After a long, long time, I logged my rediffmail account today…was chockful of junk mails and Daily Dilbert strips, but the nicest thing, of course, was going through the old mails, some of which were nearly three-four years old. There were all the mails I shared with psasi during his initial days in his company…the ones with The Psychelone when he was at home, the whole Wrecstasy experience…old feuds, 32kb mails full of back-biting ( ’twasn’t me! :-P ), old acquaintances from Saarang and Unmaad and Trivium, even a mail from Michael Kaluta, artist extraordinaire, who explained the concept behind the covers of the Black Sabbath tribute albums to me (he was the guy who did the artwork), one from Makshim Moshkow, arguably the Net’s nicest librarian…his collection of Russian e-texts ( maintained here ) is mind-boggling! Old classmatess from Bangladesh,Nepal, Bhutan, and nearly every state in the country; Nirvana fans I had met on trains, mails with links to HP Lovecraft, Lord of the Rings,Harry Potter, H2G2, movie screenplay sites, stuff that REALLY mattered once upon a time (they still do, of course), mails with login information to those kind of sites, old quizzes from The Cimmerian ( the only kind of mails he would send me after he passed out), fellow Batman-freaks from Bangalore….and all of them with WEIRD titles…..:-D

me@mycompany.com is a nice id, but well, rahmaniac@rediff.com sounds weirder….and even if i get kicked out of here, it’s gonna stay. I think I should use it more often.

The first thing I need to do is unsubscribe from Daily Dilbert. :-)
