Entry: Some Idle Ruminations Friday, November 19, 2004



Hmmmmmmmmm. I am tapping my fingers, racking my head what to write, I can’t find of a single thing! No, I don’t want to write about what happened today or yesterday or day before or even a week before, since I get real bored real fast when people start writing about just what they ate, whom they met, whom they called, etc. etc. It’s really bugging, is a blog now reduced to an online journal now???? I agree that there isn’t any specific layout or list of topics handed out to each and new blogger and a blog is what you can want to make of it. But still my protective instincts are too strong to give such an open window to my life to any tom, dick & harry who happens to pass by my blog to gape into!(there aren’t too many though! :D). Plus I am sure nobody wants to read how uselessly I am whiling away my time, or my read me whine about what all is wrong with my life! Sure there are some hilarious moments which are worth putting up on a blog, but apart from that I would rather depend on my life support system than do something like that. Speaking of LSS, I don’t even get the funda of “fwds”. Sure they are funny, provide some good rescue when in need, sometimes informative, but don’t expect me to forward them ahead. Coz takes up my time (not that I am doing anything particularly important with it, but I like to pretend that I might just have something important to do one fine day!)!!!!! I have around 80 unread distinct and unique forwards in my yahoo account that I probably will never read, but rummage through it when I am in need of LSS. In fact Shit List 1 & 2 came from that very Pandora’s box.
3 weeks of idle ruminations came to end. Again I was put in a position to ask myself why is my life so boring?(are you that naïve that u can’t make out from the blog????)Why didn’t I do something more constructive? Not that I didn’t try. I did, really did. & I did manage to get some fruitful stuff. But, boredom seeps in every empty nook and cranny of the patchwork that is life. Then it suddenly dawned on me, that life IS like that. Everybody IS bound by schedules, work and responsibilities, however small or old, wherever he/she is, whatever time it is, wherever they are & whatever they are doing. It all depends on one’s perspective. Life IS like a pale watermark with few colorful splashes. You can either see it as dull or see it as something that brings out the colors of the splashes. After all, you have to have the good with bad right? How can you appreciate the good when you don’t know what bad is like?
Are you wondering why on earth after almost saying goodbye did I write such a long post???? Well, I realized that a bad habit is hard to break. & I do have some thoughts still rattling in my brain that want to be typed. I’ll soon have to figure out a way to put them to rest. Until then you guys will have to content with this. Meanwhile I am going to have a look at my colorful splashes again.

Hi,Drifty,another nice post..See,that's what I've been telling u..just let your mind,your thoughts free,and you'll write some great things,things you muse over,things I'd muse over after reading ur muses.:)One line I loved is'Boredom seeps in every empty nook and cranny of the patchwork that is life'....thats something to think about....in times of ennui,of course..Normally,I don't get the moments to ponder thusly.:)Keep it up.

Guess there is nobody to come and tell you that you are rite.
(Apart from me, of course) :P

Well, true, everybody's life is bound by some guiding principle which have to be developed and controlled by themselves, not others. And to create time for thinking up and aligning some thoughts for blogging ought not to be very difficult, I guess.

Thank god I did not have your ID. Your mailbox would have run out of space.

And make up ur mind whether you want to break your bad habit or not?
