Wow! What do I call it? "30 seconds of fame" or "2 hours of pain in the ass"? Well, as already mentioned in
Sakshi's post, this blogpage got mentioned (pretty abundantly, I'd say) in
The Telegraph, Calcutta edition, on the January 30th, 2007 (thanks to
Ms Suchi Arya). Oh man, I'd started this page just to vent out my frustrations in life and improve my writing skills, in general. Trust me, being in an engineering college, the scope to be creative in the literary department in just too limited. After getting into my present relationship, I had invited Sakshi tow rite here because I felt she had good enough ideas to think aloud and what more, her array array of topics actually supplemented mine. And well, I must admit, owing to limited internet connectivity in my college, it was getting too trying on me to keep this page updated as regularly as I'd like to.
I guess, that "master" move of mine paid off ;-) Combined with both Sakshi & my thoughts and the huge popularity on
Blogger, we did happen to grab some attention. Yes, I was certainly pleasantly surprised when Suchi
commented on one of
my posts, informing about the article. It was a good piece that she'd finally produced. However, there's one li'l issue where I've been a bit unhappy about. I know, my page is called "Shayon's Labyrinth", but then again, I'd have appreciated if she had mentioned Sakshi's name as well. I personally feel she deserved that much, being the co-contributor of my blog, especially when Suchi had actually quoted one of
Sakshi's innumerable posts, in the article.
Anyways, on my personal front, it's study time now. There'd been some issues in my relationships which I've finally managed to clear out, I hope. Got exams coming up, end of this month. And, oh yes, my second year anniversary of my relationship's coming up. Yes, I'd proposed to her on February 14, 2005! Cyber gaming still on the roll and furiously planning to reduce both my weight and waist! ;-)
Well, that is it, for now. Hope I get to write again, soon!
P.S: Any idea why I wrote "pain in the ass" in my very first line of the post? ;-)
