Taking a short non-commercial break

-


Dear all,

I'm taking a short non-commercial break for a few days from blogging. I may not be able to post on a regular basis or visit your blogs. No. I've got no brain tumour or anything and I'm not being rushed to the hospital. Neither am I leaving you all to go for a honeymoon to Mauritius so un-announced. I've two major things coming my way this week and I need to put in my maximum effort in there.

1. My Creative Director said he'd review me on all the work that I've done do far. And that means I might be confirmed and given a pay-hike this month. It also means, he's going to screw my happiness and say I'm not creative enough or worse even, worthy enough to continue working, which in other words means, I'll have to continue as a trainee Copy Writer for another few months. My knees are going weak and I feel a lump in my throat. Am I falling sick?

2. This is something more important - I've been contemplating on raising a social issue to the attention of the media (I'm sorry I can't reveal what it is). Couldn't decide how I should go about doing it. A couple of my friends who are in the media said they're interested and would be willing to help me out. A lot of data mining and research work need to be done on that. So, I'd need to spend as much of my time as possible on this one.

Hope things go well. I'd need all your prayers and well wishes.

Mean while I'd request your attention to my other blogs viz.

Ekan leanrs to sing... (A blog where I regularly post songs sung by me-self)
Just Gibberish (A blog where I've posted some of my creative writings like poems and short stories)
Shutterbug clicking away... (Where I've posted my experiments in photography)
Where the roads take me... (Where I've posted travel writings on my various bike trips)

I'll be posting in my music and photo blogs every now and then 'coz that doesn't take me much time to do it. Also, I'll be dropping in your blogs every now and then.

I'd be more than happy to see you in my other blogs too.


Yours truly,
Ekan

Ok! So here I go. This is my this week's post for ' Sunday In My City '. First of all, thanks to Unknown Mami  who introduced such a wonderful concept to me. For people like me who are interested in photography this is a celebration. I have chosen my favourite weekend spot in my place - the Shangumugham Beach. I have many pleasant memories of this place. This was a regular weekend hangout for my family when my Dad was alive. I still remember playing in the sands with my sister when we were little kids. Anyways... Let me not go into that story now. To begin with, let me take excuse for my rather long post this is going to be. There are around 34 pics. that I'd posting in this. I thought  of getting only around 10 pics. but ended up taking 40 + pics. Couldn't decide which not to include. So after much thought and re-thoughts here I'm, presenting to you all my favourite weekend hangout in 29 pics. Kanayi Kunjiraman's 'Nude' This is one of the first...

The story of my Cat and an Award!

I'm out and out an animal person and my most favoured pet is a dog. And I got my first dog, Tasha, just a few months back. People who have been following my blog for a while might know this about me already. But for those who are new to my blog and to my existing readers who have missed out on some of my earlier posts, here's a list of my earlier posts you might like to take a peek at: 1.  The Rescue 2.  OMG! I've sinned! 3.  My new Pup - Tasha 4.  Baby = Puppy??? 5.  Why is it better 2 have a dog than a b'friend/g'friend? 6.  The ride 7.  Dog Vs Cat 8.  Tasha'a Day Out 9.  OMG! I have PMS??? And all this is an evidence for how excited I was about my new pup. And in that excitement, I ignored my cat which has been around our family since 3 years now. I realised it only when someone mentioned my cat in her comment for my last post.  And I'm so thoroughly ashamed about this. Before Tasha came into my life, I come back fro...

Hi All, I'm trying to make this post look like a personal mail to you all. This has been one of the most happiest days of all and since I cannot be sending a mail to all of you personally, I'd rather revert to this space where I can get you all together. I was feeling very blue today and decided to spend my evening at a bar where I can see real human beings around me. Now I don't mean to discredit the support that any of you have rendered me. But... Hope you can understand. I mean, how long can a person be happy with just virtual companions? So with the soul purpose of seeing real-life human beings, I walked into a bar and ordered a Haywards 5000 beer. That's my personal favourite since it is a strong one. I don't take any hard drinks unless the occasion is such. And I don't like to get drunk at any moment in my life. It really scares me to get drunk. I'd shamelessly confess this to you all. A couple of beers is enough to make me feel high and anything ...
