Loads about Nothing

Hello Everyone
Today, I have nothing to share. Absolutely nothing. Zilch. Nada. Zero.
With nothing to share whatsoever, and no idea what to write, I have decided I will write my blog nonetheless. This blog is therefore full of no useful information. It definitely is full... of words, sentences, and even its very own paragraph - but it doesn't have any information in it.
Having said that, I would like you to keep reading, and keep commenting on this blog of no importance. All the time you have spent reading this post has been spent without gaining any information. I won't say it's time wasted, cos some wise-ass will inform me that maybe they were here to waste time in the first place -> so it still would fulfill the purpose -> and so it won't be time wasted.
Now that I am getting on to the second paragraph, I feel that it really is time I stop writing. I mean... I have nothing to say... yet I am going on, and you are continuing to read. This has to stop at some point. It is criminal to go on, and a criminal I am not.
And lets be honest, I did warn you right in the beginning that you aren't going to get anything out of this post. No pearls of wisdom, no what-have-you's. So I'm not a bad guy after all... the only one who fell for a trap that never was... the only sucker who suckered himself into reading this... is YOU.

Freedom Beckons

So the monday morning blues are not yet over... and its tuesday already. Maybe the blues will carry for a day or two longer, until the sweet thought of the next weekend starts to emerge.
Oh the drudgery of our daily work!

After a long day
not much work not much play
the clock comes close to 5 o'clock
the heart is ready to burst with song
the droopy eyes start opening up
and energy flows in the body anew
Yes, its time to go home.

On Freedom

The US is a fast moving country. It's admirable how open minded this nation is. Also, the freedom enjoyed by the people is great. Unfortunately, with a lot of freedom - come people willing to trample and misuse that freedom. While we can put up many checks on people, there's no real way to determine which normal person may become psychotic tomorrow, and what's going on in people's minds.

I share in the sorrow of the shootings at Va. Tech. Also, my wife studies at Columbia University and I count my blessings no such thing happened here in New York.

The sad but true part is, with great freedom, come great psychos. I don't believe there's a way of changing that.

Happy First Anniversary

So... it's 15th of April, and yours' truly's wedding anniversary! Yes, I'm married, and yes, its just my second blog and i've let the cat out of the bag!

Well, so a month back, my wife declared that she had run into the perfect anniversary gift for me.
That, to a single person, would sound like music to the ears. Unfortunately, my friends, it is not so in reality. Immediately the stress of finding an equally wonderful gift for my lady was turned on. My dearly beloved didn't mince words in telling me I better find her an equally wonderful gift (heck, I didn't even know what she'd got me !)
The tension was high, and being an unromantic fellow (like most men?), I had the daunting task of finding her something awesome.

So finally a few days before our anniversary, I went over to Bloomingdales and picked up some golden earrings - which I hoped and prayed and used law-of-attraction on - that my wife will like. Also some body shop perfume thingys. Also a restaurant reservation at a highly rated NY restaurant, planned a carriage-ride across central park and finally tickets to the Lion King. There must be **Something** out of this she will like a lot - I figured.

So anyway people - that is how I have gone through my first anniversary. While I'm still in the middle of it, I must say, it has been a good experience - everything has gone well, and my wife has liked all the gifts. Only thing that couldn't happen was the ride across the Central Park.

In the end, I would like to say, to all men - be brave guys - with a little planning, you too can make it through your anniversaries.

PS: The gift, by the way, which my wife got me was an aquarium. Odd and unique as it is, I did really like that!

Hello World! Senseq's first Blog

Hello World
The first words of any computer program, and my first words on my first blog!
So after calling myself a techie over the years, I was somewhat ashamed when it occurred to me that I don't have a blog of my own. Especially since I consider my life to be quite out of the ordinary (isn't everyones?)
So here I am, starting out on writing my own blog. A little apprehensive - feeling as though I'm speaking to a massive mass of people... better be careful of what I write... better think twice about what I'm writing. But trying to get a flow nonetheless.
So here's to my first 'baby step' to the world of blogging.
"Hello World" to the world of blogging. "Hello World" to all the people out there reading this.
I arrive.
