The History Of M&M

In the late 80s when Manik & Me met in the park as babies we had this idea of opening a company. Both young enthusiastic babies, both had potential, ideas decided it would be a .com and the name would be yum & yum but alas! Both fell asleep so the first corporate meeting ended with a snore of thanks by both the chiefs.
In the early 90s again another meeting took place this time we decided what the content would be and the name changed to Chum&Chum.

In the year 1995 another corporate meeting took place this time everything was finalized and the name was changed to M&M. We then included Anand and Donu on fukat basis to handle the site design and finance respectively.
Then the official launch of the website took place on the 20 of July 2001 at midnight by President George Bush and Atalji. And the inauguration of the site ended by a yawn from the chief editor. Jyada fekene main kya jaata hai.

The Empty Page

What to write? A million words in mind but nothing on paper. Scattered thoughts but nothing concrete. Source of inspiration, nothing. Should I write about a song, I am listening to. Or the ones that I want to. What to write? It’s not a writer’s block. It’s just nothing. Should I write about love? Or what I hate. What to write? How about a poem? Or a song? What should it be about? What to write?  How about a joke?  “Knock knock”, who’s there?  "Nothing." What to write? How about nothing.

Getting married.

A guy like me getting married is unthinkable for people who know me. The whole concept of holy matrimony according to me is completely inevitable, in a land called India at least. So why the surprise I wonder? People change for better or for worse but they do change. Am I sounding matured? If yes, I have changed. If no, you are still the same.

Shopping is life, life is shopping

Our marriage shopping is over, we got married! Reason for more shopping... my brother's marriage shopping, then casual shopping, then birthday shopping, then his bro's marriage shopping... two people don't seem to be affected by recession... better worded - two people have gone crazy after recession.
