Nice blog!

Hey I’ve tagged you for a meme…it’s not compulsory, but it would be great if you could do it.
Thanks!
Hahha.. u really crafty at yr aliteration. U a linguist major?
@Mira:
Ah! Only if I could have had a major in linguism or literature! No, am not a linguist or anything remotely connected to it.
haha.. wats yr major then? Btw, i’m a linguist major. Am just hunting around people of my category. Tryin to network info… Hahah… dyer know any linguist/ litreature students around here? =D
hey, I have tagged you for a movie meme. It will be great if you could take it up.
i like your blog and i read your comments and agreed with you talking to Lucy from the Peanuts. Anyways would you like to link sites?
I didn’t know you were psychic! HELP ME!
Do I, or do I not get into XLRI et al. for next year?
@Labiamajora:
Now u know. I’d be glad to help u in any way…
If u want to know whether you can or can’t get into XLRI, then I couldn’t possibly answer that question knowing nothing of ur academic skills.
However, if u wanna know if u may or may not get into it, all I can say is u’d do good getting into it.
i am looking hard for words to express how thrilled i’ve been the past 10 minutes going through your blog but words elude me right now. Its like my mind on someone else’s page… which is cool coz i very rarely get this feeling. i am just wondering how did you find me? but its good that u did so now i have something new to read… by the way lemon tree and catcher… should be two posts on my blog too but I am shocked to discover that they are not and you got them!
HI, Nice work done by you, keep it up. I am a web developer by profession from Bhubaneswar
Your scribing is decently tolerable (Not that one is being forced to read it, as you would like to point out). I chanced upon your blog while trying to find readable reviews on Manoj Das’ magical book (All you did in your ‘review’ was to copy a few paras from the book itself, it seems). About the MTV audition… Nilkhil Chinnappa is a friend of my brother, and he said he didn’t remember any such incident happening. He would, coz characters like the one you purported to be, are the ones they delight in selecting.
Anyways, what screws up everything is the way you describe yourself. PREJUDICED BRAHMIN. I’m an Oriya living abroad. I got no business to bother. But somehow, for reasons you would best understand, I could not refrain from wasting 5 minutes for crappy people like you. Arrogant Oriya Brahmin (as if that means something)… I pity you. I know you will be delighted to hear this, if what you wrote about yourself is actually true (you love provoking, dont you?). I would love to hear from you.
@Kharavela:
Thanks for commenting on the blog. The id Kharavela is impressive. You are one up.
The post you are referring to about ‘Chasing the Rainbow’, was not even a review. If you notice, it’s been posted under ‘Experiences’. I’m hardly anybody to review the work of Mr. Manoj Das. It would be a shame.
The post on MTV Roadies again has been posted under ‘Fiction’ and not under ‘Experiences’. I’m once again impressed by the fact that you know Mr. Nikhil Chinappa. I’ve nothing against him or Mr. Raghu Ram. The post itself doesn’t mention any of them. I watch them on TV because I like and admire them.
As for describing me as prejudiced and arrogant, it’s true. Very true in fact. And I’ve no idea why it should provoke you. I’m sorry that you wasted precious minutes of your life on my shitty blog. And I’ve replied to this comment of yours only coz you’d mentioned that you’ve love to get a reply. I can’t break the heart of a fellow Oriya, can I?
Cheers!
If you liked Catcher in the Rye you should watch a movie called Igby Goes Down. It is perhaps the closest adaptation to Catcher and the Rye i have ever seen.
I hope you would do your bit towards the following…

hi
what you mumbled/muttered over there on ‘a bit of me’ (tch tch!) on my blog snatched me away from my world for a few mins….
have not still explored ur space, i.e. u r blog, but I somehow decoded that u r a crafty human crammed with wickedly witty veins stuck mesmerised willingly in the clutches of words …gossamerish clutches
i can see u have a piece on RKN…COOL!
will check u out soon…so HOW ABOUT…..fill in!
Jyo
Hhmm… I’d fill in the blank but I see that you don’t subscribe to the Page-Brin logic and am not very fond of using the Yet Another Hierarchical Officious Oracle. So, unless one of us changes our affiliation, it’d be difficult to put the right words in. Hope I’m on the right track.
‘Subscription’ locks one in a comforting yet confoundingly constraining situation
am a free-minded soul with boundaries drawn around me so that I could remain disciplined (am sure u know EXISTENTIALISM)
n I think affiliation should not suppress that carnival of words efforting in to break out
lol, gawd, I am lovin this…
going back to my presentation…cya in a while
