I refuse to blog anymore.
I will, instead, blawg now.
Because I wantu.
This is my blawg. I like to blawg (occasionally). On my blawg I can do/say whatever the hell I want to blawg.
See?
It refers to pretty much every thing I post here. Except the more serious bits. Those cannot fit under the gamut of inanity and emotional atyachar I indulge in. Which means 'blawg' is copyrighted. By me.
Blawg.

Circle, Square ... Circus, Fair
Right. Can someone please debunk the mystery of Times Square for me please? Or even Piccadilly Circus.
Why is it that they attract hoards of tourists and new inhabitants who all want to pose against the background of a giant shiny screen and be photographed? I mean, they're just bloody giant tv screens displaying ads for god's sakes! Why the heck do you want to be photographed with your head lending (hah!) its magnificence to a lousy consumer marketing tactic? Couldn't you just stand in front of your own tv screen and take a photo?! They'd definitely be more intersting!
Are you going to look at that photo years down the line and go, "Oooo lookie! That mcdonald's/samsung/whatevertheheckcompany ad really brought out the colour of my eyes!"? WHAT?!
A magnificent cupid statue, stately architecture that allows for fantastic angles if you will but see them, a sculpture of three horses whinnying on their hind legs and a zillion other more interesting sights to remember and save for the future and people have to go and take photos of bleeding ADS. Not even interesting ones at that!!*
And don't get me started on the desi tourists. Why the fuck do you have to stare?! At other desis that too. Never seen one before or what?!**
*Although I do watch out for this ad for some phone that keeps playing, it has this guy in it who has the most adorable infectious grin.
**She says smiling at them unnerves them to no end ... I'd try that except I can't get beyond wanting to glare and fry them on thestop spot. Grrr
Edited to add: I think the anthem for such people ought to be 'Pardesiyon se na ankhiyan milana'. 'Pardesi referring to pretty much everyonethey do not know personally, even if they are desi.
Edited again to add: Why is it that Trafalgar Square doesn't get as much desi tourist traffic? Is it that intellectuality of the National Portrait Gallery, located right behind TS, staves them off? It's a pity these tourist nuisances aren't like the pigeons flocking around ... else you could do an expansive hand-gesture and watch them go 'phurrrrrrrrr' ... tch.
