An update, for those who care, on my life the last week and the mess within. Selected entries. Hate myself for yet another post with numbering. Worked well in exams all my life, and some habits just don't die away. Also, will get out of the rut and write on something a liitle more interesting than my own self sometime, but for now, all you get is a first-person description on how the chaos in my life continues to increase, irreversibly if I may add. Apologies. It's kind of hard to take the second law of thermodynamics head on.

Launched a full-scale war on bugs. Hunted them down to the last one and eliminated all traces of life in them - lethal chemical weapons employed. Veni, Vedi, Veci. Operation Genocide successful. Sreenidhi was right, after all, atleast till this point of time.

Got rid of real bugs, only to have software and HTML bugs come to haunt me. Am the first person in the history of post-internet existence to 'lose' a job because of poor website design. Ever 'applied' to a job 3 months after you are granted the job? I was asked to, and the website wouldn't let me reapply for some incomprehensible reasons of its own. Can imagine my epitaph already - Here lies Balaji, the man who attracted bugs, and little else.

Forgot to check trouser pockets for leftover items before laundryworks, yet again. Try subjecting a credit card to the full force of water, heat and fabric softeners -you'd be surprised at the results. Deciphering washed-out grocery bills is no fun either.

Completed weeklong data transfers and statistical analyses on over 1500 spreadsheets. 'Ctrl-O, Ctrl-A, Ctrl -C, Alt-Tab, Ctrl-V, scratch head, Alt-D, run stats, scratch head some more, report anomalies, Ctrl S, Ctrl O. Repeat till job gets done or insanity sets in, whichever is earlier'. Simple algorithm in theory, terrible in practice. Heading down the Carpal Tunnel.

Yours truly on strike. Lobbed-up delivery, spins the wrong way, smack! Last pair of glasses shattered. Done in by the first bodyline legspinner in the history of cricket. Harold Larwood would have turned in his grave.
SOS to Parents : Blind man on the loose. Send replacements - emergency!
Currently trying to maintain a safe distance between my disintegrated glasses and spherical objects of all shapes and sizes.

Bugs make a re-entry from the-Lord-knows-where, meaner and stingier than ever before. If bugs survived meteor impacts the likes of which terminated dinosaurs, how were man-made disinfectants supposed to be effective anyway?
S' help me, please!
