Friday 8 August 2014

Well, hello again!

Boy, Oh Boy! Seems like I'm hell bent on improving my deteriorating track record.

I still can't believe we are in the 8th month of 2014 already. 2015, when mentioned, still seems like a timeline of a futuristic movie. 2004, 2005 seems like our times. Talk about being stuck in time. Glad its not 'Inception'.

With quite a few things happening, which I don't want to reveal at this juncture, life started turning, albeit a little slow than you would think. But again, it turning is by itself a boon. Speeds, well, you are not on an Aprilia RSV4, so can't expect anything on that front.

I got back to reading, after a really long hiatus. Started with Crichton's Congo and thoroughly enjoyed it. Biography of Mr. Jobs is ongoing as of now. The more I discover about that person, the more disconnected it seems. I'd expected to get inspired out of his demeanour, jump away from things I'm doing and hope to achieve something. I had hopes of getting feelings like I did when read 'The prodigal daughter'. Not yet, I'd say. Not to dismiss it because the certain traits I'd admired in him I still do, but because its the overall feel that I carry back after completion. Well, its not like I'm reading toxin in any case. For the record, I loathed it for all of the 8 and a half pages I got myself to read.

Well, today started with a slight degree of cribbing that I've not been creative enough. Yes, I consider blogging to be a creative thought process, which my fingers gladly contribute to, sometimes running on par, sometimes overtaking my thought process. And the only saving grace is that any creative process doesn't have to be awesome. Its a 'creation'. Just 'creation'. What is beyond that is simply a perspective. Few people use it to come down harshly on whats happening around, few people rant, few people quit.

Blogging for me, has always been my way of keeping track of my thought process and another important thing for me - language. I believe its quintessential for anyone who blogs, or writes to keep abreast and improve of what's happening around. And publishing stuff that people can read, making announcements so that you maintain doing them is one way of satiating yourself. Before I got to blogging, I would write songs - this was during my initial GRE preparation phase. I swear to God, I can't follow what I've written then. The habit waned, for which I'm glad. Meaningful, easy songs transpired, but that hasn't happened in a while as well. People could attribute it to the lack of inspiration. I'd beg to differ. Like I've said, ideas are everywhere. You must just look at it the right way. It all lies in you.

Bah! Too much philosophy. The bottom line basically is, I haven't blogged in a while, I've not written songs in a while. Some degree of writing, some degree of writing that can be published is what I'd missed. Other records are going on in gusto. I made a task list today morning and was shocked to see what all is pending. So with this, let me get back to striking more stuff of the list and keep updating.

See you around!
