The irony of the M.A course is that it hopes to improve your writing skills and usher in fresh, creative thoughts- and leaves you with no time to actually put these ideals into action.
It has been a month since I last updated. And this by one who treats her blog with the enthusiasm of an obsessed amour. One is tempted to compare oneself and ones blog to star-crossed lovers separated by the evil forces of education.
So... is it really worth it?
Spending hours referencing Ezra Pound, ages bent over Marx, eternity researching Ninaz Khodaiji...
Wouldn't updating my blog be so much more satisfying...?
And so here I am rambling away when there are three papers and 2 presentations looming over my doomed skull. Already my Super Ego pulls out her whip and brings out the shackles. It will only be a matter of time before the flagellation begins. But before the sting sets in, I, the Creator, declare that this blog is not dead !
This is The World According to Me . And the world, according to me, is and never will be dead: no matter how much it tries to kill you.

As was Godot; as is India
As it is all the time
Just as Pakistan and just as China,
And no more does anything rhyme.

P.S. Aww.. Education IS the root cause of all misery..

Welcome back!
Looking at the brighter side, you will have earned your degree.
Warning: Dont murder anybody.
Ng: Ahem, be glad I didn't give you a hellfire and brimstone on the sin of gluttony.Education is the process of replacing everything you need to know with everything you don't. :P
And "bad" doesn't begin to describe that one.
Mm:Degree as in first degree murder? Yes, that will probably happen :P
Ahem! clarification - if gluttony has a direct relation to quantity of food, it is physically impossible for me to sin re. I mean can you really imagine anyone eating enormous quantities of food with chopsticks :P I'd strain my fingers into premature arthritis re :)
Yes but I did eat a lot of shellfish, so going by the bible I have sinned :( but so have you na :P
P.S. blame bad joke on empty mind during nothing-to-do-sunday :)
