The cardboard hero of the Mahabharata, Arjuna was true to type- macho, indecisive, insecure about his mother's love for him, competitive, exploitative, suppressing all legit competitors by fair means or foul, polygamous - the epitome, as it were, of Indian malehood. There was one thing, however, truly remarkable about him. The facet of Arjuna which fascinated me, made me blind to all his faults and made a hero of him in my eyes, from was that one of his appellations was Savyasachi (the ambidextrous one).
While I can do a few simple tricks like writing backwards and to a limited extent even writing longhand with my left hand, I cannot type with my left. This and other such constraints to my ambidexterity are made very apparent to me now that my right wrist is afflicted with RSI.
So folks till my right rights itself, among other things, no more blog hopping for me and no more posts here...

Hope you are better now. Some injuries are weird. My little finger on right hand started hurting. Reason? I used it to support my heavy mug of coffee:) Now that I stopped that, it's ok again.
Loved your blog. Don't ever stop blogging.
