My blog
Someone told me today that she is bored of my childhood memories. I can imagine! It must be an overdoze already. I had thought about it and wondered if you all think I am living in the past. My present life is pretty exciting too, but nothing out of the ordinary. That would bore you for sure. Me going home after work, cooking a meal and sleeping? Adults are boring. When shit happens, I’ll let you know. I could regale you with my philosophy, but there are millions of blogs out there who do a great job with that. My blog started off clueless, but later I found out this could be a good medium to relate my nostalgic childhood, especially when I have accomplished so much in one life time. Those days never fail to make me smile. Pieces of the Puzzle is such an apt name for my blog. I couldn’t have been more clairvoyant. I have a long term memory which freaks people out. I remember the aunty who slapped me when my mom wasn’t looking. I recall the incident which made me puke in first grade. I cant help it! The more I write, the more I want to write. HELP!
Oh well, that’s that about my blog. Bottom line- I love writing this crap. And I will slide in present day stuff too when I think its worth mentioning and its not too personal.
On a side note- Hey Maverick, this is for you! Since you said there’s no news from my end, and since I said I put a post almost everyday, and since you said I don’t address you directly on my posts- Howdy buddy! Just for kicks, I have an open challenge for you. You will have to find out my real name (including the last name) in 2 weeks and email me your find. Before December 23rd!
Hint- Year Book. And kiddo, keep your eyes open for further clues or 'pieces of the puzzle'.
Background for the clueless- Mav (not a blogger) happened to email me one day when he discovered that I belong to the same school/college as he. One of my posts gave it away. Not that it’s a big deal, but I was quite surprised (small world and all). Today he asked me for more details about me (like name, which year I graduated etc.). And I think for a smart guy like him, it shouldn’t be all that tough to figure out. I will let you all know if he took up the challenge and if he succeeded. Methinks he wouldn't care.
Edited to add: Sorry Priya, your guess was wrong. I studied in a co-ed...all my life.

You love your blog, I love your blog, I love to have someone counter-comments in a witty manner; Whom on earth should you give explanations? Society of Scatter-brained people, eh? They need explanation for your name - Alpha *ahem* Hydroxy and not your blog name. | ||

| ||
| | |
| venkat December 10, 2003 01:14 AM PST Your writing enchants because childhood is always in our midst, was never redundant in the first place, all it needs is a blog like this..:-), keep on..if you want a voting, i will even cast some bogus votes ..end should justify the means..:-), but dont think the matter will go up to that...seeing the overwhelming majority.. | ||
| ||

| Beautiful Life December 9, 2003 11:41 PM PST Hey keep writing abt ur childhood days. It's cho cheewt. Why 23rd dec. date mentioned specially? Is something special. Or something new going to start? | ||
| ||
| | |
| Jottingz December 9, 2003 10:28 PM PST Agreed we write what we want but u know when things get on the same track for quite a long time they can become mundane n monotonous. :P I guess all that "she" or "he" (whoever that was) meant was to ward off the monotony and go in for some variety. What's wrong in a lil variety? Variety is the spice of life :D | ||

| | |
| Kash December 9, 2003 10:16 PM PST Alpha, Just to tell you that i love ur posts (won't mention the comments here, though thats equally interesting). | ||

| Luna Lovegood December 9, 2003 09:17 PM PST Hey,you know something?You've got a pretty lovely glimpse of your childhood which half the people fail to see.(I'm turning sentimental,hell).Even I cannot see the same thing with mine.Am i blind?Or am I suffering from childhood-blindness? | ||
| ||
| | |
| Pleomorphous December 9, 2003 08:14 PM PST I started out pretty much the same way. Now I include childhood incidents because I can think of nothing else. And we (at home) end up talking about it most of the time... You write what you want, others be damned. This is your blog. Just my 2p (sorry Patrix, not offence intended *grin). | ||
| ||
| | |
| Patrix December 9, 2003 07:40 PM PST Admit it, Alpha!!! comments on ur blog border on being in the realm of fantasy (even the LOTR ones), Yogu hosts the R-rated comments and I usually have huge fights and counter-arguments going on....so don't resist...BTW u remind me of an interesting Sonali incident...one day on the blog. | ||
| ||
| | |
| Lamya December 9, 2003 03:49 PM PST Love your Post Alpha...the humor is too good...i also have very little childhood memory and nothing as interesting as yours.....But yes ur posts do bring a lot of laughter | ||

Patrix: Stalkers tere ko hi mubarak ho! This guy Mav, seems nice enough, hence the challenge. I hope he finds out. It shudnt be difficult once u know the alma mater. | ||

Because this world is soooooo full of darkness... Your blog is like this thin ray of light... It brings a smile on our faces... And that means a lot to us... It does to me at least.. Keep it up up UPPPP!!! :D | ||
| ||
| | |
| alpha December 9, 2003 12:59 PM PST Star baby: Yeah, that two-bit *she* can go jump. I wasn't going to stop writing abt my past anyways.hehe! So dont stop pulling your hair. And yeah, if anyone's willing to pay me, I'd write about my sex life too. Can I see a deal happening? tut tutter: thanks. now you confuse me. All this while, U were reshma of the salam fame?! and here i was getting all excited that i had an obsessive stalker after me! Not complaining, mind u. Saddam: Hum kya bole? Aapke Chicago wale bete se meri shaadi jo ho gayi. | ||
| ||
| | |
| Saddam December 9, 2003 12:58 PM PST Begum...aap to par lagakar ud gaye!...mujhe, apne shawhar ko Iraqistan mein akela chod kar? You do know that u are my favourite wife don't you? Green Card milega? | ||

| | |
| star December 9, 2003 11:06 AM PST PS: You mean your name is not Alpha Hydroxy??? Damn! Here I was thinking I was going to get free samples of that cream!! | ||
| ||
| | |
| star December 9, 2003 11:05 AM PST I dont think you should stop writing about your past. Its your blog and you should write what you want, not what some two-bit *she* thinks you should write. The minute someone starts paying you to fill this space you should take suggestions and ideas on what to post- till then keep it real! | ||
| ||
| | |
| alpha December 9, 2003 10:57 AM PST what to hide from you- I am Saddam's 3rd wife. | ||
