It has been quite a while since I have blogged here. Well the reason is not that I was so busy that I did not find that couple of hours every week to write.. it was not that I was exiled into the Gautamano bay, and had no access to internet… it is not even the fact that I was not active on Internet… in fact, I was never so active on the Net, ever since I first started browsing around 15 years back, as I was last 2 months.. then what stopped me from blogging??
Blame it on the new sexy babes in the online space – Facebook and Twitter. Since the time I got active on Facebook and Twitter, I hardly find time for any other thing online, especially writing at one go and blogging about 500 words of my thoughts. I am all over drooling over these babes and I have access to them from my mobile phone too.
Though the core feature offering of Facebook or Twitter is ‘Status Update’ it has transcended the update feature. People update their status, remark on others update, follow, write on walls, poke, gift, buy&sell, etc, etc, etc… thus it eats into every one’s internet time.
While the internet broadens day by day in terms of its offerings, and evolves from 1.0 to 3.0 versions of web, the user’s time has fairly remained static. The number of users is increasing – but how much has the average internet time of a user increased. The increase would have been at expense of time spent on other activities, but also now since the user has a lot of options on the net, the time spent on each option would have decreased, with the new options taking more of their time
Also the access to Facebook and Twitter through the mobile phones, is sounding the knell for more time intensive online activity like blogging, wherein the user best experiences it when browsing from a computer/laptop and also should be having access to the systems to type out around 500 words of their thoughts.
I am sure most of the fringe bloggers would soon fade away from serious blogging… and would he happy to type in a few lines called micro-blogging (phew… the next in thing could be micro-mini-blogging). Only a few would survive, and I want to be one of them.
I wish that my fancy for Facebook and Twitter are a passing phase, and soon would settle into low involvement in terms of time spent on these sites
In the meantime, I get back to my work; and hope that the classic blogging strikes back, and come with some innovative stuff

'Jai Ho' Congress Party
Following a tight pitch against local agency Crayons, Mindshare Delhi snapped the Indian National Congress (INC) media account estimated to be worth US$15 million.
The agency will be handling the political party’s electronic media campaign in the run up to the general elections to be held from 16th April onwards in stages.
Mindshare will focus primarily on TV and radio – reaching out to the ‘common man’ – which constitutes the majority of the voting population in the country.
The account is led by client leadership and will draw heavily on resources from the exchange teams at Mindshare.
“To be associated with a campaign that will help form the government to run the country for the next 5 years is a great privilege and honour. The entire country is talking about this campaign.” said Chirantan Chandran, partner of client leadership at Mindshare.
Also Congress Party has bought the royalty rights for the AR Rahman song - Jai Ho... This song would be used by the party during this polls. Will it bring 'Oscar' to Congress party is something that time will tell... until then they will be known as 'Scumdog Millionaires' :)

Warmer Weather = Opening of FL room
This past weekend it was in the mid 60's here in Northern Delaware.
The cats were frisky, and the warm breeze beckoned us to open up the doors, windows and get to unpacking and reorganizing our Florida Room.
Chloe loves being out in the FL room... and so do we!
The four big picture windows and two sliding doors really open it up as if you were outdoors, but with the comforts of being indoors.
Above & to the right is a hall seat from my Grandma Neal. It has been in our family for at least 5 generations. It was passed from my Great-Great Grandfather Fry to Great Grandmother Deaven to Grandma Neal to my dad to me. Also I inherited a bunch of old chairs this one is part of a set of 2.
My not so old hammock swing chair and Chloe's W.T.P. push toy (thank you Renu & Serita), chair 2 of 2, an old two-drawer stand, and coffee table with sides that pull up and lock (perfect game and puzzle table). This couch is from Dave's grandmom's house. I think I may be the only person in our family to really see the beauty in this couch. And in true Italian fashion, I believe it had the plastic on it until recent years... So I am happy to say, Thank You to Mrs. Zambino for keeping it under plastic - it is in perfect condition, and is the most comfortable lounge couch ever!
Grandmom Zambino's Italian Lounge Couch and an Antique Blue Chair from my Great Grandma Deaven's house. This chair has a twin and a couch that I am told are lavender in color. I'm not quite sure who got those in the family, but they are around (I hope). I remember this chair from when I was very small. I used to run my fingers all over the designs cut into the material. It is the kind of chair that when you sit into it, you sink back into it - the seat is very long and it's quite bouncy (perfect for little kids to sit in with feet sticking out, and bounce, bounce, bounce). And in the back of the I.L.C. is a very old and very cool Tiffany style lamp which was to my surprise - very, very heavy.
I have decided (and Dave has accepted - at least for now) that the FL room is the place for us to put a lot of these old pieces of furniture. Our garage is full up to the brim of items from 4 other houses - all here because of a loss of sorts. My mom and Dave's grandmom have passed on and two of my grandmom's have downsized and moved to a warmer location geographically. And all within the last year and a half.
It's a weird feeling of loss to have so many of our maternal figures not with us anymore on a regular basis. So I am feeling the need to surround us with things of theirs for now. I know that Dave hopes to get rid of a lot of things - and we will... I only want to keep the things we can put out around the house (& seasonal stuff to put out). And the rest should go to people that would enjoy them as well.
So - maybe I'll open an Etsy shop for the cool "vintage" things I come across that family members don't want. There is some cool crap in those boxes...
I can't believe what grandma's keep locked up in storage...
