A timeline

Oct - Dec 03: This was the time when Marw influenced by the ever growing blogging community came up with an idea of a sport blog with Madhu Raju. Balls did his thing and named it "Freaks Inc".This is the time before all of us left for our first trip to India after coming to the US and so no one really wrote anything. The blog was alive though, hosting the incessant hot-linking which was and has been Marw's forte till date.
Jan-Feb 04:- Nothing at all just one post from Marwadi saying that he added Aup to the blog.
March 04:- Truly, this is the time the blog actually came to life. Buoyant due to India’s win over Pakistan in the one-dayers, we saw post after post of cricket but there were very few hotlinks. Of particular note is Balls' comment about Amit Bhandari being a replacement for Nehra and my comment about how thoughtful Bala's blog was..funny as hell. VCD posts his first.
April 04: Our first Metallica experience for people to live vicariously through Balls’ post "My'tallica experience". Belur's christening as "Bhagwaan"and our homage to Raaz and Meghna Naidu. Shawar becomes the new Freak's cult.
May 04: Suraj blogs and more surprisingly Marw writes two blogs. His post about Bala's "Mai terese darta nahi" makes a very interesting read. Suraj copy-pastes a beaten to death naatak.
Jun04: First spiritual blog and two near life experiences…too much of Fight Club in there. Balls’ and Nicole’s versions of their power rafting ups the tempo. How difficult is it to live without the internet is very beautifully dissected in Srikants blog. Marw writes but still hotlinks away to glory.
Jul 04, Aug 04: Strictly OK months. Lets not go thyair

Sep 04: One of the most hilarious blogs and also the most hated in a while. Balls reasons why he wouldn’t want to be Shahrukh Kkkhan in his next life. Aup pays homage to Mahesh Saab’s clairvoyance in his tribute to "Hum Hai Rahi Pyaar Ke". Both the blogs get published in Shrishti due to lack of anything genuine.
Oct 04: First combined blog for Freaks Inc posted by Aup and Balls. Goli gets enlightened with Baba's darshan and dabbles with photoshop ..Aup becomes Aup Baba. Srikant writes one of the best blogs about one of the best parties we’ve ever had.
Nov 04: KK’s first blog which he would like to forget and so would we.
Dec 04: Balls writes one of the most thoughtful and hilarious blogs ever about the history of research.Enough said.
Jan 05- Mar 05: Sri's blog about Swades in March was the one I thought was worth mentioning. But the blog was pretty much alive with Marw's hotlinks and political discussions.
April 05: Balls' writing capabilities reach the zenith. "Eight" is a masterpiece.Sadly, the
only one produced in a month of little activity.
May 05: Mike is added to the blog and he produces one that doesn't vibe well with the Gandhians and the confused in the group. Balls writes his first hand version of Srikant's
(read Javeds) steely nerves in a run chase. Aup doesn't hide his feelings and
showers words of praise on Meghneeyal on his bday.
Jun 05: 20 greatest Freak one liners of all times. Bhaiyya steals the show but writes nothing yet.
Jul 05: KK gets nostalgic (or quotes someone who got nostalgic :-) ). It literally rains cats and dogs in Mumbai.
Aug 05: Bhaiyya's house warming party gives Balls a lot to write and he covers it exceptionally in his blog. Also Marw and Vcd sum up their sentiments on an NRI's feelings on Swatantra Din.

Sep 05:Aup does an Alok with his Baasten travelogue.Todd is added to the blog and Savitha's blog produces the most discussion and brooding over.Balls writes a beautiful poem about life and Bhaiyya finally writes his first blog after a peg of MaCallen about his Std 10 experiences.
Oct 05: Mike writes about the Great Road Trip to San fran. KK writes a good bday wish to Goli Freaks Inc turns 2.
Nov 05:Balls graduates and is dismembered from Aup's sacred cult.Srikant has a hilarious post on the brotherhood's trip to Philly.
Dec 05: Balls openly discusses his morbid fantasies.
Jan 06: Vcd posts a harsh fact on nostalgia. Marw springs back into action with his cricket-related blog.
Feb 06: Aup expresses his frustration over wannabes and Marw follows with a thoughtful blog with a hangover of DCH. Aup sends Jaadya off to NJ with a poem only to find him back in his house capping off Feb with a worthless blog.
March 05:Balls and Aup exhort Sachin to perform in the Mumbai test and are disappointed "yet again". Srikant tries to ignite an argument by praising the hijda but fails. Bhaiyya produces a masterpeice "by his standards" about the various services his courier agency has to offer.
April 06: Low on activity.Mike's 11th standard post makes a good read while I rue another wasted weekend.

May 06: Aup is still smarting from a rude treatment at the hands of a puerto rican waiter. Balls gears up for the football world cup and Marw hotlinks a hilarious video from you tube.
Jul 06: Balls takes us through the travails of his life thus far about living with his name. KK delivers with a hilarious post about the Caucasian White - ticket crazy Bhaiyya
Aug 06: Sriaknts post about HAHK makes a good read. Todd produces two masterpieces not to mention his equally long comments. Todd's post about the types of desis in the US gets posted on desi torrents' forum. Bhaiyya laments on how hes been institutionalized in Baltimore.
Sep 06: A discussion on Vande Mataram. Mike shows all of us that he is alive.
Oct 06: Balls' passion is very much evident in his beautiful write up of the Tool concert. After this the blog goes into a Ghaat Rock spree with yours truly translating "The Pot" and Mike follows with Schism and Lateralus before posting loads of ciphers. Todd posts a beautiful post on Lady Luck
So, thats three years in a nutshell. Couldn't think of anything more original rather than a Harshaesque commentary of walking down the memory lane.It is so interesting to revive old memories and see how our writing has progressed over the years. How more thought has gone into each blog that has been posted. How much we have argued senselessly over inane topics and had a whale of a time. Before it starts getting more Alokesque than it already is, I will end this.

Heres to three years of blogging. Happy B'day Freaks Inc.
