Well.. here it is. The first blog that I have ever written. Will it be the humble beginning of great literature - seemingly accidental but pre-ordained? Or will it be just another one of those thousands of initiatives taken up and given up due to the lack of that really essential thing that we need - will power. Whatever the case may be, at least there's a beginning.
Now I need something to write about. Let me see... oh yes! Just yesterday I saw Russell Peters on DVD. This guy came highly recommended by a friend and the DVD was thrust upon me - "Must watch this dude.. you'll die laughing". Now when anyone recommends something so forcefully to me, I always do just one thing - ignore it. I don't know why, it might only be some weird kind of reverse snobbery or whatever, but I don't like to be told what I would like and what I will not.
Anyway, after a month or so of Russell Peters grinning up at me stupidly from the cover (in which time I saw the whole LOTR trilogy and maybe 13 other movies) I had nothing else to see yesterday. So I decided to give him a shot. And I'm so glad I did. I have always admired people who have a way with words. And this guy has a way with swear-words. He can get away by saying the most racist, hateful and bigoted statements. But the reason why he can do so is only because he is EQUALLY politically incorrect about every race that he talks about. And of course the humour gets you to just love him for whatever he says to you.
Coming back to the point. After seeing the DVD, I was only a wee bit sorry for myself that I hadn't seen it for so long. Need to work on the reason why this happened, but I'll probably keep it for another day and another blog. Hopefully, I'll at least come around to keeping this thing going.

sunit!
what a privilege to sit in blr, and read your thoughts (literally). I love it. You keep bloging and I'll keep reading. I always think that reading somebody's 'diary', is just something else. You get a peek into their way of thinking, their ups and downs, how they react to this that and the other, what makes them tick!
Re Russel Peters...i have heard of this DVD...maybe I should see it to see if it changes my mind...but I went to see his show in Blr, when he was here, and I HATED it. I thought he has no talent for humour, and has to resort to using swear words and insulting people in order to appear funny. and i couldn't believe people actually FOUND it funny. i was quite shocked. i do know several people who think he's good, so i dont know what either they, or I, are/ am missing.
That's a great start my friend. The first time is always the most difficult...but then once virginity is a thing of the past, all remaining conquests become a walk in the park.
