what for... would anyone keep such a name - pother ???

ever had these days ! ( I bet you do/did :P ) .. when at the end of it .. sitting with your 'ms word ' (encrypted) personal diary of yours ... you  draw a blank !! ? Well yesterday was one such .. vivid memorably unmemorable day !       #ignore the dull attempts at making(faking)  this piece as 'artsy-fartsy' with the pleonasms #

anyways .. As 'Mentos' enlightenment intervened .. I decided on starting up a blog .. which I presume no one would read ..


#sudden random incoherent thought : Ma'am Haldar : ' saptarshi , you are not good at selling yourself ' !#

Well about the name 'Pother'  ! I came across the meaning of the word at http://wordsmith.org/awad/ some time back and since then it has stuck. It means :


 1. A commotion; a disturbance.

2. A state of nervous activity; a fuss.

3. A cloud of smoke or dust that chokes or smothers.

Well I wouldn't exactly describe myself as 'chaotic/ nervous / confused ?? '  umm . should I ?
anyways. . another aspect of the word that I loved was, it's Entymology ( which means its origin ) is unknown! goes well with my email address doesn't it ? No idea what am talking about right ? my email address's are :
                 1.codeno.404@gmail.com ( all spams and hate mails here ! )       and it's derivative 

  2.s.pal404@gmail.com ( NO spams and hate mails here !)

you see the numbers 404 ! its actually stands for a HTTP Error .. some  connectivity glitch - server-client failure to communicate.
This code is also slang for 'clueless ' !
'something that cannot be found, will not be found, but you can search for it anyway !



footnote of the day :
If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something

    my version of the rule in the footnote:
    If "anything" seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something :P
