Life in Technicolor

I had forgotten completely about this blog for the past half an year or so. It is amazing how even the most familiar of things fade into obscurity after they've spent a long time hiding from your immediate memory. And so into the deep dark underworld, did this blog too, until Jomy shook it up.

To make a long story short, Jomy is a friend from college, who went back to Delhi after that. Yesterday, I got a call from him when he mentioned that he started a blog (Check out his awesome blog here) and it brought to mind the one that I had maintained for years. I promised myself I'd check it out again.

And when I got to 'the neigbour's dog...', I found it to be a relic from an age gone by. My life had changed beyond recognition since the last post and it represented what I was, once upon a time. So I resolved to begin again just as my life had from the ashes of college life.

Life in Technicolor is one of my favorite Coldplay songs. And hearing it always brings to my mind, a vivid imaginary, to copy the like of which on canvas, they'll have to invent a whole new type of paint. And it is only fitting that I paint my life in that color.

This is the first of many changes. I plan to make this place virtually unrecognizable in a week. But the old posts will remain. It's always nice to have something to remind you where you came from.

And unlike, the last time I made a promise to blog regularly, I'm more equipped to keep it this time. I now work for a newspaper (check it out here), and when you're in that line of work, it gives you a lot of food for thought and a computer with access to the net 24x7. What more does a writer want?

So here goes this post, the first of many to come....
