The food wasn’t expectional, but the decor was interesting.

Airport mornings.

Sometimes it’s all about the sacrifice. Staying up upset, so that someone else can sleep in peace. Shutting up even when you want to talk.

…blogging really is the best platform that a writer can have. Because no one can edit me or tell me what to do. And if I write something good, I can reach tens of millions of people. My circulation is already better than “The Economist” 11 Things about Blogging

So another year has come and gone. Honestly, this year, I had no expectations. Outside of going to buy myself a new desk chair, no presents were in line either. It started around 11:40 p.m. when some of my twitter buddies started their countdown to the birthday, and happy birthday songs exploded at midnight — an extremely pleasant surprise. Followed by a morning breakfast and my day couldn’t have been better.

I’m starting over, for multiple reasons that I will not elaborate here. But it’s time I started a blog that I could be proud of. This blog will aim to be notes and observations. My life however, is more active on Twitter, so feel free to follow: @chiragnd.

A pretty common sight around Turkey, the pole of Simit bread. They’re actually quite good, but again I’m a bread lover. I could do with a better cheese selection though.

Plus, with SaaS, there is another dimension. There is also the requirement to protect user data from each other, not just from external sources. Check out Rudder, who recently managed to show users each others Bank Account info. The problem is much more complex than it seems. If you use Twitter, you will notice that in the last month, it has been affected by a huge amount of spam. It’s not just overhead, no one wants to continue using an application that has unnecessary data and inconvenience.

Right, so no surprises the posts have been few and far between. I have been embracing the online revolution in the meantime. Twitter and fb. It’s amazing what an online presence they give you — we’re also trying that out company-wise, so I’d like to see how we are able to work that into the scheme of things. Other than that, there’s not a lot. Work is pushing along, things are moving in routine, and there are signs it might pick up.

It’s been a while as usual. Things moving along at a fairly slow pace. Everyone’s waiting for everything to pick up, which doesn’t bode well, so to speak. Weekends have been busy off late, though for good reasons. Seem to be regaining good use of my leg again, which is a relief. So, twitter. The new obsession. Cheeky how something that simple, that has been a small part of bigger Web sites — the status update — spurned its own website and apparent new revolution.

It was long overdue, hello to a real weekend! Not that I won’t work at all, but I mean, it’s still really nice, lie in bed all day, catch up on TV shows. Now I need a warm pizza, and maybe some warm company =P Not really much to add…just plan to continue it this way. Cheerio.

Right, so…been a while….and LOTS has happened. But interestingly, I don’t have to type them, because very few people read this, and they should know by now. In any event cough I’m alive and kicking. So, based on one of (rather interesting) comments I received, it is interesting about stereotypes. I mean, just because I blog doesn’t mean I’m truly “blogger” type. And I’ve noticed that there are people who never seem to be heading in this directionand turns out they blog a lot, and rather well.

Well I’ve finally got the green light to get rid of all the “assistances” while walking and beginning minor activity..wohoo! Slowly but surely I’m getting there. Although the folks can’t be bothered…they’re staying cautious, and all I want to do is run around like no tomorrow. Oh, and drive. I miss driving. So I ran a question on chat the other day asking if people thought I was a blog-writing type of person.

So three years and counting and here I am again… Thanks GCJ for reminding me I had a blog out there somewhere, and starting the revolution. No promises on keeping this updated though. Much like one of my favorite TV characters, my life currently revolves around my leg. And tons of sarcasm. You should always be careful what you wish for.
