Bullied at school

he little knew that i would react with a punch on his belly. even i didn’t. for the frightful and timid guy like me, it was almost impossible to hit the class bully with a punch. but i did, and was satisfied.

the vice principal had decided to use a free period before recess for a boring moral science lecture. the result was a horde of boys and girls doing little but listening to the vice-principal, except for the few unfortunate frontbenchers.

The dying city of Jharia

came across a very interesting post on jharia, near to my home place dhanbad in jharkhand. but as you continue reading, you will soon find yourself witnessing the end of a city that was once sprawling with activity, that with the find of large mines of coal, in those days the principal source of energy.

Back without a bang

yes, i am alive. all you people, who sometimes take pains to go through the crap that i have on my blog, might think where have i disappeared. No, i was very much present in delhi. but as i talked in one of my last posts, was busy with shopping. saturdays and sundays were booked totally for the shopping course (in fact skipped one friday as well for the same).

also my reliance datacard has suddenly developed a glitch that’s unclear to me. while at office, it works fine. at home, it gets connected fine, showing those icons at the quicklaunch. however, not a site opens. soon i found that the problem was faced by many of my colleagues here.

so no blogging for some two weeks now. but as the traffic stats revealed only ten visits yesterday, i was apalled of losing the some dedicated visitors that i have. so here i am blogging from office. fortunately none of the bosses are at office today, so i can work at my pace.
