dippu.com

I'm up early this morning and realizing that there could be a new beginning for this web site. Many may have noticed that I haven't written on this for a while and neither have my colleagues. As a matter of fact, the last person to write on this site was zimblymallu, someone who I had to plead, beg, and threaten to get him to write a year ago. I'm typing on my laptop this morning sort of resigned to the idea that everyone has moved on. Blogging seems like such a chore to me sometimes. We started this site as a way for young people in Portland to correspond online. Everyone had their own blog those days in 2005. One by one, each blog dropped off the face of the earth.

Ashish still writes consistently at his website  ashishjoy.com, I still write on my blog at daycruz.wordpress.com. Bobby got engaged, and I think he still writes although I haven't read his blog in ages. Zimbly, also known as Pramod has been working on getting into a few business schools and also continues to write. Why am I saying all this? Everyone has moved on from dippu.com including myself. i still have a dream for this site though and hope that it will be achieved at some point. I'd like to start writing again just under the condition for myself that this will not be burdened with high expectations. This will be, at least for now, what dippu was meant to be: a project for desis. We never actually figured out what the point of the project was. I actually liked that fact though. It was nice to not have any pressure and just post whatever the heck we felt like. Our site became tough and boring for us to even post on when we had Malayalee uncles and aunties visiting every day. We became too darn Pentecostal for our own good. Now that I think about it, I feel awful for poor Brethren Bobby.

Am I saying that we're not Pentecostal or Malayalee? Well, I know Bobby's not Pentecostal. I'm not even sure if I'm not. The point though is that we are willing to talk about anything and everything. And as a personal aside, we're willing to talk about anything as long as it glorifies God. I head out tomorrow morning on a road trip with my parents to start up school again at Azusa Pacific University. I probably won't have time to write here as much as I'd like but I want anyone that is reading this to know that I still care about this site and that it has not left my mind. Dippu.com will continue but we will hold off on any aspirations and for the time-being just be a website dedicated to a group of goofy guys having fun and glorifying God at the same time.
