Wikipedia defines writer’s block as “a condition, associated with writing as a profession, in which an author loses the ability to produce new work.” But this definition limits the definition to those who are writers by profession, and we, bloggers, are “writers by passion” and there are some, especially the “real” writers who do not [...]

Bailing out is not an option! I have to face this. I volunteered for it and nobody, and I mean NOBODY! – forced me to do it. Well, almost nobody, except for that stupid voice inside my head who’s been pushing me since last year, to do things that aren’t really within my comfort zone… [...]

This is a photo of the podium in iBlog6 I’ve taken last year. I posted this, along with other pictures of the event, in my photoblog… and my caption for this photo was, “Someday, I could be behind this box.” And I was just trying to be witty in my photo captions then… it was [...]

There should be a law against indiscriminate blowing of horns. It is very common that a few seconds’ pause from a vehicle would provoke a continuous blowing of horn from the ones behind it.
