Desi Pundit bids farewell
The folks at DP have decided to shut down their wonderful blog, blaming time-constraints. I do not blame them at all, for am sure a job so well done must've been demanding a lot of time and effort.
So I'm sitting here, staring at the the bright yellow sun on the page. Furiously going through the archives...bookmarking each and every post i find interesting, funny, or informative. Lapping it all up, trying to file away as much as I can. Going about, leaving my last comments that say "Came here from desipundit" because, when will I do that again? In a way the timing is good, atleast I'll be spared of all the diwali posts and sit here feeling homesick. hah. i knew there would be something positive out of this.
And also, i guess, i'll spend less time on blogs and more time on my phd...eh?? :)
:( I am sad. So long, and thanks for all the fish, guys.
ohhh that's sad! i was just warming up to this site...late bloomer i know...hope they reconsider shutting it down.
