Saw Jeet's blog today. Must confess that it looked more like a well-maintained-series personal diary entries :-P (obviously, with only a meagre bit of that *personal* thing! :-D).
BTW, not far from my passion for Pink Floyd is Bill Waterson's creation - Calvin & Hobbes, i.e. . I rummage C&H through the Internet almost on daily basis (90% of that Internet being orkut, as of now :-D).
Hmm... I think I'll have to change "Here's my today's strip of the day:" to "I would've liked to upload my calvin and hobbes strip of the day", because blogger is not allowing me uploading any files, as of now. But I'll finish nonetheless with a wonderful dialogue Calvin has with Hobbes:

Calvin:Today at school, I tried to decide whether to cheat on my test or not. I wondered, is it better to do the right thing and fail ... or is it better to do the wrong thing and succeed? On the one hand, undeserved success gives no satisfaction ... but on the other hand, well-deserved failure gives no satisfaction either. Of course, most everybody cheats some time or other. People always bend the rules if they think they can get away with it ... then again, that doesn't justify my cheating. Then I thought, look, cheating on one little test isn't such a big deal. It doesn't hurt anyone ... but then I wondered if I was just rationalizing my unwillingness to accept the consequence of not studying. Still, in the real world, people care about success, not principles ... then again, maybe that's why the world is in such a mess. What a dilemma!
Hobbes: So what did you decide?
Calvin: Nothing. I ran out of time and I had to turn in a blank paper.
Hobbes: Anymore, simply acknowledging the issue is a moral victory.
Calvin: Well, it just seemed wrong to cheat on an ethics test.

Umhh....

Have never done this before... I guess, this should be some kind of welcoming you readers-of-my-blog and stuff, which (unfortunately?) I'm not very good at! :-D
Let's (try to) begin anyways! Actually, me got bitten by blog bug only a couple of days earlier, after I came across this blog http://dreamsatwork.blogspot.com/. Found a
magnificent poem there and it was then it crossed my mind that you poor earthlings were getting deprived of something! :-P
Anways, for those, who maybe wondering at the loooong URL of my blog, I'm a passionate Pink Floyd fan, and Dark Side Of the Moon is an intensely evocative album that they produced in 1973. In short, it is about
the simple and often trivial pressures of daily life that can lead one to insanity. It is also one of their best-ever selling albums, hmmm... I'm tempted to engage, at this point, in some trivia;-) DSoM remained in BillBoard Top 200 charts for a fabulous FIFTEEN years (~ 730 weeks) !!! and is still estimated to sell greater than 10, 000 copies per week around the world!
Needless to say now, it's my favourite compilation as well...
The (current) title of the blog might be much more familiar. Comfortably Numb would be the best psychedelic score ever written and sung in the history of music. It sort of is a give-away-description of mine as well! And I think, I'd like to exercise it right now :-D and say adioz!
