A Block

I'm not a prolific blogger and yet the blogger's block or the old-fashioned writer's block has lasted the longest, I think....since my last (and that too, very trivial) blabbering. This has been happening even when new stories were being written every day, different deaths being experienced every day and getting on varied high-s and low-s of life, every day.

Yet, when asked how we're doing, we reply "I'm fine/So-so/cholchhe"! There is no other alternative to stating our "happy" and "okay" status to friends, foes and strangers. That slot has to be filled in; lest the aforementioned friends, foes and strangers creep in into our lives with unwanted impression. In addition to unwanted situations and unwanted baggages, who wants unwanted impression of footprints?

Not me, much alike others.

Even then, considering the highly exhibitionist nature and strangely exhilarating effect of blogging, here's a very brief update of sorts...

1. Finally, I found a roommate and after Trista (of Windsor) I haven't got such a nice and friendly roommate in years. Thank fate or God or whoever decides these things, for that.

2. I've re-learnt how life could be led without Internet in this month; the lesson hasn't been happy but it was surprising to notice that in absence of the most highly held privilege, necessary work does get done faster, and better.

3. No. 1 stated above was balanced out by learning new things about old friends. Unpleasant things. I learnt that some persons could never evolve from being assholes but I did learn it the hard way; so I decided not to learn anymore like this, and so, have erased them from my life. For anyone trying to do some guesswork, these are college friends, and involves a handful of incredible MCPs.

4. I've been getting some work done on my proposal. It's not as much as it's possible ideally speaking, but then, some is better than none.

5. For the first time in my life, I liked Pink! This embarrassing revelation came to be when I was trying to buy my camera, and I actually thought the pink model looked more sleek. May I explain that it was a very different pink? I guess that's pretty much obvious...since it's me who liked pink!

6. It snowed today in Calgary.

7. One of my closest friend, Nishil (nickname/pet name) replied to a scrap after months. Heart-warming to know that somebody has me in their brains.....that somebody being someone I care for.

8. I've noticed that loners and lonely people exhibit that loneliness everywhere: in bus/train/transit, when they're walking alone and even when they are gymming; I could pick up a loner, any day, anytime. Not the self-proclaimed and thereby attention-seeking loners though...

And that's about it.....a block of updates to cut through the blogger's block.
