Turn for the worst

This blog, after 984 posts related to IT, and some creative copy-pasting, will turn its attention to me, the person copy-pasting. The man behind the keyboard of plagiarism. No this is not to raise awareness on media issues in India and how TOI have in the past stolen many a pics from innocent geek photographers,equipped with blogs and twitter accounts, and used them on their paper without paying or giving due credit. No this is not a fight for your rights, or mine. This is a beginning of something beautiful. What, you may ask? I've got nothing. You have wasted your time and my time by asking that question. Indians never learn but thankfully have a short memory, thanks to state sponsored costly booze, particularly in hard-working, low-earning southern states like TN and Kerala. My heart goes out to those people, the ones with short memory. I remember watching Memento and thinking wow, what a genius, no not the guy who finds the killer using his notes despite bad memory, but the director of the movie - Nolan. Years later he made a masterpiece named Dark Knight, poetry on screen, too bad the movie was not recognized by critics, as I thought he had got movie making down to a manual. As for guys with short memory, god bless, its fantastic to go through life without remembering anything - the people you met and the conversations you had. Life without memory begins with accepting the present.
