In case you are one of the two people that visit this blog regularly and are wondering about the lack of activity here, this post is for you.
It is 3 a.m. here and about -10 degree Farhenhiet (-20 degree Celsius) outside and I am sitting in the comfort of a rented car in an open field a few miles from Anchorage in Alaska.
Why? Hoping to catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights (please search what that means; I cannot post URLs while writing from my cell phone)
Oh you mean why in Alaska ?
For that I will go by what Sarah Palin said when asked which Supreme Court judgements she did not agree with, “I think I am gonna have to look for it and get back to ya”.
The more I write now the more I am going to get into stuff like nature, earth, society, mental and physical limits, philosophy and god; so in my own interest of not losing either one of you two readers, I take this opportunity to utter those golden words that should have been used more often in this world right from Bush in Iraq to the journalist interviewing Mamta Bannerjee,
“Ok bye”.
P.S. : Pardon typos if any.

“The aurora borealis most often occurs from September to October and from March to April.”

@docmitasha : Yes I finally did. But how when where is a long story which will come along shortly.
@everyone : I did not see Russia.
@Tushar : Either wikipedia is wrong or I was hallucinating. And it mentions “most often”. As my friends in Pakistan would say, this is not credible evidence that they do not occur now.
