Taking a break from the Novella and the NaNoWriMo posts, I would like to wish all the readers of neobluepanther(dot)com a Very Happy Diwali !

“I am all for it. I think it can be done, I was paying more attention today, and there is no security, we can easily haul in the money and run,” Ramesh began.
“And run where? we are no robbers or criminals,” Vikas said, a little irritated. “What do you think Rahul?”
“I think your plan is the best, we can take Ramesh’s help to fill in the details and then act. But I noticed that we have only twenty days to figure out everything, otherwise the money will be gone and all will be in vain.”
“Yes…twenty days, but twenty days are more than enough.”
“Ok! here is the final plan then”, Vikas continued, “Rahul and me will leave this place a few days before the actual day… we are away often so it won’t rouse any suspicion. On the day we won’t be able to contact each other, neither will we try…so everything has to be very well planned. On the day, we meet at some place, possibly looking as different from our usual self as we can, just passing by through this area, then we will wait at that blind curve near the village. I chose that point because it’s not in sight and in that area there is no cell phone signal. Ramesh, you get them to leave a little late somehow… that can be easily done, I think… then you have to get the telephone exchange down. It’s not something that has not happened before, so they will not be too worried about it. The best way to do it would be to somehow cut the electric supply of the exchange. They don’t have back up so as soon as the lights go out, the phones go out; If we are lucky the power will be out as it is on that day.
It is the end of day 5 of NaNoWriMo, and I have hardly crossed the 1667 words deadline. So, I have fallen behind by four days. Bad, but not a lost cause yet.
I have been checking up on the NaNoWriMo site frequently and this year it seems to me that the site is a bit slower than last year. Maybe it is because of a larger number of people signing up for NaNo this year. But, one thing that I am really surprised by is that the word count API is still not working and neither are the word count widgets. Last year, I remember it was fun to see those widgets on people’s site, and know how they were doing with their novels.
The announcement on the front page of NaNo says that they are going to start working on them as soon as possible. I hope that they get the widgets to work real soon as 5 days of NaNo have already gone, and only 25 days of fun remain.
How are you doing with NaNo this year?
(P.S. – If you are here for the Robbery story, check back soon as I will be uploading the next part of the series very soon)
Day 3 of NaNoWriMo is upon us and I have not written a single word yet. Definitely not a good sign, and if something isn’t done about it soon, I think NaNoWriMo 2007 will be a lost cause for me already. But hopefully, things change today, as I am going to try and catch up with the almost 5000 words that I should have written had I followed the 1667 words per day regime.
For now, the only thing I have decided is that I am going to be writing a novella in the Romance genre, and it will be called “Digital Romance”.
How is it going for you?
P.S. This year I could not find the word count button that you can put on your site or blog. Anyone know what is up with that?

Ramesh looked first at one face and then at the other, and when he realized that the two friends were serious, he said simply, “Its not easy”
“That’s why we need your help, you will be our inside man!”
“The one who always gets caught.”
“And if you get caught, I am sure you will blurt out our names, so when we ask you to join us, we intend to keep you safe. One for all and all for one.”
“Let’s hear the plan,” Ramesh said after some moments of silence.
