Difficulties in finding a topic

Well, looks like it's been a long time since I blogged. I was in search for a good topic to blog on.
It was very difficult to pick one. After some days and a lot of thought, I realised that I had one amazing topic to write about and this topic materialized.
Very often, people think a lot about something a lot and miss the very obvious. This happens a lot when I used to crack PJs( Poor Jokes - I will need a separate blog to explain why this sentence is in past tense. Will post that sometime in the future).
The punchlines involved in the PJs will usually state the very obvious. Looks like I have deviated a lot from the topic ;-).
Coming back to the topic in hand. Some of my attempts to find a topic included :
1) Looking for an inspiration, just like my previous topic. Unfortunately, could not find one
2) Haven't seen any movie recently worth mentioning. This was one of the reasons which led to my first topic
3) Tried to learn from life. I feel that there is a lot to learn from life and every leason cannot be blogged. Especially some of the really private ones :-) ....
4) Out of desparation, asked a few people around for some good topic. I got some really good suggestions and some not-so good suggestions.
Neither of this worked out and here I'm finally writing about the difficulties associated with finding a good topic to write about.
What are the characteristics of a good topic?
From what I realized during my short span of blogging, topics have to be either
1. Entertaining
2. Thought-provoking
3. Different
4. Non-controversial

So the most difficult part in selecting a topic that meets at least most of the above criteria..

Finally, I'm stuck and am not getting a good topic to blog about :-( .......

The saying "There is always a light at the end of a long dark tunnel" holds good here. My only hope is that the light does not turn out to be that of a speeding train...

Good day everyone... Thanks a lot for reading my blogs... Will blog on some interesting topic very soon .... after all life gets very interesting as days pass by...

Love Failure and obsession with beards

Whenever I had decided to grow a beard, I came across many ridiculous comments from different people.

Some of the really good ones are :
1. Are you going to Sabarimalai (especially in the month of May?? I don't think the temple is open during May)??
2. Don't you have enough money to go for a shave??
3. Are the shops which sell shaving razors closed??
4. Did you have a love failure??

The fourth question usually strikes me. Why should guys grow a beard if they had a love failure?? What will girls do if they had a love failure (as they can't grow beards, maybe they might grow their hair)???

What's this "LOVE FAILURE" concept??
This has been really troubling me for a long time (ever since my facial hair started growing).

As far as I can understand, a guy and a girl start liking / loving each other and long to spend time together. One fine day, they split due to some reason or the other. They feel sad about it. I think this is what is called or termed as "Love Failure". This will bring in a lot of bitterness and sadness to the individuals concerned.

Still my question lingers on and on... How can you associate beards with love failure.
Many great people had beards, but does that mean they had "love failure" during their lifetime.

Looks like this will still remain an unsolved mystery for times to come. Hopefully someone can come up with an answer.
Meanwhile, watch this place, I might finally solve this.
