Meet my IVAN– Inner Voice that Annoys and Nags.
Rather a loose description, but then, Ivan IS loose. 
For example, a few days back I was kinda feeling glad about having assigned the color blue to love, in the series of haiku poems I’ve been writing in which I gave a color to each emotion. I started to think about a drink to associate love and the color blue with, like hope-yellow-lemonade-sweet, and happiness-pink-zinfandel-intoxicating. And suddenly Ivan shrieked happily : “Copper sulphate solution!”
So, right now, he’s doing an excited tribal dance, celebrating the beautiful (*rolls eyes*) way in which he has bonded together me, love, and—you guessed it—CuSO4.
Now you see why I hate this Ivan sometimes?

yeah, IVAN is darn strong, but so exasperating!
quite a serendipity it was to stumble upon your blog...and hey I too hear those voices

Tried the subtle form of plagiarism, didn't you? This 'IVAN' character of your is such a direct lift from Sayesha's (http://sayesha.blogspot.com) IAN and anyone who's been following her blog can easily tell that.
Please get original.

@ Snigdha
I appreciate your concern over a writer's work, but look, neither did I do any plaigairism nor intended/tried to. I
myself am a reader and appreciator of Sayeshaz and I honour all that she writes.
This IVAN post was composed and posted even before I read about her IAN and come on, can't two people feel an
inner voice that's always present as a running commentary in the back of their minds? A kind of psychological
alter-ego? Ain't a very exclusive phenomenon, is it? From all that I have heard from many people, it is a very
common occurence. You can't blame me for feeling that way. I read Sayesha's post just right now, an even she says
in it -- "I think we all have it in us."
I got to thinking upon an acronym for the 'voice' while writing this post and of course, 'inner' was the first word to
come to mind. Hence the name IVAN. I assure you and even Sayesha, if she ever happens to stumble upon this, that
the similarity is totally unintentional. Just a coincidence perhaps. That's all I've got to say.
