The thing about writing...

The thing about writing is that you never know when you might get the urge. Its like one moment your flushing the toilet and something comes out (pun not intended). But its always good to write, put pen on paper, fingers on the keyboard, thumbs on the phone keys. It relieves a lot of stress.

But sometimes you want to write so badly and nothing comes out. Theres this empty hollow feeling. You feel its not in you to make something happen. Something so simple like putting your thoughts down. At such times an experience, an  interaction with someone or even a silent cup of tea in an remote corner of some place does the trick.

And sometimes...THUD...you hit a wall, like the one I hit now. What am i writing? Is it making sense? Will people read it? What will they say? Will they like the stupid joke I cracked in the first line? ooof(sigh) So many questions about people. Its as if I am writing for them and not for me. Well I am. I want to know what people like. I want to know how to crack better jokes. I want to be free...(another song by Queen that blasted in my mind...sorry for the interruption). That is for what we are here for, to interact (I love acting by the way, someone please give me some role in a play or a movie...) !.

So I end this with a prayer. 

'I thank thee lord, for thy precious gift, thy brain is working fine and I am taking good care of it. Thy helpers-my friends keep it well oiled, and help it to rest when it needs. Hope thy light shines on them all and me-like it hath all along. I know your watching, so I await your 'LIKE' on thy own fb. Give me, thy humble servant, the stage to write and to interACT better, after I leave thy own CEPT"

- Thy humble servant

PS: My notes are getting bigger...Thanks man...I mean LORD, I thank thee...!!  _/\_

Empty lab on a Sunday Morning...

Under Pressure!!

These days the song that is keeping me up and moving me around is the 1981 hit single recorded by Queen and David Bowie- Under Pressure. I am yet to decipher all the lyrics but the two words clearly explain what me and all my friends in college must be feeling. But this note is not about the song or about why everyone is 'Under pressure'. (Some good advice: To enjoy reading this note more dont read but sing the words 'Under Pressure' ! Ideally you should be listening to the song)

Coming back to what this note is about- Breakthroughs

Three definitions here: 1. A productive Insight (Good to have this once a while)

                                                   
                                2. Making an important Discovery (Did this today morning)

                                                               
                                3. A penetration of a barrier such as an enemy's defense( My favorite)

Breakthroughs come at a strange time and often in strange places. They are lurking in the corners waiting to pounce on their unsuspecting prey! 

Often when these come you feel like doing something like what Archimedes did- running through the streets crying out Eureka !!  Eureka !! (No I did not do that today morning !!)

Often these things are short lived - till the point you discover there's another person in the street running naked next to you !

In any case its good to have a breakthrough once in a while and its even better to have one when your....(go on sing along..)

                                                            UNDER PRESSURE ! ! !

A new day (just like yesterday)!

Its 1:17 AM in the night. I am thinking about all my friends I am going to tag in this note. Most of them are probably asleep by now. Yet I am sitting in a room full of people who are lazily tapping away into their computers regardless of the time . I imagine my body floating towards my hostel room, an alarm to wake up early morning, and then, that wonderful bed encircling me. What I wouldn't do to make that happen.

Yesterday was the same, with me sitting through the night tapping away on my computer. I remember waking up at around 4 am , with the G H B N M of the keyboard imprinted on my forehead.

Then the day before, I remember getting up at 2am , sitting at my desk and working till 7 before heading to have chai.

Now. Drifting back (to the room full of people lazily tapping away into their computers regardless of the time) in realize that the flash back is over.

Today is another day(just like yesterday). 

Tomorrow will bring a new day(just like today). 

Whats important is that we keep doing what we are meant to and remember that a new day is always around the corner.

Have a nice day!
