick-ass pictures. I have always wanted to take pictures of things that seem very mundane but can portray something different.

In Aug I bought the second hallow (as in Harry Potter:And the Deathly Hallows). The MacBook Pro. It is amazing. Nay, the most amazing thing I've had so far. I am in absolutely love with the ease of use of a Mac and the lack of worries of virus attacks and constant system crash or low battery levels. Although the purpose of buying a Mac was work it has easily taken over life as well. And work, brings me to the third hallow: iPhone. Wow. What a device. Something in my heart tells me this is the future. Not the iPhone, the technology.

So I was busy. With these things. Taking pictures, most of which are uploaded on my facebook and orkut accounts; working on my Mac, projects and assignments; projects and assignments for iPhone. What a semester. Making a game for iPhone which might be up on the AppStore for all to download for free, working on my career a bit and etc.

Well that is what life has come to. Work. Work. and Work. and tensions and pressures. So, this blog's as lame as my life right now.
