Returning from a hiatus?

Ennui took its toll on this blog (and blogger) for the past few months. My apologies to the regular visitors of my blog for this absence without forewarning or even an announced end. Writer's block is completely unplanned. I don't know whether this relates to my usual pessimism about certain things, but I think this blog is pretty ordinary. I don't think I am really adding anything very worthwhile to the blogosphere and equally my energies are probably better spent at other endeavours. I am probably capable of writing worthwhile stuff, but it would probably require me to make an excursion away from lazy-land or TV-land.

Part of the reason for this break was that I have been busier lately with the organization of an event alongwith other members of the COEP Foundation's Silicon Valley Chapter. I helped create this website for the event http://www.coepfoundation-svc.org which was held yesterday at SAP's cafe in Palo Alto. It was a success and was well-recieved by nearly everyone who attended.

I also got introduced to some very illustrious alumni from COEP in the Valley, including Ajit Nazre of the Kleiner Perkins fame. Some others whom I admire I forgot to approach, Nickhil Jakatdar being one of them. Sandeep Johri, a VP at HP who moderated the event, also did an exceptional job. It was a complete pleasure to hear the intelligent and funny remarks that each of the panelists had to make and I think the whole room probably left a little smarter. So the hiatus here was for a worthy cause.
