The Malady...

Aaarrrgghhh.....Many people asked me as to why I wasn't keeping my blog updated regularly...little did they know that I recently contracted a dangerous disease possibly worse than Alzheimer's and AIDS... I intend to write to the American organisation, the Centre for Disease Control(CDC) seeking their help in fighting this deadly disease...after all, the Indian Health Ministry refused to call my illness a "disease", instead calling it a "figment of my imagination"! Maybe I should'nt have bothered Mr. Ambumani Ramadoss, the Health Minister who himself is fighting a malicious disease called "Venugopalacitis".No wonder, I have to turn to the Yankees, after all they are our strategic partners these days, aren't they? So people-to-people contacts are a must in any such arrangement.

You see, over the past couple of days, whenever I sit down to write something, my mind goes blank...as empty as George Walker Bush's head...my grey matter seems to have seeped through...As I then look for divine intervention, none comes my way. After all, God doesn't help those who do not help themselves, or so I heard. What a tragedy!!! Then I wait for the inspiration....the muse to creep in gently(my good friend Sush did say it would work)... ah what a hope!!! It simply doesn't happen. Something was seriously wrong. Desperate times call for desperate measures... by now I was sure that I had contracted something deadly...

15mins later....

I had just got off the call with the health dept. officials...and what an experience it was!!!...Apparently, everyone in the health ministry were too busy in "Operation Oust Venugopal".

Too bad! I then decided to call my American friends and explained to them, my symptons...The doc listened to me carefully and gravely said "Mr.Pratyush, you have 'Writo-blockosis'..."

Yup, you heard right!!!..."Writo-Blockosis",more commonly known as "Writer's Block".

Good ol' Yankees!!...they always have an answer!!!
