Disdain/Respect I have often wondered if this blog would have been the same without Jalali Baba. He has been the inspiration for no less than three updates, and his twisted logic has found its way in every alternate update if not in every update. The unhealthy mix of absolute disdain (his for me) and minimal respect (mine for him) that characterizes our friendship is so tangible, it would find its place under fixed assets on a balance sheet, were it not so omnipresent on this blog.

Its worth brooding over then, if this blog would have been the same without him around. What has been the world's greatest mystery, ever since Jalali Baba got himself a blog, is the million dollar question, " What will Jalali Baba write about, if ever he decides to update?"

It has been a KPI (Kep Performance Indicator) of mine to elicit an update out of Jalali Baba. My attempts in this regard have gone from suggesting, asking, threatening, ordering, requesting, cajoling, imploring, begging, and pleading to tagging him.

Well, the question has been answered, the mystery unravelled... Jalali Baba has updated in his own distinctive, twisted style.

Thank you Jalalio... *wipes 'tears of happiness'*  ¶ 6/16/2005 03:48:00 PM
