Moving Day

Moving Day is here, folks!


Personally speaking, I hate moving. It comes with so many ifs and buts that noone warns you about.

Like, what do you do with that bag of plastic covers you have been collecting for the last 100 years. You cannot just throw them away.

What about all those free guide maps and train tickets you collected on your Eurotrip? Surely, you will get around to making that scrapbook out of that some day?

And that jar of olives. There are probably insects which have made that their home. Can we just uproot them like that?

Noone tells you that you will be adding to chemical pollution when you throw all those expired medicines away. 

And noone warns you that bubble wrap from the Amazon package which you got 720 days ago is not going to be used for "protective packaging" ever.

That old mobile phone charger whose mobile has gone awol long back? What do you with that? Throw it away?

And that digicam. How will you tell the digicam, that it's not cool any more? You moved on to *shudder*, a DSLR.

But the worst effect of moving has got to be Address Change. There is a begging need for a handbook on how to get address changed for the million places where we give our address - phone 1, phone 2, Tata Sky, Internet, Gas, Passport, Aadhar, Bank 1, bank 2, Bank 3, Bank 4 where we go only once an year, Harvard Business Review subscription which we never read, electricity, grocery delivery, blah blah and blah.

In short, moving is hard.

And that's why, this move took so long. No. Moving houses was still ok.

Moving from Blogger to Wordpress. That's the real hard one.

And no good day as birthday to do this. So yep, we are moving to a new address.

Please please please change your subscriptions to the new one.

We are called Preekonomy. And you can find us at www.preekonomy.wordpress.com


See you there! :)

Them 90s Things - 1 - iTV Music Channel

Starting a random series of all things from a 90s childhood, just so I have a record of these memories for posterity. Do you remember a channel called iTV?  The 1999 Cricket World Cup was when our extremely middle-class, government quarters colony rose to the challenge of cable tv. Till then, we were happily adjusting our antennas and watching wholesome family entertainment on the two channels of DD1 and DD2. Then came the cable wale bhaiya, with his fancy earring, a few TV guides stacked under his arms along with long ropes of cable, promising unlimited entertainment for the entire colony. And just like that, we all got lured. Cable TV bought with it a lot of changes, many of which I assume will get covered in this series. But, today's post is about 1 particular memory which every 90s kid can relate to. A huge letter I revolving on the TV in anticipation of a new song being chosen. Yep. The iTV generation. Not MTv. It was all about iTV. I still don't know what that channel was

Drumrolls and All That

In crass Hindi, this moment would have been aptly defined as "Laut ke buddhu, ghar ko aaye".  Exact translation would mount to "Fools return home" and that's what this post is. So, after taking a break from work, doing a second Masters, getting a job in Singapore and moving countries, I am back on the blog.  Who would have thunk? An year back, I had no idea this is what I would be doing in an year. But then again, do we know what we will be doing an year from now?  Lesson learnt. No planning, no guessing.  Just keep exploring, keep doing new things, keep learning, keep meeting new people. Things will happen. Trust. Like a fool (who returned home!) So, while I discover this part of my life, Singapore, I thought I need the blog more than the blog needs me. Because moving countries is not in the least as glamorous as it sounds.  There's the whole deal with selling all belongings which you have hoarded lovingly over the years. A

Letters to the Upparwalla!

(Wow! BlogAdda made my day! :) ) Prologue: I have been SO so SO so lazy, busy and blank, that I stopped writing posts altogether.
