So after many wasted online hours on cricinfo and timesofindia.com, I finally decided to use my internet hours more efficiently and create a weblog of my own. I dont know how this makes my hours more efficient, but I know that after few years, I might come back to this blog and feel a bit nostalgic.
The inspiration to start this came from many quarters, most importantly from some of my friends who convinced me that I could write. So this one goes to proving them wrong!
Who were these friends? Well, we were a group of aspiring MBAs from a *one-time* premium Management Institute in Bombay, NMIMS, who considered ourselves to form the bottom quartile of the class. Apart from the usual comradery at the tea-stall and canteen, the group really came together in the last semister of the course when we decided to make a year book for our batch. I was not the part of the original compilation team, for the obvious reason that none of us, including myself, didn't know that I would pick up the pen (or for that matter edit the word document). Something happened sometime during those days and I discovered that I can use the thesaurus tool of MS Words to my advantage and compile an article about someone I know with an interesting use of puns and sarcasm. So this way the year book was born and a by-product of this was an illusion that I could write.
Days went by, we graduated and went on to work in different cities. The group decided to stay in touch over mails. A common salutation signed by a couple of members was Jai Shri Krishna and this gave the group its name ... JSK was born.
6 years have passed, some of us have relocated in different cities, landed in different jobs. Some of us got married and some even produced the next gen JSK. After many humourous exchanges, philosophical monologues and some sour bitching, JSK still lives on....
And a copulation of modern technology with the social needs of a human being to be in touch, gave birth to this blog that I present to you ...
