Thought I would start blogging...Partly because I think it is high time I inflict my thoughts upon the world (or atleast on who ever cares to read this blog), partly because I been out of school for some time now and have forgotten how to string a few words together but primarily because of lack of anything better to do.
Ok..so here goes nothing. hmmm...Hmm...Hmmm...well, I seem to have struck writers block already. Or is it the utter lack of original or even plagiarized ideas?
Talking of having nothing better to do...it is funny how we waste our lives doing inconsequential stuff. Anyone worth his salt will tell you that how wasting time is sinful, how it is the most precious commodity available to us (a good partner(s) in bed would be an exception..), how we need to pack our time doing meaningful stuff, blah blah blah. This is a universal truth that all of us know...However, how many of us really do use our time effectively????Atleast not me...unless you call lolling on the sofa flipping channels on the remote life as one of life's wonderful experiences (perhaps it is, but not when it is indulged in day after day, hour after hour, night after night)...
Today being a holiday here in India, I woke up late with a terrible hangover, courtesy a few drinks last night. Made the customary calls to the parents and the wife early in the day...After this, I checked the position of my investments, found that the stock market is upbeat, helped myself to two glasses of wine and again went to bed. Lay all afternoon and a bulk of the evening thinking about the past, thoughts alternately flitting between the euphoria of successes enjoyed and the pain of failures endured. With the reminiscences came its sister - plans for the future. I spent time planning for the my future, for the future of my wife, daughter, parents....and while I was at it, even on how to improve society, the nation, mankind. By the time I was done, I looked out of the window and saw that the shadows of the evening were lengthening and covering what little was left of a beautiful day. What a waste of a way to spend a day...A day that was unique, a day that held so much promise, a day that Time has finished placing in her cupboard, never to be shared with anyone again... To be fair to Time, she had gracefully shared the day with me...however, I was too preoccupied with my musings to really appreciate her gift. And now, when she had forever taken it away, I am left with a feeling of loss, a feeling of ineptitude, a feeling of being cheated by none other than my own self. What could have been a chance to have a new chance to experience life was frittered away...
