Here I am. Sitting in a cyber cafe at 8.00 p.m., staring at a white screen, when all around me, its dark.
Why? The power has gone off, you dumkopf! (Am I spelling that right? I'm paranoid about spellings)
One gust of wind, and the whole of Bangalore city goes dark. Cyber city, my foot. Well, its not all that bad really, but its nice to carp ;-)
The power has really gone off, and it looks like there will be a thunderstorm in some minutes, but I am not budging from this emotionally secure place - you know, in front of this silver screen that is your most close buddy - you share your most vulnerable and emotional thoughts with it - and it purs and responds to you like this dear old friend, who understands without being critical...
Looks like I have gone off the end. Anyhow, if I go home right now, I'll have to sit in the pitch dark, and mutter to myself, so its better to sit here and be comforted by the sound of my fingers ("clickety clack") on this keyboard.
Today is one of my pensive days. The days that I start with thoughts about my life, and where it is going. Usually I'm the typical sagi (sagittarius, for those ignoramuses out there) - always looking into the sky and aiming at arrow at the sun! The golden child of God. The forever optimist. Today, my personality has dunked itself into the nature of my cusp sign - the Scorpio. with the result of which I am frowning, and pondering the mysteries of the universe.
Not pleasant you know. I read this entry, right now, on another blog that spoke of thick cold mango shakes, and I'm beginning to feel a little better :-). There is a bakery just below the cafe I sit in, so I'll pop in there on my way home, and quench myself :-D
That's it for tonight... maybe the rain would wash my mind as it washes the dusty earth, and the cold mango shake would bring back the optimism into my life...
