BLANK!It has been almost 2 months since I have posted anything on my blog. Infact at one point,I almost forgot I had a blog. Yeah, ofcourse no big deal! its just a damn blog! Well, I got bored, busy and most of all ran out of things to blog about. I know people say that blogs are for random thoughts and discussions. But, I was even out of random thoughts and discussions....I guess am going through a sort of a blank phase.Coming to that, I feel like days are just rolling by. Nothing really happening...I feel like precious time is being wasted and no positive consequences. Have you ever felt like some days are just blank....they dont mean anything, its just sheer waste of time...Like you havent really done anything,learnt anything, achieved anything or even realized anything new about yourself or the world? it is not like you are depressed....your just sort of blank! waking up, working, sleeping and the same routine day in and out.Very monotonous! Maybe i'm just overreacting and probably no one really thinks about all this. But, I suppose for a person who likes constant change, it is hard not to feel that way. I absolutely despise monotony of any kind. I embrace change. It sort of adds spice to life. However, we cannot be too choosy about our life bcos its so unpredictable...and thats the irony of the entire situation...the more you want something, the more you dont get it...So, then like millions say, take life as it comes...Then again, its so much easier said than done...and so i'll just leave it to that....:)
Pink Floyd & Me?!?!
Just to curb your curosity about the heading of this post, this is not some fanatically "I love Pink Floyd" write up. It is just about how yesterday I finally managed to burn a Pink Floyd CD with all their albums. What sort of provoked me to write up this post was that the friend from whom I burnt the cd was amazed to know that I listen to Pink Floyd. Infact he said "I am impressed!" What does that mean?!?!? Does my choice of music make me less or more of a person? What is so impressing to listen to Pink Floyd?
That is what sort of intrigued me...I mean here I was yesterday raving about a cute little baby's effect on my mood and today I am talking about Pink Floyd. I know Iam probably making no point at what I'm trying to say and there is for sure a huge question mark in your mind as to what the hell am I talking about...Well, I'm talking about music and the character or personality of a person. I never thought of this so much as today. Come to think of it, even I have in the past made fun of people who like boy bands (maybe that was just me being silly and juvenile).But I never used that as a matter of being impressed or not. As a teenager I used to love them, but as I grew older, I grew out of them. But ocassionally, I do like some of their songs. But, does that define us to such a point that our music choice can be "impressing or not impressing"? I just dont get it! I have often heard my friends ridicule and jest at people who listen to a certan sort of music particularly pop and even the whole idea of listening to boy bands is termed as "Gay". I thought music was for our pleasure and relaxation, why has it become such a matter of judgement. Has anyone ever contemplated about this?!?
Random & Baby!Been pretty lazy in the past couple of weeks to post something on my blog. I have been quite regular at others blogs but, ignored mine...Well, I shouldnt really say ignore, more like just couldnt think of anything worth it to blog about. My days have been just rolling on, with nothing new or interesting happening to actually talk about. My brain has been sort of dead...I just dont feel motivated enough to blog about anything.
Today after much thinking, I figured let me just be random. Talk about anything and maybe nothing... Okay lets start at work, since most of my time is spent in my office working, reading news, see thats one thing that I have been upto date about, the happenings of the world. Anyways, getting back to work, what should I say, it is good, not excellent, some days are busy, some just are boring. But, everyday, one thing that always cheers me up is my boss's little baby girl! who she is allowed to bring to work thanks to our President who is so very understanding. She is truly a bundle of joy :) Each day seeing her cute little chubby face fills me up with this happiness that is so inexplainable. My breaks are playing with that little "doodle bug" as her mom calls her. She smiles and squeals whenever she sees me. I love it! So, to me its one of the most joyous things in life. My boss always calls me whenever she does something new or does something funny :), every week I see her grow, get healthier and chubbier which is the best thing ever! It is amazing! I had never imagined that this little turn of nature is so nice. have always been with babies and I'm very comfortable with them, I say that because I know a lot of people who get nervous holding,or taking care of a baby. But, I realized that seeing a baby grow closely is far more of a nice feeling than just playing with them for a moment.I love being around them and these days, I am always around one which is the sweetest thing ever! :)Well, so that was me randomly talking about a cute little baby who makes my day everyday :)Sometimes, little things give us the most pleasure in life. I agree with this statement more now than ever...:)
"Bedford Diaries"
Wednesday (29th March), I saw the premier of this new TV series which dealt with sexual histories of college students and what they would change about it. At first on watching the trailers for the series, I thought it was one of those raunchy, crazy sort of series which was nothing but bunch of horny college students going at it left and right. But, on watching the first episode,it is more than just sex. (pardon my candidness). It is about college students lives,relationships and not just some cheezy ,typical story of some group of friends. But, it sort of shows a true picture of college life in New York. I found it pretty interesting and worth watching. I somehow thought of it as a mature version of college life (atleast that is what the first episode made it seem like).I do not watch a lot of serious sort of TV series, I usually enjoy the regular comedy series. But, after "Grey's Anatomy" and "Veronica Mars" I would make time to watch this one. So, I would say a thumbs up to this new series on WB39 on wednesdays for now atleast :)
Hmmm...
Exactly! that is how I feel, I have been thinking for a few days on what to put up on my blog. I am bored of the regular topics. Lately,nothing interesting enough has been happening for me or around me atleast that has evoked my thinking cap. I just kind of feel bored and blank! I didnt want to just sit here and randomly pour out my thoughts. I wanted to discuss something different, something controversial and current. The news has been dry, except for immigration laws in the talks and rallies all over to demonstrate the revolt against new laws. In india Sonia Gandhi's resignation from Lok Sabha caught a bit of breeze. But over all bombings in Iraq and crime all over just make you realize how cruel the world has become. A few days back , an article about global warming on CNN caught my attention. It was sort of hard hitting, but no immediate solution emerged, just the same old electric and wind power chantings on saving the world from heating up. TV shows do not interest me anymore. I think reality shows are a waste of time and so typical.
I am beginning to feel like some old maid...ooh no! what a realization,scary! Well,I guess just that phase where everything is sort of boring,nothing new or exciting.Just plain life rambling on....
So,any ideas on how I can make my blog more inviting and current?!? I am new to the blogging world, so still trying to make my presence felt...:) suggestions, advices are welcome! :D
Reminiscent...
Yeah, lately been confronted with my long lost hobby of writing poems. This got me reminiscing about my years as a teenager when I was naive, stupid and full of dreams. Talking about those poems, they are ofcourse silly and I am quite embarrassed about them. I get all red in the face whenever somebody brings those up and I feel like wish I could erase them out of memory. But, at the same time, I realize that atleast I have grown from my junvenile years when I was so naive and dreamy about everything. There was a different sort of eagerness then. Now, its more about being in sync with reality and being rational. Thinking about all that, I started remembering how we were so innocent and somewhat stupid in our younger years. We were full of hopes, aspirations, most of all enthusiastic about everything in life. Then when we have experienced it all, thats when we realize, how over rated everything is...hmm...doesnt all this sound boring!!!
Anyways, typed this blog a couple of days back, stopped half way between and now have no idea what point I was trying to convey...ahh..crazy me...confused as ever!!! :)
Reality Bites!
How original is that heading.Anyways, the main reason for that heading is because I consider the true meaning of those two words. Reality hurts, in fact now that I think about it, reality not only bites,worse it drains you out of hope. People are often cosy and content in their comfort zone,living in their little bubble, weaving dreams and then suddenly, there comes along the reality, the bitter truth that tears down your little world. We obviously have hope that helps us back into our bubble and frankly, thats the only thing that drives us to survive in this crazy world. Hope! hope that we will get over our problems soon, hope that tough times will pass soon, hope that we will get stronger and learn to face reality. What would we do without hope?!?!? Ofcourse there is always the solution of being practical, but what is being practical, does it mean to be hard hearted and not dream?!?! or does it mean just knowing your situation well enough to react on it? I dont know...I always thought I was practical enough to understand what is right and not get carried away in the flow of rosy pictures. But, today as I think about it, I am not too sure about it. Reality is too harsh for me. I am running from myself, I am running from the solution because I feel like I am not practical. Then why did I always believe that I was...so is being practical relative to every individual? See, suddenly, I seem lost...!!!!
PS: Dont worry, I'm not that distressed as I sound in this blog. Just been thinking a lot. Yes, too much time on hand I suppose :)
