Is he serious?

Somebody ought to tell Jivha that 01 April was more than three months back.


Unless he’s serious, in which case the Cartel offers its condolences. Maybe he can finally take a vacation.

Update: Seeing that the Indian blogosphere is running low on quality posts in the last week or two, anyone want to suggest a good topic to write about? Or as Jivha would say, “this is an open thread”

    Unless it really is another Blogger burn-out, I seriously think Jivha is just planning to move his blog to Wordpress or change his template, may be.

    I think he’s joining Manmohan Singh’s cabinet - they needed to their left, but in between them and the commies.

    Maybe he will come back in another avatar?

    Or probably he has been bought out by TOI cause he has been driving too much traffic to their website and their servers aren’t able to handle it.

    I also think he was a TOI plant.

    I hope so too. Funny enough, he has a few posts dated July 19th as well.

    You have no higher ladders to climb in blog-dom when your peers write your eulogy instantly…I hope he comes back too.

    It was a bit of a shock not to find Jivha’s blog this morning. It sounded like a final farwell to me, ala Melodrama.

    Methinks Jivha is “sleeping”. The posts are still accessible at his website. Try this:

    Hope for Jivha blogging has become an addiction and if thats so he will return.

    I’m bored! where the f#$% is Jivha and his usual rantings about the left, his darling Modi and the latest TOI blunder/mishap…..Gosh we REALLY need to get lives!( READ back to that darned Chomsky book….another dude who needs to get a life)

  11. 11 Aadisht

    Of course, that’s assuming Jivha exists at all. We’ve only met a person who claimed to be Jivha. The possibility that Jivha was actually an AI-based news aggregator with a personality a la Marvin cannot be ruled out.

    no matter how surprised everyone else is i am not
    He has been talking about his would be better half, now he can either handle her or his blog, unfortunately he chose the wrong
    option
    .
    An MCP joke on a feminist he was.

    I suspect it is nothing more than a redesign or a break.

    Off-topic:

    I have a question for the cartel on my recent post on my blog @ http://patrix.typepad.com/nerves/2004/07/market_failure_.html

    Would be glad to get your feedback.

    I miss him. His blog was a nice place to hang around during coffee breaks. I had a hard time finding your blog today because I would usually visit it from his!!!

  16. 16 Ravi Handa

    Am I the only one who thinks he got WHACKED bcos he was messing with the TOI FAMILY….

  17. 17 Sabra

    Yes Ravi, yes you are…Please tell me you’re kidding…

  18. 18 Dazzler782000

    Just happened onto this ‘Cartel’ - seems interesting - Also remembered that i read about Yazad and praja.org sometime last year in some Business Mag - would like to help in any which way I can…

    lemme know folks!

  19. 19 Aadisht

    I volunteer to do a ‘Detoxifying History’ post/ series on AnarCapLib, if Yazad would be kind enough to give me an account.

  20. 20 Yazad

    Your wish has been granted Aadisht. Details sent by email.

  21. 21 Aadisht

    Yazad, I don’t seem to be receiving any email. Could you send details again to myfirstnamemysurnameinitial [at] yahoo dot com?

  22. 22 Aadisht

    Oh, IIMB has just dealt me one of those charming spikes in workload. To put it bluntly, I have two tests on Saturday, and a couple (which will probably rise to a bunch) of assignments due. I’ll polish my draft until then, but don’t wait for the Detoxifying History post before Wednesday.
