Deciding to write a blog!

After a lot of deliberation, I decided to write a blog. I hope to continue it, but in the past I've given it over before I could begin to feel how it feels to own a personal diary. Anyhow, it's not about regularity but about writing about things i feel about, things that i would otherwise forget and basically organizing my thoughts!

It's a good day to start writing. There were some interesting discoveries that I made today. For eg. absolut mango + appy and absolut Pears + Nimbu paani are not lethal. That I laugh a lot sometimes, without reason. That even pregnant, ugly lizards can pass through the little creak from my hostel room. And on trying to find out what else that little creak was capable of doing, i found out that it could also encourage voyeurism. But like any problem has more than 1 solution, this one also had. I discovered that my cupboard was strategically placed, so that if i were to open the door to my cupboard, I could sleep the way i wanted, with abandon.
It was also today, that i found out that the 22 years that are past me now, have a pattern to them. And I think, that pattern is going to repeat and I should be able to manage it. Oh, I want to learn how to read Tarot cards.

Last night was a roller-coaster. Did a lot of things. Felt happy and guilty and happy and guilty. Happy, because I don't really know, guilty because i didn't know why I was happy. I was escorted by a certain someone back to the room, with much love. But I had a late night, or should I say an early morning. But i still didn't have it. I mean, i couldn't sleep much. Something in my stomach was thinking...Thinking hard. But a certain someone tried hard. ....

In the afternoon, I got up to understand the consumer for Colors channel. All of yesterday, we in MICA, watched COLORS, to see the programming line-up of the show. To see how to consumer's psyche works. I dont know how it works, i dont think we were able to figure out. They say, that it;s meant for the youth. But I doubt it. Nothing about it is youthful. Neither Jeevan Saathi nor Balika Vadhu, nor Big Boss. Atleast not a youth like me. To my restless mind, it'd be difficult to watch one channel or one formula based saga like they show on Colors. But the numbers still show that it's fairing famously. It's already ousted Sony TV. But I have a feeling, it's confused positioning. Maybe the people they say it is meant for are not watching it, and others out of their target group are watching it.

Anyhow, after doing that, I slept for a bit, but only for a bit. Got up to have the brilliant Chinese snacks, which exacerbated my motions. It should be ok by tomorrow. I think it's because of those stupid anti-biotics that I was prescribed for my stupid knee injury, which some days back had developed puss. But I HATE pill-popping. It was only because mummy insisted, that I had them. But it's made my knee itchy. Mummy also says that an antibiotic course has to be followed properly.

And then worked for a bit and here I am writing a blog, which I wrote after much deliberation.

I intend to keep writing, but in the past I have given it over before I could experience the feeling of owning a personal diary. Sorry for the repetition. But it drives home the point better.

I just realised, this is what I am going to do. Spill out in this space, the discoveries that I make every day. Sorry for the long blog...but I'm just beginning to learn to write. I will become more concise with time, and also I had to establish a setting, a window from which one could look. That's it for now...
Later

brilliant start into documenting daily discoveries... especially enjoyed the door creek story and the use of repetition to drive home the important message, ;)
