Curfew Again
When I woke up today the curfew was on; and it will last till late evening. Yesterday, an aquaintance had called in to inform about it, but I had not paid any heed to his warning. Rumors are as much in abundance here as there are bandhs and agitations. As stated on my main blog a few days back, curfew does not affect me as such, except that the shops are closed.
Half awake, I had trudged to the neighborhood shop to buy milk, and that is where I got the news. Being in a by-lane, the shop was open; it is basically a ‘dhaba’ but keeps stock of milk, water, cigarettes and a few other daily use stuff. Thankfully, I have some basic cooking ingredients, so will manage the food part for today!
Ironically, of all days, today I had planned to move out - pay my mobile bill, buy stuff to take back home and get a few stuff completed. I had also asked the maid to come late in the noon. For the past few days, when the situation had sort of reached a limping normalcy, I had royally procrastinated.
My new story ‘Tapish’ finds a small receptive audience on the main blog. Writing in Hindi was a little tougher than expected. First, my vocabulary is very limited; and second, typing speed was painfully slow and catching up with the running thoughts became an exercise in itself! Half the time, I would forget that ‘brilliant flash’ which would have occurred while visualising a scene. Anyways, not planning to write any more stories for a long time now, so will savor whatever comments come its way - good or bad!

Hi Deepak,
Can you help me? I saw your posting in WordPress here:
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/69887?replies=7
where you were trying to get the Official Comments plugin to work. Obviously, you’ve got it working, but I’m running into the same problem (where to put the code). I wrote the css class in the stylesheet template and used the following code in comments.php:
`" id="comment- ">";
else echo "" id="comment-">" ?>
`
I wanted to test to see if user #2 (me) was the commenter — if not, use the normal alternating background color, or ELSE (if it was me) use the “commentOfficialUser” class. Any ideas on how to solve this? I keep getting an error saying I have an unexpected “?” in the line but I don’t see where!!
Thanks,
6pence
