Welcome Sindhu and Phani!!!
A dull Sunday morning, its 8:45 still dark outside :(...I got up with a cup of tea and then thinking of what to do I opened my lappie (the default option) and see so many nice posts on our blog...With a smile on my face I thought now its my turn to write something :)
BTW Sindhu, you know whatta a lazy person I am, so that 'search' has been postponed indefinitely (that's a nice way of saying 'abandoned')
But am really short of ideas rt now...Its morning and I am really not a morning person so will be back soon again [:)]

customer review hilarious !!
I got this while going through one of the sites to buy a home theatre system online !!!
"Need another source of stress and anxiety in your life? Like the challenge of taming an uncontrollable electronic appliance? Has it been too long since you last payed astronomical late fees to Blockbuster because your DVD player refused to eject a long-overdue disc? Well, have I got a system for you! With the Sony DAV-FC7 Home Theater System, you too can experience entertainment like never before, with a DVD drive that dies a quick and asymptomatic death after only 4 weeks of moderate use, and the warm glow of an eternally blinking "STANDBY" display of your soon-to-be-non-responsive system. If that's not enough, you have at your disposal hours of fun with the world's most unintuitive voice response system. Just dial 1-800-222-7669, and let the fun begin. Not recommended if you're pregnant or suffering from a stress-related heart condition. Consult your doctor before purchasing. "

Forgetting!!!
This being the second day of our blog, I wanted to write something!.
The thing which I feared happened…I didn’t seem to have “Captivating idea or caption” in other words no creative ideas.
The issue was I was searching for something different to write while the reality is the most common things are the least written about and can be quiet interesting.
(Inspiration “The Broom” by Aqua- our friend” – guess it is the style of writing rather than the topic itself!!!)
Hence here I set to write one of the most common things that happens with me –“Forgetting”
The day I read Robert Lynd’s Forgetting, I was so very happy, here I see a great essayist having the same problem as mine!.Untill then it was an agonizing mystery to me “Why I alone Forget the things which I don’t want to forget”. My list of forgetting ranges from
Umbrella’s to Cell phones- Any thing that I carry in bus including hand purses
Bank details to boiling milk on the stove
Homeworks to Happy birthdays
And while I had been still writing I forgot where kept my bus pass..ahhhh
What do I do :( :(

It's My Turn Now :)
It is now a trio's blog though I still have'nt spoken to Kriti with regard to this blog. I need to find out if her hunt is still on or if she has succeeded in finding what inspires her.
Talking of inspiration (thanks to Kriti for having brought this idea out), I am reminded of numerous ways people suddenly get motivated to do things. Be it a student aspiring for higher marks because of peer competition, a dancer creating a new piece inspired by folk tale, a house-wife inspired to cook tasty food because her husband relishes every bit of what she cooks, a person who has lost all hope suddenly gettig inspired by a motivational speaker...this can go on and on.
At this moment I am inspired to write to this post because of the author invite I recieved for this blog.
So folks, shall we set rolling???

The hunt is on!
Both of us (me n her) are on a hunt to find something that interests us (or me?). Inspired by an email from Shivani, which reads "But ya just make sure dont stop enjoying life .. try to find out what u love doing the most & start doing it.Experience se keh rahi hoon, accha lagta hai ... mera salsa class exp ;) ".
So strange that in last 26 years of my life I couldnot know what is that one thing that gives me pleasure, ireespective or when, where, how and how many times I do it and how much time I spend on it. Lot of things like chatting, travelling, movies, cooking give me pleasure, but they are all dependent on the environment and the partners. Is there not even a single thing which makes me oblivious to the environment? :(
So this is what this hunt is all about!!!
I wish success to both of us in this [:)]..
Keep posting n so wil I [:D]

duo's blog
yeah we wanted this to be a group blog, tho we currently finalized only between the 2 of us!
one dull afty in uncle sams(me) and when it was after office in the european empire(my friend) thought we would open a group blog and hence born "sojourn journey"
True the name is an irony and grammatically might be incorrect, then don’t blame me when
-all the names that I wanted for the blog were already taken
-both the friends’ current settlement is a sojourn
-and I love journey!
This is a rant, but then that was the idea of this blog!!!!!!!!!!
