Hi folks. Hope you liked my first blog on the blogosphere.. For all of you who were waiting (desperately??) for the second part, I have taken the pains of penning down the second part of my first blog. However, the magnitude of this pain nowhere falls in vicinity of the same endured by you readers to go through my first blog [:D]. Hope you are ready for the second installment...
As per my understanding, I anticipate that many (read most) of you would think that I am a self obsessed, supercilious, haughty and superficial braggart. Please don't let that thought creep into your mind. I am a perfectly normal human being who likes to make fun of himself before switching on to the easter bunny.. now, don't you dare ask me why the hell would someone make fun of the easter bunny.. I also don't know from where did that word entered my mind. Might be, Jug Surya makes fun of his wife BUNNY and I wanted one BUNNY for my blog too.. Now, since Mr. Surya (no matter how much he takes a dig on his wife) in his rarest of rare dreams would not even dream of giving me his wife for MY blog, i tried searching for my Bunny and voila!!.. Thanks to the Easter Bunny, I got an Easter Bunny for myself.. (Pls pls pls pls don't hit me, i promise I would not crack such EPJ's again, Extremely Poor / Phata Jokes)
After making through all the byzantine, convoluted and absolutely nonsense blabbering of mine, I would really appreciate if you could explain to me the meanings of sentences that I have written so far. Frankly, I would not go through the above post even if my wife gives me a death threat to do so...jyada ho gaya.. okies, i would go through the above post in the aforementioned scenario. [:D]
Lets move on to some serious stuff. You might be wondering why on god's b'ful earth would someone name his / her blog with a blog address that's as abstruse as Heisenberg's uncertainty principle or the real motive of SRK for appearing in Indian team's cricket matches. Let me explain.. The official meaning of SOJOURN (courtesy, Dictionary.com) is "A TEMPORARY STAY". Guess this is enough for you to make out the meaning and (quoting Neo "Matrix" Anderson) PURPOSE of this blog's name. For those of you who still haven't got it, this blog is an account of the continuous "SOJOURNS" of life. For me, life's not a continuous journey. Its an ARRAY-LIST (pls excuse my software ACCENT!!) of billions and billions of temporary moments which can be grouped under individual elements of this list. One element representing childhood, other representing marriage et al. Off course unlike a normal arraylist, here, all the elements are cascaded with the happenings of one directly having affects on the others.
ooh.. kinda heavy and nonsense.. Please excuse my amateur ways of comparing real life happenings with those of MY software world.
Moving on to the title of this blog, CRADLE (again courtesy, Dictionary.com) is "A BED FOR AN INFANT" or metaphorically speaking (wow, what a word!!) is "the place where everything is nurtured during its early existence". Hence, this blog would act as a cradle for the rest of my blogs. Damn it, 'coz of these bad bad BAD comparisons, I know that I have already shown the gates to those journalists who approached me in part 1. Why the hell did I procrastinate my interview.. [:(]
Now, let me disclose one heart-breaking fact to all the billions and billions of gals out there. I AM MARRIED. I know that in this mournful world, where sub-prime crises looms large and where a reputed financial company like Bear Sterns is taken over for pocket money, it is enough for you gals to commit suicide but this is a FACT [:D]. Jokes apart, I am married to a girl of my age, who for me is the most beautiful person on this earth. Not 'coz she married a BAD humored guy like me but 'coz she's herself and that's what drove me to her.
Well, i guess this second part is also done. As a direct consequence of the enjoyment I got in typing the last 2 blogs, I would be a regular blogger now. Hope you guys like it and keep sending in your fan mails. Ohh boy, I have a truck load of fan mails arriving in a couple of minutes from now. Didn't expect my fans to start sending HATE letters this early.. [:)].
Anyways, this is Rohit signing off. In subsequent days, you would get a taste of life from my FRAME OF REFERENCE and accounts of my life experiences. Some topics which are revolving in my head as of now are "Date with Madame Tussads", "Day at HITRO (oops, Heathrow)" etc etc.

The first fan mail arrives as quick as you anticipated. An exceptional start, an adequate, logical reasoning for the nomenclature, impeccable english, an original writing style, surprisingly (knowing you) good sense of humour (:p .. kidding), good software metaphors, altho the uninitiated (read software illiterate, including your wife and brother :P) would have trouble figuring those out, but you can always explain it to him and her, and to hell with the rest of the unfortunate people who dun get it :) (ask them to pick up a copy of dietel and dietel in a disclaimer). Its your blog, and should reflect your thoughts.
I'd suggest don't think too much about people reading the blog. Make it more self-satisfying, narrative oriented, if you know what I mean. If you keep the readers in mind too much when posting, the blog wouldn't reflect your thoughts that well. But then again, its "your" blog, and opinions are worth a dime a dozen. :). Let it flow as you please, let yourself free.. thats the best way to proceed for a successful blog.
I'm sure your blog would make an interesting read, based on your first post.
Keep the ball rolling, all the best, looking forward to subsequent posts. Hell i wrote a comment as long as a blog entry itself :P
Take care
hhmm...interesting...if possible try nt 2 make it too abstruse...nt bad 4 second attempt..
totally agree with nitin.....with both teh appreciations and suggestions....but i must say you are good....really have the ability too keep people hooked on....life is an array of beautiful and not so beautiful moments....like this comaparision....because it truely is....n if u hav mentioned u'r age correctly.....aint u a victim of child marriage...23...n already married? suicidal.....neways...all in all it was a good read....
Well, thanks for your appreciation Nikita...[:)]
For the child marriage thing, yeah, i do agree that I got married at a relatively "lesser" age (marriage happened abt a month back!!) then most of the ppl around me. But since marriage is all bout you marrying the right person (not abt ur partner marrying the right person!!! [;)]) i think tat i am right.. Many a times, u dont get the RIGHT person even at an age of 40 and many a times,you get them much much earlier in ur life.. the latter case has happened with me.. i just pray to god tat everything goes well.. [:)]..
Anyways, you have got a very nice blog.. wud post my comments over there soon... [:)]
