Just another way to post an entry...

He was staring at the time in the right bottom of his monitor. It showed 10.37pm. Damn it! The day was about to end in 80 minutes and he had promised the world to post a blog entry on that day. Was it possible? Of course it was. But on what should he write about? His mind was racing…

Can it be on the IPL matches? Nah! Everyone is writing on that. Newspapers too carry a lot of weight age. But should he at least tell them that he is going to watch Chennai vs Bangalore in two days? hmmm… Maybe. No. Too boring.

Something on the vacations he is having? Nothing much to write though. All he is doing is sitting with his computer or TV. What about the swimming classes he is undertaking? He hasn’t learnt anything concrete yet to tell them na.

The Jaipur blasts? The US elections? The 123 deal? Nope! very serious topics those are. There is nothing very interesting in his personal life too of late to tell. God this is going to be tough! Why the bloody hell did he promise a blog post then? Wait a minute! He can write about his birthday na. No nothing special this year.

Suddenly his thoughts started vacillating… Birthday. 21 already. If only the girl was ready to marry!! Hey why didn’t I cut a cake today?? Grown up? Hmmm… Hey have to reply to all the wishes I got in Orkut. Almost forgot. Man I choose a great day to write a blog post didn’t I? Bad. Should be doing better things on a birthday. Better like?? Hmmm… Chatting with friends? Maybe. Hey get back!! You have an unfinished job at hand!!

Yes he did. So on what topic to blog? A story yet again? Yes that’s the only option. All his stories have been well received till date. So what made them tick? Is it because of the intriguing plot or because of the comical side applied to it? Maybe because of the standard of English used? Nah… The comments he got for the last post…

“…only the language seemed forced.”, “…and whats with the new thesaurus of yours.. or are you using an online version..”, “…ana simpler english le ezhudhina engalukkum sulabam”

By the way, what was so tough in that post? Isn’t the meaning of ‘conjecture’ anybody’s guess? How secretive can the meaning of ‘surreptitious’ be? Didn’t the usage of ‘succinct’ make the paragraph brief?

Well well…The blogs are for the readers so he had to get back to the simpler words which are in no way going to affect the post or the flow anyways.

As he sat thinking, a sudden urge in him made him to look at the time in the right bottom of his monitor. It was 11.17pm. His eyes then glanced to the monitor screen that had a Word document newly typed. A tinge of smile came back to his face as he looked at the document. Yes! He had done it. A new post was ready all by its own. On time, for needed to write his diary entry too before the day ended. He edited and reedited the post and copy pasted it into his blog. The day ended, satisfactorily.
