Happy Birthday to you!


Hi Bloggie,

Happy Birthday!

Heartiest Congratulations on being 1 year and 1(just) post old!

What's up? Long time no see( or should it be - long time you haven't seen me).

Today, I am getting nostalgic.

Our relationship started on a great note. We had a wonderful start and the promise to have these conversations regularly. If not regularly, then at least, at regular intervals :-). But as you have known from our first conversation itself, I am a procrastinator. The other thing that you don't know (thankfully!) is that I am lazy too. If this is not enough, I am bad at keeping relationships. Too many bad qualities, eh?

You have suffered and lived alone for no fault of yours. Hence, it's time to make amends (from my side). I am sorry and am eager to rejuvenate our relationship. You may have your grudges, grievances, complaints et al. But, first and foremost, I have you and you have me. So please forget(ok, at least try to) the past and rekindle our friendship.

And hey, I want to sing a birthday song for you (that is if you allow me and can bear with my 'wonderful' voice)

Here it goes -


Bar Bar din ye aaye
Bar Bar dil ye gaaye
Tum jiyo hazaroon post
ye hain meri aarjoo
Happy birthday to you....aaha
Happy birthday to you....aaha
Happy birthday my dearest blog
Happy birthday to you

Have a Blast!

Cheers,
Pratik

Finally.....I have started blogging

If ever a competition of procrastinators is organized, I will be crowned as the undisputed 'King' of procrastination :-) . I was planning to blog since ages, but I have started it today. Never mind(I am consoling myself), as they say , 'All is well, that ends well'. Neither I love to procrastinate, nor I like to brag about my frailty. In fact, I am trying to improve myself and the start of this blog is testimony to this :D.
Though I have bored you to the hilt, let me explain you the reasons for the selection of the name 'symbolofsymbol' for the blog. Here the story goes :-
First, I thought of names like 'pratik','myownworld',.... But regardless of my innumerable attempts of giving conventional names to blogger.com, I was unable to get a name, which was not registered as a blog. So then I thought to have name like '%symbol%'. The only reason being that 'Pratik' means symbol. Then a million dollars(?) question cropped up in my mind - what do I symbolize? I thought and thought...but to no avail...I did not find the answer....So I resorted to recursion and my blog was born. Weird name for weird blog written by weird author :-)
