I write to you with some measure of concern. May I first give an introduction to myself. I am you. Difficult to comprehend, but sadly it is a fact of immense importance. I have lived inside you from the moment you took your very first breath, from your very first scream as you entered this world. It is therefore prudent to know that in these circumstances I do become your own voice, your own mind and your own body.

My concern is then of a very legitimate nature. There is within you a desire to write consistently day after day and having this most impossible habit of numbering the days as you plod along. In the early stages of your blog you were warned by your respondents that this practice should be abolished. That it would be convenient and appropriate to title your blogs in the order or reckoning of the content and material that that particular ‘day’ carried. You have willfully disagreed with the suggestion and have adamantly continued to do what others have requested you not to do. Is this a trend in your life - where you do what is exactly opposite of what is asked of you ? My worry is that your obstinate nature could become the source of matters that would in all conditions become harmful to you.

Numerically, the idea of accounting for your reminisces may be an attractive thought. But consider conversely, how magnificent it would be, for the titling of each day to be in consonance with its content -

‘A depressingly depressed day’

‘The medical marvel of miraculous measure’

‘Critical cricket crises’

‘Jaundiced jargon’

‘Mish mashed media mechanism’

‘Chikki chikki chuckled chick’

‘Kasab kouched konviction’

‘ Renzo Rosso Resieled’

‘Indian Idol Intellect’

‘IPL Implications’

‘Words words words ..’

To name justa few examples. What do you think ? They would have been so much more attractive than this stupid mathematics of every ‘day’. You should really give it serious thought.

Another matter that has been troubling me and that I feel deserves your immediate attention ; the factor of your nocturnal activities. Sometimes it would be wise to give just that little more to the object of the pillow, than the luminous sparkle of an LeD screen, which registers your thoughts.

Thank you. You may now if you wish retire for the day.

Love,

Amitabh

Ha .. ha .. sometimes it is good to introspect. Never without reason, but all the same introspect. Keeps one healthy and strong and perhaps balanced.

A balanced approach then to the time of night, when I shall seek permission to leave. It is as is …
