here’s an interesting TED talk
Alain de Botton: A kinder, gentler philosophy of success
Maybe it can calm our nerves f***ed (it could be frayed) by recession. :P. And wondering where the hell our careers (or the semblance of it :P) is going?
I feel like I am caught in a time warp. Some-time in the last decade, between 1998-2006 somewhere. I count back time, internally from somewhere in between. Came to light when I said “that was 1995 ~ 10 years ago” and other such statements repeatedly.
Am I getting old? — I am not ‘thaat’ old, looking forward to my 25th birthday. But somehow, I can feel the generation gap starting off. Or is this time-paranoia (is there such a word?) or something, I do not know…
Does time freeze somewhere about your early 20′s? Fossilising you in the frozen mass? Everything after that is slightly dis-associative. The stuff that we enjoy (blogs, company…) are of the same frozen batch? A collective frozen in time and thinking?
Vaguely depressing…
Why is it that most (only) comments to my posts come from spammers!!!
This is an outrage!!! I would appreciate some ‘real‘ readers for a change [Plagiarized: link]… Agreed, real is an open ended word – a lot of people do not agree on it but let us take it as granted – an axiom – though obviously ill-founded.
All you spammers — I will not accept your comments. I do not feel that loser-ish (not yet, I may soften up by next week :P)…
Why do I keep at it? I mean what is the point of this blog? It is a glorious waste of time….
But I am vainglorious [dictionary link]. Let me have this, fickle of fancy, grant me this harmless luxury. This is my equivalent of shouting from a rooftop (I do not think that I have the guts to really shout out from rooftops). I should try — next time, that I am insanely happy. You have to be insanely happy, otherwise there is no point in shouting from rooftops, or is there?
See I digress, this may be why you do not read me. But LIFE is nothing but a life long digression, I love digressions. A straight line is simple and slightly boring. Un-constrain the squares and you have circles, ellipses,…. Check random (any degree till infinity goes) and you have the real world [citation needed]
Oh I try pretend to be profound for bots!!! That should be the height of vanity!!! Let the pretense stay — and now for something so profound that even I said wt* when I read this :P
There is nothing as profound as nothing. [that was the profound part, in case you did not get it]
lose yourself in the infinitude of these 3 dots …
<End of Post>
<General Chatter>
phew! with that out of the way let me get to a looonggg P.S:
This was written when I saw the dismal blog-stats :P (x-axis is so boring, so predictable), surprise me!!!
But then I thought — I can write anything I can imagine, and anything I can’t, I can bare my soul, and pretend to bare my soul, I can pretend that I am so full of ****, or be so full of ****, I can be myself, pretend to be myself or be somebody else — as I am pretty sure that nobody is going to read this. This is *NOT* an outrage this is great invigorating :D… also I could stop! :)
Toils of a week ahead, not exactly an exiting prospect — All ye fellow toilers, comrades, fortify yourself, May the thought of my weekend posts help you endure the interim :P… Tuesday is a holiday in India — Republic Day (If not, I think it-is/ought-to-be a crime to make you work that day, not sure — but you could look it up).
Ya, who am I kidding, I post on utterly useless stuff — who would read this … even I would not want to read this… oh, that explains a lot…
Well this is a real outrage!!! Fastest growing wordpress blogs lists Navya Nair Reception Photos (dare click that link?)!!! No comments…
A black-green terminally cubed existence
Not my idea of fun, or is it?… delusions… of grandeur
I sell myself to 5 days of that shit
So cheap a price – a red paper crump a day
The 5 days of shit, the weekends of bliss
~

In contrast, my relative happiness — cubed, uncubed
To dream, to sleep, to be, or not to be, to…
A book, a wink, a movie, a though, a post, a…
The infinities of possibilities, to permute and combine
To-list and to mark-as-done, activity to mask the inactivity
Vague reminders of my grand pre-cube days
~

Bid up ya all, happiness and a bit of soul
To hell with meanings, purpose — vanities
I am a judas, i am a faust, i am a common-place whore (@ a lower cost)
I am an engineer in my high-rise cube….
