it's all about the STORY you tell!

In the middle of the day, when I have just so much more than enough to handle, I'm writing. It's because there are so many things in my head, it's better if i just put pen to paper, or finger to board and deep-six them. They're not worth keeping in the head for too long, nor will they stay too long. That's the thing. Writing relieves your mind, atleast mine for some time. Then in order to keep them with me a little longer, I dont keep ruminating it.
Anyhow, it's the D day. the One on which I leave for my rurals. But right now Im not thinking about how it's going to be. Infact there are a flurry of things that need done before that. That's keeping me preoccupied. There's a stupid literature review which my guide says is like an essay. There are no quotes et al. It's like an essay. Anyhow, i'll give it a little something and give it back.

The thing is, it's very important to package things really really well. I mean, your strait-laced things don't work at all. Weave your story around what you want to say, and make it compelling and it'll be told. For me, I don't make things clear enough to people that I believe in what I'm doing, therefore it becomes so easy for anyone to rebuff it. Anyhow, tell your story, and you'll do well. Zoo also tells me that.

Ya, so I stayed back for these classes which were going to be taken by a brilliant faculty from the industry. But he diidn't show up, and now both me and Nerdy feel so short-changed. I because Id wanted to hear his voice, his STORY, and she wanted to enjoy her holidays. Ofcourse neither of us got what we'd wanted. It's funny how it led to such a lose-lose situation. That is why I think it's all jinxed.
Anyway, the faculty that came in his place is sooo beautiful. I mean she's not beautiful beautiful but she's so beautiful. Every word she says is so melifluous. It's almost like music. It's people like her that make me love words so much. Seriously, I love words, words that are spoken so beautifully. She comes from BIG FM, and tells her story. She talks about radio as a medium so passionately. How it is such a strong, engaging, interactive medium that connects its audience up-close. Something that television hasn't achieved. And television is far-reaching. But radio's not a reach story. it's about the intimacy story.
Ya, so that's about BIG, but more about her. She reminds me so much of one of my favourite French teachers, who used to have a killer of a smile and one graceful woman she is.
She distributed chocolates to people who answered her. I didn't get any but the guys behind me did. I asked if they had left any, but they didn't and offered the wrapper. It's one of the most annoying things one could come across. Being offered a wrapper when ask for a chocolate. I mean not getting chocolate is bad enough.

Then I read a little about creative, design cities and how it's all about cities and not about states or countries any more. All cities are competing for each other. While they are looking for some heady development, there are a host of problems that make big and urban cities so bally unlivable. They're not pleasant anymore. So all about urban problems. So most of the attention goes on these issues rather than beautifying and planning a city out. But only yesterday I was talking to someone about what makes a city 'modern'. But could not really think of what makes it. If i'd read this article yesterday, maybe i could have contributed more. But it always happens right. Exactly after the GD where you didn't know what 'euthanasia' was, you read the article about the woman who was suffering so much (I forget her name). Somethings I think never go the way you want them to. So when you want to be seen as a certain person, or when you want your friends to behave a certain way in front of your first crush in school or something, it'll never never turn out like that. It leaves everyone embarrassed. Anyhow...

Ya anyhow, that's done. I will update the blog, once there is more I can think of. Mostly for some days I may not be able to write for the work and the other setting I'm in. So I pray forgive me. :D

Later
