Saying a lot, saying a little… who cares?
thinking. or the lack thereof.
either nothing at all happens. or so much happens that i can’t even talk.
or things happen that stun me to the point i’m just unable to talk.
i’m a little worried about what is happening to my brain. either i’m losing the ability to emote; or at some point of time, i’m going to lose it. big time. ouch.
there was a point of time when i commented that i was able to freeze on every thought and follow it to its logical conclusion. analyze, realize and so on. but somehow thats not happening anymore. the constant avalanche means that i have to actually note things down when they come to me.. or i lose the thought.
i wonder how many inspirations have been lost because the thinker has simply not written them down. i know that half the time i try to make a “mental note”.. which as a general peice of information does not exist. it serves as a reminder when you see that someone else has also come up with the idea much later.
speaking on general notions, i’ve come to realise that hypocrisy is inherent to human nature. we comment, condemn, judge… but none of the above apply to us. we sometimes even believe.. but ignore the belief when it suits us. unfortunate but true. survival and lack of hypocrisy cannot co-exist.
there is no reason for me to say this, its just something thats in my head right now.
regret and hindsight are commonplace. we can ignore the conclusions to try and make ourselves feel better, but this only means they come to haunt us even more. our minds analyzing capabilities can only be suppressed for so long. any activity we indulge in eventually become monotonous to the brain.. and so redundant activities will be indulged in. thinking and re-thinking.
i’m realising a lot of the things i indulge in are simply to divert my mind.. so that i don’t do this. my form of hindsight usually involves major problems in self-belief.. something i am trying to avoid. yes, i know this is not a solution.
and reality sucks. no matter what.

the twitter effect

Barely three posts in the last month. Mandatory Twitter-joining post has happened in the meanwhile. 218 tweets in 10 days have happened since. Nothing on this blog. Even now, I’m struggling with what to write right now. Worth thinking about when I’m about to renew my hosting plan. p.s. I’ve “paused” my twitter account.

I’ve jumped in headfirst. Tweeting. Left, right and center. Yessirree Bob. Yada yada yada. Srsly. And now to repeat things I’ve heard before (for eons) but which have dawned on me as actually making a lot of sense. So yes, this post might be a bit dated for some of you. At first, I assumed

For a change, I decided to jot down the thoughts that were coming to me while I waded through month-old Reader items. Warning: It gets pretty long. [Yes, I actually have a set of Reader items that I ensure I catch up with daily, and another set that I’m sure I will always be behind

There were many options that struck me when I heard of Ada Lovelace Day (HT: Raghu). At first, I wanted to take the safe options and just write about Blissenobiarella or Dors Venabili. To celebrate fictional characters, who are not really women scientists or engineers either, didn’t seem to ring true with the spirit of

Google’s latest experiment – Buzz – has been launched to the world recently, with varying degrees of appreciation, hate, irritation and all the reactions that every new social idea is greeted with. Personally, it is a social media outlet/inlet that I can get on board with – seeing as how it integrates nicely into my
my problem with hindi movies today

There have been any number of reviews about the latest from the Bollywood stable (My Name is Khan) – ranging from vitriolic to sarcastic/mocking to adulatory. I could write reams, spew abuse galore, and point out in how many different ways the movie gets it wrong… but I won’t. That’s too easy. Plus, people have already done a pretty good

This is the 4th attempt I’m making at trying for a halfway decent beginning to a post. Have I really been reduced to saying such banalities? I can’t quite believe it. When I look at my front page, most of my recent posts are about movies. Reviews, basically. Most of my recent posts have also

The world has been talking about the Google Chrome OS. We have people saying ‘next big huge thing‘, and obviously, ‘next big huge steaming pile of crap‘. Me, personally? I haven’t, and still don’t like the idea of Google having a browser on the market – it reeks too much of a company trying to

[Thoughts due to: io9: Who Created Spider-Man? ] It is a deal-breaking case that has been filed against Marvel Comics, probably fueled by the recent success of Siegel vs DC for the Superman copyright (and the acquisition of Marvel by Disney too?). My own WTF was fueled by whether Spidey even belongs to this dispute
