Amusing A to Z challenge

              I am officially participating in the a-to-zchallenge's A to Z April challenge. Usually, i keep myself away from challenges since - you know - i get cold feet or as a person i read quite aptly put it 'because of my own inhibition', but this seemed like a very easy challenge. As you can see, all i have to do is make the concept of the post something relating to a word starting with the letter-of-the-day and i have got quite a few ideas already. Besides, there is one other thing about why i was so interested in this challenge. If you have noticed my blog's address, you will notice the 'A as in Absurd' part, aptly titled i must say, is surprisingly aligned to the challenge's objective. It surely must be a sign right? So i thought, why not? So there! I even put up the widget yesterday on the right. 


         All of this happened last week. I was very much into this challenge that i started drafting concepts, doing research and other stuff in my office itself! Yeah, I am very dedicated to my office work. But here's the funny part! Today, on a whim, i changed what i wanted to do for the challenge. I dreamed of an amazing story - oh wait! its just so so. I don't wan't to get your hopes up even before i started working on it - that i dreamt about recently and remember the main character and outline of the story even after waking up. Yeah, that is so rare, seriously, i wish i could sleep blog! The more i thought about it, the more magnificient (read somewhat interesting) the story gets. So i decided i will write a novella!

       Ever since i read a novella named 'Harry's hut' written by this guy, i wanted to write one. Since i am more into myth, magic and other sci-fi stuff the story will be in those lines. Damn, no more spoilers! So expect stuff like that and encourage me to write better. I started working on it just a few hours ago and although i wrote only very little, like 3 para's, i am really enjoying this! Well, this stuff is like eating a fresh delicious pizza to my mind or rather as HIMYM fans would say, it's like eating a sandwich! Couldn't let that one go :D

************************************

Coming to the hyped promised comic strips in every post ( I already forgot to include it in my previous post though *silence of shame* ), here's the first one! Everyone who is a fan of comic strips or not, knows about Calvin and Hobbe right? Ever wondered what's their first comic strip? Well, savor this!


Warning: Beware! These comic strips are more contagious than Bird-flu :P

M loveeee!

            When compared to my pals, i have caught up on the Internet very early. And memes are one of the first addictions that i had. Sure watching videos would've been more fun but because of the bandwidth limitation, i had to limit that and you know how fast net-centres were and still are. But of course i am one to talk because any bandwidth would have been insufficient at the time or even now for that case. Now everyone knows about memes due to the popularity of rage comics but i am talking about pre-rage comics era of comic strips. The main difference between the two used to be situational comedy in comic strips and intense expressions in rage comics. Although that too seem to have merged. But who can forget Garfield, Calvin and Hobbes, xkcd, cyanide and happiness or the legendary Dilbert? When i bought my first smart phone, one of first few apps i downloaded were for Xkcd and Cyanide and Happiness and some others. Now i rarely follow them because i am caught up in too many things. So today i was flipping my news feed on facebook and came across this strip!


       I never thought it would come to this. I mean that's one sadistic piece of s**t. That in Cyanide and Happiness?? What is the world coming to? But out of curiosity i checked the comments and one comment blew my mind! This one..


        I broke into laughter after that. Its hell of a lot better than an offensive comment, don't you think? I just love these comic strips or rage comics or whatever you call it. So from now on i will try and put a meme at the end of future blogs. Look forward to them :D
