Retrospective thoughts at 2

I know I made myself a resolution to make weekly posts, but an event, not so important to me, but nevertheless important in terms of this blog, beckons me today and I would not be doing justice if I did not make a post today. I hate symbolisms usually, but sometimes I guess its fine. And though I wanted to infuse a bit of razzmatazz into the proceedings today, but I decided that this has already been done by a lot of people. So I am keeping it simple, because I am stupid...

So, to mark two years since my first post here, I take a look back at my first two posts (since I had two posts on the same day). There wasn't any "Hello World" post, but I am not exactly a techie, so that should take away anything from this blog. So here I give you, aNTi, circa February 10, 2003, 13:03......

Then, exactly two hours later, I decided to declare to the whole world, the reasons behind my tag line. Through these two years (and as recently as 10 days ago), I have ranted on and on about how people don’t seem to find any need to pronounce my name properly. My second post was along those lines. A friend of mine, S, asked me spell out my whole name and when he saw my last name, he couldn't help bastardizing it. But I have to admit that, to this day, I have perhaps liked his version the best. He started calling me Anti Superman. Okie, before he could realize that he could have called me Bizarro instead, I started humming the opening bars of the theme song from Scrubs, by the group Lazlo Bane, much to the amusement of everyone around. And when this blog morphed out from my inner self, this theme seemed to be the best tagline I could find to encapsulate what is all me, just another egotist living his ordinary boring life on earth...

And so, at 15:03, the same day, I proclaimed I'm No Superman! I also started, with this post, a QOTD (quote of the day) feature that I have since discarded, with what seemed to be quite a fitting quote for a blog. And, of course, this post also featured the proclamation that you could call me "Superman-ian" if you wanted, perhaps the first of the many instances of verbiage that I have passed off as humor in this blog since then....

After that, IMHO, the world was never the same again....
