Procrastination Timeout

It was four years ago when I had hit the 'Publish' button on the last post on this blog. I was busy wasting my life on other important stuffs and trying to avoid this blog needlessly. But now I feel I should write sometimes - about so little of so many things happening around me. So now you can expect some new posts on this blog - actually there will be flurry of posts until I run out of content I accumulated over these years, or until my fickle mind push me to some other interesting work. But until then procrastination time out ! :)

A bibliophile awakened.

Good morning folks,

Its friday. Usually for me, its one of the most active day of the week. Today, I started it with some serious business. After I woke up this morning, I ordered few books online. I love reading books. During my childhood, when my friends used to play cricket during their play time, I used to read books. Comics, magazines, newspapers, encyclopedia, novels or just anything printed in black on white, I read them all. I was a bibliophile. But as the time passed, laziness rusted all my hobbies; specially reading. I preferred to snuggle inside my blanket or yawn while watching idiot box than going to some book store and shuffle books.

Things would have never changed for me, if I happened not to read a wonderful blog post by a blogger friend Kriti. She wrote about her love affair with books ;) This was some good inspiration for me. So, to celebrate and cherish my long association/obsession with books, I have ordered three books for a start. Two of them are by favorite author Ruskin Bond. I have heard 'quite a lot' good things about Flipkart and their service, that's why I have chosen them to shop these books. Shopping experience was smooth. Best things about online shopping are the DISCOUNTS. I got a fair sum of discount on all three books. Now I am waiting for them to deliver within 2-3 business days (which seems impossible to me), as promised by them. Here is a snapshot of the receipt.

I will review about Flipkart service after I receive my package. Fingers crossed !!

Kittu: A Kanpuriya Kat !!

Kanpur is an industrial town in Uttar Pradesh. It is more famous of its reckless traffic and diverse pollution scene. I have my maternal relatives in Kanpur and I visit them often. After observing this town for a decade, I am sure that there is chaos and filth almost everywhere in Kanpur. In recent years, many malls and multiplexes have sprung up.

Not many of you know, I mostly blog about stuff which I like and generally do not slap my views for stuff I dislike. But still there are many reasons for which I visit this town. Food is on top of that list. During my last four years of Engineering at Lucknow, I made countless day trips to Kanpur from Lucknow just to gobble down all the awesome Kanpuriya street food. Apart from treating my taste buds, sometimes I have had beautiful encounters here, mostly with girls of such beauty that if they cat walk on the ramp they will shake the fashion world.

During my visit to Kanpur last month, I met a pet tomcat at my nani's home. He is our neighbour's friendly male cat. His name is Kittu. I am a crazy feline lover and I instantly fell in love with Kittu darling. Kittu comes 3-4 times every day to search for rats in our home. I wonder if he have ever found one. He loves it when I cuddle him. Everytime he sights me, he comes to me and start rubbing his head against my foot. I think its his way to tell me that he wants to cuddled. A very cute, smart and adorable fellow. Never touches any edible item unless its given to him. Never unnecessarily gets on to bed or sofa unless called upon. And yes, he is highly photogenic. He even posed for me. Clicked some nice shots, check them out.

Looking forward to meet him again. I hope he finds a rat some day ;)

Official Launch Coming Soon !!

Hello people,

Its been a long time since I have blogged. Well, to say the truth, I had lost interest in blogging. But after a brainwash and putting some generous time in sorting my stuff, I am back again. I hope to maintain a regular a flow of posts from my end and blog enthusiastically until next month when I will have to go to join my first company Infosys Technologies.


Also I have not launched this blog officially, and now I am planning to do it very soon after filling some worth-a-read content. So to start with, here is a travelogue coming in next few days. And many reviews too. So stay tuned with 'Ek Tukda Zindagi'.

Keep smiling and keep spreading smiles :)
