    Blogger crippled by floundering economy

    Comments | Print | Email

    Many of you think believe that us blogger/writer/journalists live lives of luxury and excess. What with the traveling, the informal work attire and the fluffy deliverables. “Maybe this week I will write a piece on the potato!” is what most of you think we are thinking about all the time with our feet propped up on our tables and pint bottles of Carlsberg in our hands. No meetings to attend, no spreadsheets to crunch and no reports to file.

    But alas the truth must be told. Our lives are not all milk and honey. We do not live merry lives. And this current economic downturn is hitting us very hard indeed. To highlight this I present the photo of a note the maid left on our refrigerator door a few days ago. Merely the act of embedding it here is causing tears to well up in my eyes.

    Look what the global melt-down has done to the Domain Maximus household:

    fridge note

    Balanced diet. Not!

    Merely a diet of pulao and nimbu pani is what fuels this blogger. Have mercy readers! I am accepting donations in the form of cash and Nintendo Wiis.

    Okay now I need to go get another Carlsberg.

    p.s. The other blog has a little graph you might like to check out. Especially if you have an MBA.

      Have been reading some of your previous stuff on Business Line. Why dont you do any more humourous writing any more?
      I personally liked the non-serious stuff you did on economic & management topics. It was your unique style. Now its difficult to see the Sidin shining through - its humdrum journalistic stuff you-know-what-i-mean?
    • Hmmmm...maybe on my next trip to Mumbai, I will treat you to a great coffee at Basilico :)

      On the other hand , I think the blogger seems to be filthy rich for who can afford a maid who cooks these days, The last time I 've heard maids/chefs cook was way back in the Gupta's /Maurya's era....I think you should be the one donating the Wii's or maybe iphone's including a 3 year plan...??
    • Ah! Seems Google AdSense is reading something entirely different from your post....I see "Flatten your tummy in 5 days. Click here" Ads :)

      and isn't it supposed to be 'Nimbu' pani? Or is 'Limbu pani' a slang for LimCarlsberg ;)
    • lol.. Modest post... :D

      "Pass it on to the employees of Lehman Brothers. the pic.."

      That was cruel!! :(
    • Pass it on to the employees of Lehman Brothers. the pic..

      They might get prepared for their future.
    • he he! we sure will have mercy.
      and ensure that we read everything you write :-)
      but can't take the responsibility of converting that to cash!

      Happy writing. For we enjoy reading!

      cheers
