frightened...

Hi all,,,, I am back.. not with a bang as they usually say for some legends,,, let it be modified as back with a bore... thou not sure what others feel about this... i think it is a bore thing... to just post a blog for the sake of posting one... nothing special or worthy to be mentioned or posted....but still there is a need for me to post something .. as it is a long time since i posted something and moreover.. i am in the office now.. after a heavy lunch... and my main aim is to see thru these sleepy hours.. by engaging myself in something or the other... here the project related work is a strict no-entrant... so just do something different by letting my situation be known to many of the fellow-bloggers...

Ok.. now into the topic... just after i came back from my lunch..and browsed our local blogs... i was shocked to see a blog post in which one of my colleague met with an accident but escaped unhurt... thanks to the helmet he was wearing.. though he was hesitant to wear one.. he did it. which eventually saved him from heavy damage. This is not the first one i hear within the last few weeks... particularly over the last three weeks.. i have been hearing of various accidents involving my friend, relation... or colleague.. someone or the other.... most of the cases is due to the bad roads or the arrogance of the lorry drivers... beaming their headlight just like a light house...

I usually drive from my residence, in East Tambaram.. to my office Velachery, in my two wheeler... i was comfortable so far.. but over the past few weeks, after hearing such incidents.. now i am more concerned and want to be at the safest side as far as possible..and moreover the bad roads.. and the occassional short spell of rain.. which is enough to fill the potholes in the road... adding to my voes. The road near my office, used to be a good.. wider one.... but that was 4 days ago... today on my way to the office, i noticed that it has shrunk to nearly half its size, due to the work on the storm water drain.. i was shocked to notice that, the yellow line which was drawn in the middle of the road, is now at the border of the road.. quickly losing itself to the sand accumulated in the sideways... and all these two wheelers and four wheelers have made it as a parking lot.. to consume much more space... The good broad road doesnt solve the purpose, it was meant for.!!! what to be done.. everyone says that all these will be only for another two years, and after the infrastructural work... everythin will be fine...but i couldnt find any.. spent nearly 23 yrs in this earth... still everything remains the same....


stop... stop.. stop.. why am i saying all thes things... what is the purpose of this blog.````` yes.. i got it ... it is not about the bad roads ornot about the recklessness of the drivers... and not even about the incidents that i came to hear in the past few weeks......... infact it is to drive away my sleep... not that it has been done... i am stopping it here.... dont want to confuse you further... ( though no one will be reading it )..

now i got fresh.... its time for you to get afreash after going thru this confusing, idiotic words of mine for the past few minutes..... if anyone is patient enough to read till this last line...its a big THANKS . have a hot cup of coffee and get back to work.. if u r soooo patient, then look at this link atleast occassionally.. u will be fed with another interesting!!!!! thing like this.

justification for the name

I think many of you willbe confused as to why have i kept such a name to my blog ( Just a hype, not sure whether anyone else will be visiting this page, other than me. But thats the way people normally say.). didnt i get any other good stuff to name my blog. the fact is that, even i am confused with the same thought. I think I have changed the name of my blog thrice before even making my first post. Iam not impressed with the previous names, even though its all my choice.

I am a very poor writer. Infact this is the first time i am trying something like this. I am sure, my writings are worth enough to find a place only in the dustbin. so, if anyone say it, i can say them thats the reason i have named by blogspace as "Dustbin". So i am justifying the name of the blog by filling it with some worthless stuff.

Let me see, whether i gain something by writing this stuff and go on to become atleast a normal writer.

neway, for the ones who get to read it by chance, thanks for your patience and will update you with some funny stuffs and a very rare useful forward.

Till then, its bye .
