Meanwhile (off Gawker’s blog?) I found this Steven Colbert idea –
“If this is truly
Cote d'Ivoire, be very afraid.
Good friend – middle-class
“This will last till Wasabi opens again.”
Momentary lapses of reason? Skating away? Learning to fly? Naaah ... just too old to rock'n'roll, too young to ...

The centre no longer holds
The din inside my head is yet to die down. I can’t bring myself to write about IT. Nothing else seems important, though. Most of the posts that show up on Bloglines seem irrelevant. Yet there always seems to be more information, more points of view to assimilate.
The Wasabi quote will sting a few like, well, wasabi.
ReplyDeleteJAP,
ReplyDeleteThought this might raise your spirits:

Peace out.
Krishna, good point.
ReplyDeleteRichie, give me your e-mail. You here this winter, like you'd mentioned earlier?
J.A.P.
Hahaha ... its so true that it scares me more.
ReplyDeletewhere's the obligatory post-dhaka post?
ReplyDeleteokay so sue me, but i'm a little sick of this.
ReplyDeletei know exactly what you mean! i hate the 9/11 paralells though. especially this one:

Well, victims are victims everywhere, wasabi or wannabe, Taj or trains. What was different was the FACE of terror, caught in action. That will remain imprinted even when the sushi is digested, I think.
ReplyDeletetouche on the wasabi thing....
ReplyDeletethe attack NZ is funny but probably not appropriate..... actually attacking Bangladesh or Nepal would be more like it....really weak, no global backers...but can be linked to the act in a contorted way....
plan to be a regular visitor to your blog
Just wanted to send in a quick update- India's First book on corporate blogging written by top CEO blogger Rajeev Karwal and social media researcher Preeti Chaturvedi titled "Corporate Blogging in India" was launched at the Oxford Bookstore in Delhi on the 10th of Dec. A hardback version of the book, priced at Rs 345 is available at all leading bookstores. We have created a blog for the same at Corporate Blogging in India. If you don't find a copy at some bookstore, please order the same through our website www.wisdomtreeindia.com
ReplyDeleteLucky if the centre ever held... we only seem to keep thinking or wishing that we are not barbaric any more! Sigh. (btw I am an innocuous occasional commenter and regular reader who has been rebuffed by you each time I wrote a comment. No matter, I like what your blog anyway! Happy 2009...)
ReplyDeletewrite, o desultory one, write.
ReplyDeletehappy new year
-shakester (aka vAgue)
Udayan, update now that it HAS re-opened?
ReplyDeleteCristina / Deborah, thank you. Do I need to take out insurance to ensure your continued presence?
eB, de Dhaka Diaries be DONE. Maybe in Feb?
S, sick of what, exactly?
Ricer, I agree
Orpu, make that star a 5-point suppository

Sucharita, so you're saying this time it was different because of TV? I think Barkha D loves you.
ReplyDeleteComrade Chakra, how about you bomb Nepal (B'desh is out, eB would be offended!) and I invade NZ? Always wanted to see their Southern Alps (before we bomb the s**t out of them)
Wisdom, is your book printed on absorbent paper? Then you could sell it through Spencer's if we can't "find it in a bookstore".
ys, don't recall rebuffing you. Sad to say, don't recall you either, but shall check back.(Would that I were buff, but I continue to be un-buff)
Happy New Year.
Shakester, Happy New Year to you too. Alas, this is all the writing I can muster energy for.
J.A.P.
a little late for this comment now, i guess. nobody is talking about it anymore. as usual. or maybe they are and i've shut it all out quite effectively. that's what i had been a little sick of. people talking about it all the time, that is. come to think of it, i was getting sick of the violence inside my own head.
ReplyDeletemaybe you should blog about it now.
