You know what? The biggest impediment to writing your blog or for that matter doing a lot of new things in your life is that you do not want it to be half baked , you want it to be good - really good at least to start with. That takes time and time is a luxury which or rather lack of which gives you a nice excuse to procrastinate.

Half a loaf is better than none ,  half baked is better than none at all.  Plus half baked is fun too , perfection is boring. So here we go.

Well this is a sequel of some sorts , I did have a blog (which I was never regular at but thats beside the point).  Years later when I thought I should do some writing , it felt natural to start off with a sequel rather than continue from the past. In all honesty , I also felt what I wrote 10 years back was immature and it is quite possible I will feel the same when I read this 10 years down the line. That's one of the reasons why sequels are made - you feel you can do better than your previous work and you end up making it worse.

Karma is one of my favorite topics to ponder about and hence the title. I seriously think most things are overrated in life including life on its own. Karma , I feel , is an exception. It is rather underrated. Well not surprising given that it is often (or always?) delayed . The impact is lost , the connections between the cause and impact are too dotted to realize. I wish it wasn't , I wish it had a haptic feedback mechanism. Some sort of an Instant Karma
