Wow...I"m Colourful.Thanks AJ for renovating.(Always praise this guy atleast once in ur blog.You never know u might land up on the front page or as a special feature)[The above remark is not personal.AJ has added sparkle to the iland n obviously improved it a lot.I apologise if its hurt him.I'd rather do that than edit the blog itself! Sorry AJ]
I know, friends have been expecting me to post something for a long time n yes,i"ve got a helluva story to tell you guys...
My life was in turmoil for the past few weeks.I"ve been extremely  lucky to be alive and it feels wonderful to sit here and narrate my experience to you all,because i know,some of you guys must"ve been through the same things and yet might not have mentioned it,keeping the agony to yourselves.
   I can exactly recollect when it started.I was enchanted...maybe it was a curse...I lost touch with myself and the world...That place Hogwarts and that potter boy...I almost turned into a wizard!!
   My brother is a die hard Potter fan.N my sis has got a sweet tooth for fairy tales.I"ve always distanced myself two shelves away from such enchantments,n prefferred what the men read(Nah not those ones you perverts!)The thrillers n big time fiction.One fine day, i was called a muggle coz neither had i read a potter book,nor did i buy one for my bro.This enraged me,because i"d obviously watched the first harry potter film in hindi with my friends who"d explained me the english version later.So on the eve (oh,t"was a morning i think) of the release of the last book,i made a dive for the first one!
                      The rest they say is history.I"ve been calling people names since.N my brother"s pretty frustrated.Everytime i see him i shout "Riddikulus".My sis"s has stopped calling me coz i yell "Cant you send me an owl" n switch the cell off.My big fat poor collegue,who"s been a muggle in the true sense(not even heard of potter) doesnt even know i"m pulling his leg.I always tell him "You look so much like one of my friends...Hagrid". My mother almost hit me with the Belan...i"ve been using that as my wand and tapping it on people"s foreheads.N pa would kill us if he came to know that we"ve been addressing him as "he-who-must-not-be-named".Guys,i tell you the worlds gone topsy-turvy for me.I"ve started looking suspiciously at cats.The other day,i asked mom to get a nimbus2000 or a firebolt Jhaadu(broom) from the market.I was laughing like hell when she returned empty handed after an hour and a half.N my sis,me sent her n owl, n she laughs everytime she see"s a jhaadu now.Thats what these wizards do to you.
I"ve not had any spare time.(As if i had some anyways).I havent been meeting anyone...cousins ,friends.Even football"s taken a back-stage.Havent seen a movie in ages.I"ve been disoriented in time,place and person.Friends have started asking if i"m seeing someone.The truth is,all i can see is magic.So those of you who havent taken this journey,please start at the earliest coz the curse is great. Thank you J.K.Rowling.N see you all at Hogwarts again...
