Desultory Mentations

I'm spending a weekday at home after long. I mean a weekday where everyone else is working, and I'm not. Ofcourse there have been public holidays. I have a leave today since exams begin tomorrow. I really want to write - I know not what shall I write though.

The light is coming back to life. Have been spending more time with friends, being more open hearted now. I haven't been analysing everything that everyone says in too deep now. It's too stressful to do that. So have been taking things and people on their face value. Keeps you fresh and going.

I'm supposed to be neck deep in studying right now - but just can't concentrate. Heck.. okay, I'll probably do random things I feel like doing and then try to tie myself down with business management later.

The television is switched on and playing a popular bollywood song. I cannot hear it, since it's muted. But this song is familiar and that is why I recognize it. I wonder why, but I tend to do this often - leave the television and on mute - with random non sensical imagery on its screen. I don't want to unmute it, since I find it not too pleasing to hear.. need some calm. But I refuse to turn it off too. Whilst I am deeply engrossed in looking at the computer screen, reading, on phone, or just lying there. Why do I do this? I don't know. I wonder what sort of comfort it gives me to have multiple rays of light create images of people in colorful outfits jump and scream their guts out - screams I cannot hear... or choose not to.

I'll write later... I'm not thinking clearly right now.

Love,
Devil's Own

Came across your post yesterday,while surfing through blogs. You have a wonderful way of explaining whatever is going through your mind, very natural in the way you have penned down your thought process (a little contorted albeit). However, there are parts where I think I can understand and associate my experiences that incurred during graduate study ( which btw is still mercilessly going on :( ). Its just really nice to see that such random thoughts taking a somewhat tangible shape in the form of a blog snippet. Since it has been a year back you wrote this, I assume that now that you look at it yourself, would feel disconcerted and probably amused, not remembering how exactly you felt that day which made you write this.... Cheers!! :)
