Why don't you do some blogging since you spend so much time on the computer... I was told at this change of the year moment! Of course, starting anything new just at the new year is a baaad idea - usually fails, like all good intentions and resolutions made at this moment. But, well, its a new year, and I would be failing the moment if I didn't start something new...
So on advice and recommendation* from the brother&bhabhi, the blogging shall start!
(do note that *'recommendation from brother' is actually an oxymoron... brothers don't gently recommend... they are usually (read always) completely right, and if you doesn't listen to the word of the wise... well, browbeating does start with the word 'bro'!)
It was also recommended that it would better to start a new blog rather than this old 'ambassador' blog
(for those who aren't familiar with the good old indian 'one car for a family and its next 3 generations' concept, the 'ambi' is a v. old idea of a car, stayed around forever, carried all 26 members of the extended family to picnics, passed from grandfather to father to our generation, still stood in our house at d232 def col, till even the kabadi wallah would not touch it!)
So in great earnest I stated looking for a name for the 'new' blog at the 'newest' cool place to blog - wordpress... and as I write this, I am still looking for a name - not for want of ideas, but ALL the ones I have come up with are taken! So original me (not)!!
So through my quest to find a name, we shall journey together. Tried the following till now...
noclue
notquite
livingdalife
subina
methinks
I must say I was a bit surprised when 'livingdalife' was not available, and also 'subina' ... sob! someone stole ma name... mommy!!
There are names which you know will be taken but mine is a concocted name - a mis-spelt form of Sabina, so I am always surprised to find others whose families made the same mistake!
So what else can I call my new blog? What is the point of the blog - that should lead me to a unique name...
..lets see, wordpress recommends we make a stick figure - me, and draw thought bubbles around it to find the reasons for why your blog may exist...
(in the meantime, tried 'whynot' 'sohow' 'iexist' - nope! all taken)
Of course, this paper napkin process of the 'thot bubbles' to attain clarity of thought for the greatest creative writing is meant to be done AFTER the blog has a name and is registered!! So How?? If don't have a name how can write?
hey! 'whyexist' exists!! .. umm, that's not really what I want to call it, I think...
SO that's the story of the life ...
What I want is gone, taken, and what I get is not really what I want.
But I've been told that you always get what you 'actually' want; not what you think you want...
Hmmm... let me 'think' about what I want, while I still continue to search for a blog name!
