Flashes of light can mean so many things – it can mean thunder, bringing with it the imminent rain; it can mean a camera clicking somewhere near, capturing a memorable moment for posterity; it can mean the flash from a welding arc that joins together two metal pieces; it can mean a plain flashlight brought out to aid sight in the dark by a battery-life conscious soul; it can even mean a plain hallucinated you!

However, with me it can just mean retinal detachment. Oblige me if I ask you if you saw the flashes too.

Dear Readers,

Thank you for your wonderful support in keeping this blog running. Your constant encouragement in the form of nil comments has kept me going on. After all we all need something to strive for, don't we?

And I thought I had achieved what I had toiled for, when I found four comments waiting to be moderated. That made my otherwise depressing day. Well if that is a pleasant surprise, wait till I tell you more. The first advertised a medical insurance policy, the second one talked about how a lady and her husband found a wonder drug and how happy they have been since then (whateva!), the third one egged me to open another link if I wanted to make money (guess this reader was just being concerned about my job, given the amount of time I spend doing total time pass in office ;) ) and the fourth one was trying to sell me something that I didn’t need in a language I didn’t understand.

I guess I might actually have a need for that insurance after all. There is only so much heartbreak that my frail heart can take after a short lived bout of happiness.

PS 1: I think I am gonna ctrl C + ctrl V some sample spam comments.

PS 2: The Non Spammers amongst my otherwise silent readers are encouraged to comment and the
not so silent ones amongst the Non spammers are encouraged to comment more. You will make my day :)
