Last year, the same month, I had proudly presented an article on how to remove writer’s block. And now, I needed it the most! Oh! Don’t worry, this is not going to be another sadistic post. :)

I wonder whether its the twitter activity that has hindered me from writing the posts. Every time I think of something, I realize I could summarize it in 140 words or even less. As per many blogs providing blogging tips, this finding has been true. And of course, I am writing this post now, after few days of being inactive on twitter!!

with 4 comments

Another potpourri is overflowing from my mind today. Its been a long break. I had been to Colombo, Pattaya and Thailand.

I had promised the readers this and that, but I am late now. I thought of publishing the thoughts whenever it surmounted, but twitter came to the rescue. Is it a rescue? I do wonder. Rather it absorbed most of my ideas by pulling in tweets from me, whenever I wanted to post. And that too from the time of Olympics. Read the rest of this entry »

I guess so. Its more than one week I haven’t posted anything on this blog. I know. Its not the writer’s block. Just that I was not having access to net. I will try to be back soon with a bang…
