Ling time no see!

I’ve been wanting to write something on my blog for many days now.
Its not that I haven’t written anything, Its just that my blog posts are restricted to short small concise poetry.
Poems that make no sense to some, and yet are relevant to some!
If long textual posts were textual diarrhea, then these small bits could be best categorized as plain-Jane-brain-farts.

Most of the writing I get to do off late are instructions. Simple. Instructions and some more instructions.
Instructions on how to troubleshoot your phone, PC, camera, gadgets that you have and perhaps without knowing why! On some Friday nights, usually the ones which aren’t “dry”, I troubleshoot philosophies of life.
No. I am not from tech support, neither am I the agony uncle, and *checks* definitely not an agony aunt.
My identity is that of a friend. A 4am friend for some, the geeky nerd for others, and a Motorhead helping other fellow motorheads tread their routes.
Thanks to this assignment, I can now blog about what I do off late. I chat, and like the rules of communication suggests, it involves a sender and a receiver, so “We” chat.
To be honest it might not quantify in the same amount of words, but then sometimes all I can reply is just “I understand” and sometime a lazy emoticon.
This writing assignment allowed me the opportunity to write about who all would I like to chat with, why and about what!
This is like an amazing opportunity to chat with anyone from Alexander the great, to Albert Einstein, to Ajmal Kasaab to Christopher Nolan to the legend of Zohan! Wow! What an opportunity to be able to chat with any and many! So much to learn, know, reason! Phenomenal opportunity alright, but if you really ask me who would I like to chat with, it would be the same set of these special special handful of people that I anyway network with.
The set of people who were once infamously lured into buying a blackberry by my evil twin, who looks just like me, and got a blackberry *cough* (just like me!) – So who are these people?
My bestest friend ever, and to her I am either ears, or instruction-pedia.
Now that she is expecting a baby, the amount of instructions have only grown intense. From a few thousands of “Eat this, do this” to perhaps a dozen more (in thousands again) of the “Dont’s” version.
From fielding for the awkwardest of questions, to providing clarification and even clarification on why my responses were slow. Somewhere in the middle of these discussions are candid confessions of what she means to me!

My better half. Sometimes I wonder as to why would anyone coin that term, coz she is anything but the better. Atleast in my case!
She can punch me in my guts, smack a black eye and ironically nurse them as well. A huge chunk of this “chatting” is about me earning black eyes, and fending them. The rest is catching and helping her fill her diary about me. About when I plan to leave, when I plan to eat, if I have taken my medicines, if I have paid the bills and what not. Then there is this tiny bit of updates that I have to carefully decipher. Like I did for remembering our anniversary. 11th of May. Our second anniversary. You might wonder on what gives me the balls to write all this. Well, not everybody gets a Galaxy S4 for their anniversary. So yes. I have earned my brownie points that would help me get away with this! Provided she reads this before the week ends.

My colleagues,
Most of the yapping on phone happens with these blokes. Two chief conspirators who brain washed me into leaving my 10ish years of reasonably successful big brand corporate life. Why? Well to follow the passion and try and create a big brand from scratch! Enter the blokes at PowerDrift.com
A team of 8 motorheads who eat sleep breath automobiles! Discussions, instructions, debate, banter, chit chat, catching up, life, business. All discussed via phones IM. Whether things go right or they go wrong, the messaging session is ALWAYS on, and thanks to someone every one is now equipped with both the phone and the habit to be constantly on the messenger! If you like our videos, then there is a chunk of credit that should go to these messengers which lends us this platform to brainstorm!

My mom and dad,
One might wonder if “old” people really come up the curve to understand smart phones, in my house – They Bloody Do! What’s interesting is that they don’t quite use a PC as much as they use their phone. Their “diary” of tracking me and my routine might now be handed over to my wife, but they still perhaps audit it. Its almost like a proper business school recommended process where there is an auditor confirming every action. This is the bit where at times the role of an instruction dispenser changes. Yes I’ve had my lunch, medicines, and Yes I will be back late but I have the keys, so you can. go ahead and sleep!

And the last bit of many 100s of bikers who chit chat, discuss, plan and at times even gossip!

And with that the blog post ends, and I know I am going to be jhapped for the next 2 hours by each of the guys mentioned above! I will perhaps have to sleep on the couch, without food, and with a blackeye. But yeah.We chat, and I’d continue and like to chat with them!
