Cogito Ergo Sum

Tuesday, January 30, 2007

okay, this post is the result of an inundation of complaints from a few regulars of this blog (God bless their souls!). its true that i'm suffering from a lack of inspiration to expresss, this piece comes as a savior to rescue January 2007 from being postless.

most of december and all of jan were spent in the joy of reunion, the pain of separation , the hope of worthfulness, the realization of my uselessness; moments of restlessness and weeks of indolence. Elaboration required after that corniness? here goes:


1. Ridz was here for her winter break. it took me no time to getting used to having my best friend live across the street again...just crash into her home and pour my heart out and gossip about JMC connections and laugh till tears welled out of my eyes and revisit all the favorite college haunts...and snap just like that she was gone. sigh. "we meet to part and part to meet...." and so that horrible saying goes.

2. Most JNU friends have their lives sorted out and i sit here in uncertainty and indecision.

3. Thinking leads to cervical pains which necessitate excessive sleep which causes a derangement of the mind.

the above pretty much sums up my present condition. its not that depressing actually. i finally begin to see the beauty in winter now that its less cold and the days are coquettishly cloudy.

    glad to see you writing again...

    yes the hope of worthfulness - such an easy, dreary, indulgent feeling to rescue us from the "slings and sorrows of outrageous fortune"

    nice phrase "coquettishly cloudy" though not as friendly to use as "borrow restlessness of the streets"

    the english language is surely adding new idioms :-)

    keep writing...

    Now its 2+ weeks since. Most probably, the winters are near to gone. The cloud cover is less resolute. You are still pulsated to think. In this sudden variety that life provides, everything's not lost.

    sarcasm was intended. incase u didnt notice.

    *sigh* my efforts at writing have been described at quotidian before. this is worse. ;)

     
  • At 12:52 AM, Blogger shruti said…

    that was "described as"

     
  • At 6:55 AM, Anonymous Anonymous said…

    That makes it even worse. Sarcasm was but a jaunt to all effort I intended.

    And however routine it might be, its still special. I dont anti-appreciate. Just a figure of speech da!!

    I came across here when i had no time
    Maybe just enough to leave a simple line,
    Neither am I vinu nor am I a shrink,
    Im only as strong as the coffee I drink.

    I'll be done soon, maybe 2 days hence,
    This was my effort in vain to try and make sense :S
