For better or verse

Re- Write?

This is probably the most eventful year of my life upto now.
 
I went to this beautiful resort in Goa with friends and made sure I got drunk on the local beer every single day of my 5 day trip. I finished my MBA and called my parents and grandparents down to the ISB campus for a beautiful convocation function. My grandmother fell ill at the end of the trip and I spent an anxious month nursing her back to health. I started a new job in a new city (Pune) and had all the corresponding headaches relating to shifting base. And finally I decided to get married to my long distance boyfriend of two and a half years. The wedding may be at the end of this year sometime and before that happens I'll fly off to the US for 2 months.
 
In short - this year is eventful.
 
And yet, this is the only year of my life when I have not felt the need to write. Writing -  the form of expression that has been my constant companion ever since I can remember, no longer is my first instinct. For as far back as I remember, I needed to write when something happened - when I visited a friend or a new place, when I got another world-saving idea, when I read a pretty verse or well-written novel. People talk, crib, rant, sing, dance, act, laugh. I wrote. And just like that, I stopped.
 
So what made me stop I wondered today as I was musing my favourite question - the purpose of the whole enchilada (a.k.a. this life). Some theories theories stood out as having part of the solution. Maybe now that I talk to this other person on a daily basis and tell him all I think, I don't need another medium of expression. Maybe I am just getting old and its time for the imaginary friends (including the diary) to die. Maybe I am just bored and once I recover, I shall be back writing award winning, heart -rending books in the next year. Maybe I have seen too many changes, become too practical and nothing touches anything inside anymore. Maybe I have been insanely buzy this year participating in the events that made the year eventful so I haven't had the time. Maybe I have writer's block.
 
Or maybe this is not a phenomena that needs so much examining in the first place. I think the last idea is the one I most like. So I am gonna stop wondering why I don't write anymore. And if someone else still visits this blog - they should too. Maybe I will write again, maybe I won't but it was fun while it lasted is all I can say.
 
So dear friends (this could be a monoact delivered to an empty hall) I shall see you when I do. Till then...toodle-ooo

quandry

no particular hate and no particular like
every option is alright, just that they are all alike
the trouble it begins whenever one must choose
each decision starts to look some what like a noose
good at this, or better at that
its all the same pal, a broken thermostat
there is no difference, in ideas one to ten
the only hope, perhaps the pen
but ink too flows in broken spurts
addresses issues some days, then months it skirts
so why existance, philosphical the question arises
maybe further on theres purpose, the tired mind surmises

Right Now

Define happiness: A cup of coffee, a lonely walk along the campus singing a song loudly in the middle of the night. Maybe I'd be able to write after this....

Whats the point?

 
 
It's weird how some public figures, namely the two most recent American Presidents seem to say and do the funniest things in front of the camera. This particular one has already paid his dues, many times over, but continues to amuse. Here's the link to a video I saw on YouTube that I thought was funny.
 
 
 p.s. my new resolution is to write as often as possible....

My Temprament says a 5 second test

You Have a Sanguine Temperament

You are an optimistic person who is easily content.
You enjoy casual, light tasks - never wanting to delve too deep into anything.
A bit fickle, it's easy for you to change plans or paths when presented with something better.

You enjoy all of the great things life has to offer - food, friends, and fun.
A great talker, you can keep the conversation going for hours.
You are optimistic and sure of your success. If you fail, you don't worry about it too much.

At your worst, you are vain. You are obsessed with your own attractiveness.
A horrible flirt, you tend to jump into love affairs and relationship drama easily.
You're very jealous - which just magnifies the craziness around you.

What Temperment Are You?
