I am sitting here amidst a cluster of computer code. Slightly high on Blender's Pride. Some Baul Blues is running in the background (my laptop). The words go something like 'My restless mind doesn’t listen to me'. Some amazing blues guitar tinkles ceaselessly. It’s a fast 4-4 beat. My mind has surprisingly calmed down. All the deliveries seem to be passé.
'You can’t be tied down. O my mind calm down or else I’ll never understand you.'
I have become blind to the glaring lights of my cube. The irritating AC doesn’t seem to disturb me anymore. Outlook just told me that I have a meeting in another 15 minutes. I am hardly prepared for the meeting. But who cares.
'Your wild dream will crash when you know that you are uncontrollable. You never listen to me O my restless mind'.
It’s been 3 and a half years since I have mustered up pointless words like these. Exactly 162 of them so far.
Outlook buzzes again. 5 minutes to the meeting. I open my PPT.
'You can’t be tied down. O my mind, calm down, or else I’ll never understand you.'

Howdy!
I checked my blog after a real long time. I happened to read through my last blog and oh freeeeaak!! Looks like I was pmsing or something! Crap!
Anyhoo. Here's something: I have taken to watching movies alone. No seriously! Its not that I am doing it out of compulsion or anything. Lets say I'm revelling in the solitude. You know, solitude doesnt necesarily translate to loneliness. I really enjoy it when I recline in the soft multiplex chairs, the AC going full blast, some jazz oozing out of the dolby speakers and humanity swirling around me, looking all busy and happy. Its supremely interesting to watch the people all around me. Everyone has at least one extra thing to do apart from watching the movie. Someone wants to balance his popcorn right so that it doesnt spill on his girlfriend's skirt. Someone has to check the long list of tickets so that his family and extended family of total 16 members manage to locate the right seats. Someone has to crack a stupid joke to appear funny infront of his friends. Mien Gott!
And then there's me. :) With a satisfied smile on my face. My butt comfortably nestled on the cushioned seat. Brain signals normal. Body temperature perfect. Thoughts expansive. Mind relaxed. Facial muscles arching a smile. Its fun guys. Try doing it. Its almost like a drug. :)
BTW, here are movies I watched: Kites (aaargh), Prince of Persia, Badmash Company. All in two days. Oh Fun!!
