The blog has largely been ignored for various (fascinating) reasons.
Primarily-
I have exams coming up and any writing i do Should be (in some way) an investment towards that.... uh. yes.
Facebook and photographs have been eating up a LOT of my time (sigh, its a hard task but someones got to do it :D...)
And here is the coolest ('kewlest') one... been writing a lot of fiction *beams*
Family and friends have officially been notified of above and begged/forced/wheedled/puppy-eye-d into reading and commenting...
Reactions?
Mum finds my language a lil complicated :(... which it is not..SO is not
Sister invokes the freedom-to-read-by-choice and shudders in horror each time i wave a print out in front of her :(:(
Dad picks up a pen and viciously gets down to an inky massacre... few sentences survive the attack.. (he insists on my POEMS SPELLING OUT stuff!)...canyoubelieveit?..but at least thats criticism :)
Friends of course are on the supportive bandwagon and throw around feel-good words with ease...
Guess i should learn to understand my audience..
-The dismissive
-The disinterested
-The ones who will buy my work because they love me
-The ones who will buy my work because we're related and i will harass them into it
-The critical ones
-The teeny tiny percentage who don't know (or like) me and still find my work worth a read :D
The last category i love, now i all i gotta do is hunt em down and mail a copy of my fantastic art :D
On the super-shiny-bloody-sunny part of the universe, am going w-i-l-d with postgrad applications... state, country, population-level no bar!... If MA English they offer, obediently i turn up complete with a beam and demand draft :):)
Dad jokingly recommended Pondicherry University.. i was sorely tempted to google it :)
Sigh. Gush. Oysters.
Okay, the last part only S will get *grins*
Ps- also been indulging in some minor think-grab-tissue-and-scribble-deep-thought-on-it kind of behaviour.. Doctors assure mum it isnt too serious (or infectious) but shes seriously concerned anyway!! hehe. i aaaaaaaalways crack up at my own lameness!
Much love.

oysters?
also, here's something funny that i found. don't intend to start a debate or whatever; just something silly(but true :P) ok!
What is chick lit?
Books written by bad female writers, aimed towards stupid female readers. Usually marketed in pink jackets adorned with semi-retro pictures of high heeled shoes and martini glasses.
Always about trendy twentysomething bitches whining about their jobs or relationships.
Comes from the words chick and literature
The girls, not having read much, find that Chick Lit offered the mindless entertainment they had come to find from shows such as "Sex and the City".
Many girls relate to Chick Lit because they are just as shallow as the characters in the books.
