It’s been 23 days since I haven’t contributed to my own blog. Disgraceful? Sure, but I could not help it. Was away for some days, and also busy with my younger daughter’s professional college admissions.
If I had the time, could have written blogs galore about the admission process itself. But now, all’s well that ends well – it’s done!
When one takes the luxury of a vacation (for Mumbaikars, anything more than 2 days away is a luxury – and I took 4 days off away from the city) there is a compensatory hypertrophy in work – assignments have to be completed, deadlines in my absence provided for: that’s before the holiday.
And when you are back to the grind, though refreshed proportionate to the duration of the break, it’s double the pace for a few days. So is the vacation still worth it when it’s a military regimen before and after? It is!
And now we have social networking sites like Facebook, which for me is more of a meeting-ground with like-minded people and a partial source of feedback for whatever I write and express either paid (in my articles) or otherwise (on FB), the time spent after returning from a vacation increases. You have to reply to messages, screen friend requests and also check for comments et al.
Friends are suggesting that I join Twitter. I will, I guess it’s an inevitability in modern life. But I would rather select the moment – and by that I do not mean astrologically but in terms of my mental preparation and yes, a small knowledge of more than just the basic working. Technically I am already registered, but I have not yet become a Tweeter.
And yes, I have started three groups on FB, which I hope you guys out there join them in force – AND MORE IMPORTANTLY CONSTRUCTIVELY CONTRIBUTE TO THEM – ANAND BAKSHI, BRING BACK THE LIP-SYNCHED SONG – SAVE OUR HERITAGE and PADMA SHRI KALYANJI-ANANDJI – THE AGELESS DUO.
And yes, there are brilliant groups started by my dear friends like Vishal Singh, Pritam Sharma, Satyajit Rajurkar and Sudarshan Pandey on deserving names and colossi as well as issues – like Amit Kumar, Rajesh Roshan, Shankar-Jaikishen : The Emperors of Hindi Film Music and Laxmikant-Pyarelal and also one on Rare Hindi Film Songs.
No, I am not doing PR for these groups. We need motivated members who are passionate about these talents and music, to give us endless pleasure with their discussions and contribution to content.
Join only if you believe.
And for now, I promise that I will try and blog regularly. Good day.
