10 Excuses Reasons  Why Couldn’t I Write a Nice Post Today
  1. I am plain lazy. I guess, it’s the weather. Now, this is a wonderful excuse…blame it on the weather. Oh, by the way, there is a song by the same lyrics!
  2. I am thoroughly uninspired. Everything is regular around me at the moment. That reminds me of something I read somewhere… when our life is regular and routine, we crib about it and when our regular life is disturbed we yearn to go back to our comfortable boring life!
  3. I wanted to write something spectacular, though I haven’t written anything spectacular for a long time now. Also, I have no clue about what I want to write
  4. My Google Reader keeps adding new blog posts every 10 minutes. I am happy reading what others have written. And let me tell you, that bloggers are an extremely talented lot. Everybody has a different or a new viewpoint on everything! Pretty impressive that is, now!
  5. My maid is taking leave tomorrow and I am worried about the work load that I will have tomorrow at my hands.
  6. I have more important things to do like daydream about the future and the very next moment get daymares too (yeah they are nightmares seen in broad day light!). Then, I also need to help Aaryan to understand the instructions of the new game that he has downloaded. The clothes need to be taken inside from the clothes drying rack otherwise the dew will dampen them…
  7. There are too many distractions at the moment… Aaryan’s Angry Birds are making angry noises on his Tablet, there are sounds of elephants trumpeting on television which no one is watching at the moment, KG is making some weekend plans over the phone with a friend and my ears are getting pulled in his direction, the honking of the cars on the street outside…
  8. Taking time to write makes me feel guilty. I get a feeling that I am neglecting my child. Though my child is having a rocking vacation. This is exactly what he said in the morning when his boarding school friend cum bunk bed partner from Kolkata called.
  9. I am not well. (Gosh, this is sounding too dramatic even to my ears!) A rash has developed on my forehead. The doctor said, it’s an allergy and now it has caused swelling on my forehead and nose too! No pain and no irritation but whenever KG is looking at me, he has a worried look and Aaryan is quick to point out my new grey hair and dark spots too!
  10. My grey cells are exhausted, in other words, my brain is progressing towards… umm… towards… Oh, my grey cells are exhausted. Period.

  1. Your “TT” posts are unique in their own way Shilpa and you just posted another one. I honestly think you need to change the title of this post 🙂

    1. Thanks Reshma. Glad you liked these TTs! What do you have in mind about the title? Tell me your thoughts, because, you know, my grey cells have exhausted themselves as of now! 😀

  2. Yeah, take care of the allergy. Winters are such that one just wishes to curl up and laze around. I have not done any work the past two days, and damn I was frightened to sit at my system today. And, give ample rest to your grey cells :).

    1. Yeah, seeing the doc in the evening! You had a celebration at home, so your reasons for not working are pretty valid!! 🙂 How was the party??
      Hope the grey cells are recharged soon! 😀

    2. Nah, no party just some together time. We caught a movie and lunch :). And I made kathal ka pulav for dinner ;-). Monday was busy with the younger one’s Annual Day. So, today was extra hectic.

  3. hah.. managed to write ten 😀 And also managed to make people accept! If I write one, I ll get eleven and the eleventh one will be “Aiyooo.. I don’t know to write! Leave me :D”….

  4. You managed to pull something out of nothing and it ended up a creative post.
    These mundane things are what makes our days. many of your reasons are similar to mine like 2,3, 4 ,7… oh , i am unable to see the list while commenting…. and don’t worry about 8. It is the quality time that is important not quantity of time and so agree about the annoying sounds of TV, Tab, etc., i am in the same boat and my H is making the year end trip plans.

    1. Yeah, the best thing I like about these posts is that they hardly take any time. 😀
      Wow, we have so many similar things happening in our lives!! Cool 🙂
      I am able to see the list… how did that happen with you?? 🙁

  5. is it the reason 5, which is making you uncomfortable….hhmmmm i can understand…:))

    well….even after all those hick-ups you are here with a post and that is wonderful…so keep posting.

    1. Thanks Ma’am! Yes, that’s a big pain, but managed to complete all chores and in fact, I like doing things on my own once in a while (not daily though). You can clean the nooks and corners better and the satisfaction of seeing a clean home is priceless! 🙂

  6. I think the winter (milder summer, here) is doing this to all of us. I didn’t write a post for 5-6 days, which is quite unusual! Maybe you can try something different – How about having a bon-fire inside the house? I am sure Aryan would love it 🙂

    Destination Infinity

    1. Yeah, now that you say this too, I am convinced, it IS The Weather!! 😀
      Bon-fire inside the house!! Well, we stay in a flat, so the max that we can do is have a barbecue in the balcony and heater in the room! But, a bon-fire is on the cards very soon at a friend’s place! 🙂

  7. Ha Ha…sometimes there are 100 excuses to not to blog. Sometimes, when I force myself to write something, I just don’t get it. That’s when I let go blogging from my priorities. Just relax, take your time, and write when you really wanted to!

  8. Shilpa,

    Each seems reasonable but not one on Not feeling well. How are you now? Hope that allergy is controlled if not cured fully.

    Take care
