"...have been working on this area for the past twenty years" may perhaps matter much less compared to "have been critically thinking on this topic for the past twenty minutes".

A New Light
Yesterday, I saw a new light flashing in my mind --- a new light of knowledge:

Reduced Activity in sandeeppalakkal.blogspot.com -- An Investigation Report

PALAKKAL TIMES.
Stupid and irrelevant, or just a waste of time -- these are the phrases that you would most likely utter about the posts that appear in www.sandeeppalakkal.blogspot.com. However, you might have been surprised to see very less articles in that website recently. In fact, there was not a single post in April! So what's going on? What happened to the writer? Has he stopped writing? In this issue, Palakkal Times brings you an exclusive report on this most astonishing and unprecedented phenomenon.
For our team it was very difficult to meet Sandeep Palakkal this time. We searched all his dwelling places inside and outside IITM, and just failed. Even his close associates in IITM could not answer our question -- where is Sandeep Palakkal? They faced our questions with bewilderment and they were quite helpless. However, they gave us some clues on this -- a very important one that would finally lead to find the man.
After hearing what happened to Sandeep Palakkal recently, we spotted a few places in IITM where Sandeep could possibly be. Though we would not reveal those places publicly, we would tell you how we found him. It was almost evening, close to 6 P.M., and we were almost going to give up our search for him. One of our last places to search for him was the IITM stadium. We went there, and it was almost dark. It should have been very hard to find him among the numerous health-conscious men and women who came for jogging in the ground. But not quite so! Our attention was immediately caught by the lean man lying on the ground, as if he had fallen, with his hand pressing on the right side of his head. We first thought he was injured on the head when he fell down. We went near him to help him out, and we found -- the man we were searching for! He was not injured; neither he had fallen. Rather he was speaking on the phone, keeping it against his ear. Seeing us he grinned; his smile had an unmistakable touch of shyness. He showed us to sit and told the person on the other end of the phone that he was going to disconnect. We bombarded him with questions. In brief words, he told us (emphasis added):

"Of course, blogging has been one of my mind-soothing activities. And I know that it has been reduced recently. This partly owes to my increased focus in research [ഓ, തന്നെ തന്നെ]; but a major reason is that I spent most of my free hours with the system packed in red shown in the photo [he showed us a photo, which, for the readers' aid, is attached below]. I am connected with this system through India's 3G GSM wireless network. And my free hours -- i.e., freedom -- cripples [he was smiling]. But the overall performance of this new connection is extremely satisfactory."
(Lakshmi and Sandeep; they got engaged on July 20, 2010.)
We would like to tell our dear readers that we pestered Sandeep to talk more, but the more we pestered the little he spoke. He just added that he has been engaged with Lakshmipriya, who is a doctor (one who can prescribe medicine) and lives in the city of Calicut. When we asked for more details he told us to wait and see. We know that the readers are more curious as we are. But for the time being, we stop here. Watch these pages -- we will be adding more details as our most skillful reporters dig them out.
Question to the reader: who do you think was Sandeep speaking to when we found him in the ground?
