the vaccuum


there are days when a blanket of blankness envelopes me. I dont feel like responding to a phonecall or the maid knocking at my door. im jus blank. no thoughts. no activity upstairs.

Russell peters may claim that its only the men who undergo bouts of blankness whereas the women spend their precious moments in pondering over "issues" which he claims are rather useless in real life. That gets me to wonder about the thinking process. both men and women. being a woman i cant deny i have rather tedious and very tiring thought processes and sometimes i can sense a physical shift in my head, a sort of a "settling down" of my brain . this happens in snatches of time , say , at the waiting period in a movie ticket queue, or at a coffee house waiting to be served.. all that heavy shifting inside eventually leads to blankness. i tune out. i have my radio signals suspended for a few mins. i go into some sort of a utter relaxation mode. i suddenly appreciate my surroundings. the trees, the annoying chirping of birds, the quarelling squirrils .......what i am yet to figure out is , if im in tune with myself or am i tuned out of myself!!!

anyways the point im making is, if men claim that the blankness dept is theirs, arent they unknowingly aknowledging the "thinking" that lead them to the state of calm?? if yes then how and why are the women accused of being the overthinkers??

go figure!!

Hey! Admitting to dandruff is embarrassing by itself but when it competes with the embarrassment of admitting to having hair lice, having tiny white flakes that stick on your shirt every time you move your head left to right, doesn’t seem so bad after all.. Well that’s pretty much how iv been dealing with this rather miserable and not to mention scalp burning catastrophe which struck me like thunderbolt (ok exaggerating a little here! ) . Here is how it happened!.. A couple of days ago my dads personal maid approached me with rather pink cheeks. ( ok ! so she is dark but the problem s...

The Right Privilege

The Right Privilege Today the voice of the Nation (News ) is talking about an end of an era. An era that was defined by a sense of entitlement that permeated through the layers of society and displayed itself through entitled aristocrat like behaviour.  The new age is about rights. Rights that are earned and cannot be passed on as privilege .They can be passed down through skill share. Hence the reestablishment of the Guru -Shishya parampara . (Teacher-Student tradition) What is entitlement? It is as if everything is owed to you. There is no room for choices or acknowledgement for the giver. Leave alone a thank you. Its direct access to their energies , only instead of them or mutual, you are the sole benefactor getting recharged. Its a bit like stealing.  Its a feeling of having everyones resources for ones own disposal, as it were a birth right to have what one wants, regardless of the consequences . We are rapidly moving towards a truly secular ...
