1. I vege out at home, like i've never done before. And like a vacation. In normal circumstances, I'd have become extremely restless at not having much to do, but this is like unwinding at it's best.
2. I'd worked a one-day interest in democracy and polls. We were inundated with messages about how we must not, as educated citizens let our vote go to waste.
However, I have to make a clean breast of my lack of knowledge about the candidates standing from this constituency. I also have to admit, that I knew little about their agendas and I still went to vote for the immense electoral pressure from media and everywhere else. But I do also know more people like me, who decided to stay back home and refrain, which as an afterthought was a better thing to do. This of course also emanates from a little bit of apathy, a little bit of despondence in parliamentary democracy.
I also feel that the low turn-out amongst electorates like me might be because of constant migration from everywhere to everywhere. They havn't stayed at a place for long enough to get a voter's id. That's a little sorry, considering how important we are as targets to a lot of election campaigns.
3. IPL is spiffy, crisp and interesting.
4. I don't like black-n-white as much as I like colours, considering works of nature, expressions and countenances describe well in just hues.
5. I feel at a loss for words sometimes. No not so much a language problem as much as just the lack of putting thoughts in words.
6. Conflate moon-lit nights, appearance and disappearance of our blotchy, fluorescent from floating clouds with crackers in the wedding season with terrace, personal and intimate thoughts and Phil Collins and it'll be worth it.
7. Lots of things about which to know, the urge is rising in the chest but the overload of information online and the fact that one does not get to learn from the internet when one knows what he/she wants to know forbid me in that endeavour.
8. It's partly the heat that takes me down a lot sometimes. Sometimes it's topped by the most heinous mosquitoes and the shortage of water. It's these times, more than anytime else, I like to live on a mountain in a mosquito-proof valley. On road, I see mirages everywhere. The road and suspended somewhere in air also.
9. Shed thy ego in driving and relationships. Don't say to yourself, 'let the car honk, I'll not let him pass' or 'Let me show that indiscriminate driver a lesson' or 'I'll not talk till he/she talks' or 'What the hell, it's not my turn'.
10. Let it flow, let it go.
Later
