Yeah, the guy in the corner, thats me

A plenty of people offline and online often ask me why have I kept the name of my blog ‘Thats Me In The Corner’ and the subtitle as ‘Losing My religion’. The primary reason being that when I was thinking about the name, this song was playing on my computer.

Losing My Religion” is a song recorded by the rock band R.E.M. from their 1991 album Out of Time. I have faint memories of listening to this song just for its musical pleasure when I was nine. The times when I couldn’t even understand the lyrics of an english song. Then, I think for many years, however, I’ve misunderstood the meaning of this song.

Life sucks

Oh My God. Don’t look at me like that. I know I have been a sucker when it comes to blogging. Yeah, I am one lazy bastard. Or I would rather call myself the biggest procrastinator of the world.

Only a few days back did I realize that I own a blog of my own after receiving a few threatning calls saying they’ll cut my arms and legs, rape me brutally and then leave me to die if I don’t update my blog soon. Now, I would obviously won’t welcome that kind of treatment and here I am :p .

Firstly, a very happy new year and all the other zillion festivals between November 21st and today to the suckers who aren’t in touch with me :p .

2006 from the very beginning has been a bitch for me. Firstly, the incident on 31st :|. I can’t possibly clearly state what happened on 31st december as that can put me into a very big trouble ( my parents read my blog :p )but to all the carrot heads who still aren’t in the right mind if I am sane or not I have a message for them - “Assholes, I was only drunk. Stop calling me about it. Its already more a month”. After this comes my pre boards. Trust me they sucked like anything. 23 days left for ‘Boards’ and I am spending more time counting days than studying. A hell lot of pressure and tension to go through :(.
As if this wasn’t enough my best friend is angry with me for an unknown reason. If she’s reading this I would like to say I am extremely sorry if I have hurt you and that wouldn’t be repeated. Atleast tell me the reason. (Others don’t ask me about it. Its personal. Huh .. are you supposed to write personal things in your blog ?)

Now, guys guys guys. Stop bugging me about updating my blog. Its my fucking blog and I am fucking responsible for it. And I will update it only when I am in the right mood. So mind your own businesses :p. Just read whats going on with my life. Atleast feel pity for me and transfer a few dollars in my paypal (chinmay.d@gmail.com). I can use a holiday you see. Thats enough of whining for now. See ya guys later. Bbye.
