I wonder what it is that puts you in the mood to write and what it is that doesn't. I always thought your hobby is something that helps you to be happy when you are not. But it seems more like when I am not happy I can't write. :)
In the long interim period that I did not blog, there have been a zillion things that happened, came went, washed away ....... and somehow I was so absent minded all the time that while most of the things are there somewhere in memory , they do not agree to come up in sequence. (Effect of pursuing master's ...- "in sequence", "in memory" :) )
Memorable among these were, I went to attend a conference to San Francisco. SFO was awesome, the conference was equally motivating ..... there is a place called Sausalito which from the glimpse that I got of it I felt, was a wee bit of paradise. Best thing about California, which does not change everytime I see it,...... is that its so green.
I also caught some movies, somehow everybody nowadays calls me a movie buff, well in defense all I can say is ....atleast they give me a source of enjoyment and relaxation. :) But the movies that I caught, were Goodnight and Goodluck, The bicycle thief, Grapes of Wrath , ..... Fun with Dick and Jane. The last movie was one which I went off to watch alone. It didnt seem like a very novel thing to do .... I don't mean the going to the movie part, I meant the going alone part.
But it was only after one of my friends commented "Are you freaking gone mad" that I started to think if I had !! :) Then I finally came to the conclusion that I hadn't. Well until you go and watch a movie alone, or have fun alone and realise you don't need to depend on others to make you happy , you probably would not realise what I mean. Its just that I am tired of dragging people along to enjoy things that I enjoy and they don't. Atleast this way, I am not burdening someone under gun-point and I am doing what I llike the most.
So for this very nonsensical post, I think its best I end it right here before I let more sarcasm and cynicism get it by the throat.
