So its that time of the year again when I start hallucinating a lot and generally make and support a load of nonsense every now and then.

Like I discovered that I am losing the thin line of difference between studying and sleeping.
The situation at home is indeed very soothing. My mother has opened up about her expectations from me. and she just wants me to pretend to study. So every day, I have a bath in the morning and I lock myself up in my room. My mother seems happy with my pretension and I just sleep and stare at the blank computer screen. I also listen to Bryan Adams. A lot.

Although, come to think of it, I do have to study a lot. I mean they start from the 18th of April. The exams. And all I can think of is how to differentiate between mauve and violet shades of dried up nail polish.

And I was on Facebook and I had this dangerously lame feeling. Something to do with around 20 of my friends having sent me the invites to the "what were you in your past life?" test.

It was scary.
Since I've been staring a lot this week, at things , at animals at sugar cubes even, I have mastered the art of selective staring. Like when you select an object out of a cluster of objects and just stare at that object.

I feel very peaceful after having stared at something for more than six minutes at a stretch. I also feel a little stupid but then peace, is the essence of life. I will do anything for peace.

But the facebook-staring-exercise-gone-wrong was far from peaceful. Just how would you feel if you saw something like..



[Some jobless person]wants to know what you were in your past life.
[Some jobless person] wants to know what you were in your past life.
[Some jobless person] wants to know what you were in your past life.
[Some jobless person] wants to know what you were in your past life.
[Some jobless person] wants to know what you were in your past life.
[Some jobless person] wants to know what you were in your past life.
[Some jobless person] wants to know what you were in your past life.

etc etc.

It just scared me so much that I stopped staring.
Instead, I decided that I should behave like a responsible person for a change and do something to change the world. If not change the world, then at least do things that will not ruin my future and will help me to become a better human being at the end of the day.

I started playing scramble.

So all you people, whenever you have bright and grand plans of changing the world and you're about to set forth to fulfill your ambition,don't even think about taking me along.

I was thinking about all people I've had crushes on till now.
I was amazed to find out that I think very highly of myself.
Just when I was fooling around with fond remembrances of all the school girl crushes I've had and the odd three crushes that I've had while I was in college and then this thought struck me "how lucky of those people that I have had a crush on them!".
But then this thought was so very weird and arrogant by my standards that it was strongly unfamiliar.
And then this other very useful thought struck me.
"Maybe I should blog about it."

And then I thought.

"I won't be able to explain stuff as nicely as ..say..Salman Rushdie...See thats the difference. Thats why he is a writer...and me..I am just a blogger".

Now this was the kind of self-demeaning thought that made me sigh a sigh of relief and assured me that I haven't changed after all.

Now all people reading this post...you might be wondering yet another time... Whats the point?

but then I would have to remind you yet another time ...there is none. Even if there is one, its well hidden under my plump confusion about the state of affairs in general.

So well..what I wanted to say is that. I had this brilliant idea of getting back at all those random people who have made me look stupid at some point. [You see I often am at a lack of arrogant get backs in real life]

I start off with a junior in college with a French beard of sorts. I had wished him "Good morning sir" once.

so, Hello mister... Its not my fault that YOU look old.


Then there was this guy who had passed snide comments when I was feeding some street dogs in front of Classic stores.

so again... Hello mister... [is this Hello mister thing getting very cheesy?]

I am so sorry I dint feed you first. I was just following the "Bitches first" rule.

[Technical clarification. It was a bitch,which of course, I found out later]

Before I get into a bash-full mood, I will go sleep a little. =))
