First impressions and reactions

This will be a short post, just to acknowledge and thank all those who copped a look at my first post! The comments and offline feedback have been very kind and encouraging! Thank you all (you know who you are)!

For my next few posts, I will be doing a comparison of the lives of a corporate drudge and a freelance hack (my previous and current "avatars")... Keep checking in and let me know what you think... above all, please be kind ;-0

PS: Anil's comments on the Sakshi TV fumble were funny! I didn't even know there was such an animal in existence (Sakshi TV, that is)!

545 days and counting...

That's 545 days of being a freelance writer and fulfilling a self-made prophecy made long ago. After spending almost fifteen years of my life being a corporate drudge (not that I didn't enjoy it!), I decided to throw in the towel and get back to the basics, the basics being:
  • Sleep (and lots of it)
  • Flexible schedule (even if it meant doing nothing!)
  • Writing (that's the self-made prophesy, yada, yada...)

Since then, the 'basics' have become 'routine' and I've done a fair amount of writing and continue to do so. Needless to say, I enjoy every minute of it! Now, with my own little corner in "blog heaven", I'll share how Project-Life progresses, my writing, topics which interest me and those which are centrestage in the news and anything else which comes to mind - some tips, trivia, humour, etc, etc.

This corner is also open to anyone who wishes to comment on my posts, share their opinions and generally, agree to disagree with whatever being said here or any topical events. But, let's keep it clean, please!

Cheers for now and more later...

PS: Just to kickstart our interaction, what do you think of all the hoopla when YSR and his helicopter went missing? Conspiracy theories, anyone?
