Dhamachokadi - A Chaotic Mind

It has begun...

Finally I start blogging. And i don't like the fact that this editor is not smart enough to make the i a little more assertive(read capital I). And, well, i am too lazy to do that. Or i am too used to not doing that - thanks to MSWord.

Blogging... everyone seems to be doing it and i have been contemplating doing the same for a long time now. Why i haven't done it yet? Guess i used to think too much about would it should be like. Should it be timpass or serious; describe daily activities or pen down the motley random musings; should it be grammatically/politically/theologically/lexically correct.

And i finally end up writting my first blog with a throbbing head, thanks to mid-week booze compounded with very little sleep. Its not the best feeling to sleep at night knowing you have to get up at 6:15 and catch the company shuttle at 7:25, that too after a good 1 km walk from your place. Of course a morning walk, though forced, is good for health. Its even better if its a brisk one or if it then develops into a jog, after frequent frantic glances at the watch, and eventually culminates in a sprint as the bus is seen pulling out of the pick-up point.

Today i managed to break all records. I woke up at 07:08; brushed my teeth by 07:10; dressed up by 07:13; bathed myself in deo, wet my hair and combed by 07:15; wore one shoe by 07:16; searched for the other one in a mound of footwear by 07:19 (yes... Murphy's law); its 7:20 as i jumped down the stairs; i walked with increasing stride; broke into a jog; consult the watch - 7:23; Run Forrest run. Thankfully, the bus comes from the opposite side and the driver spots me running towards the crossing as the bus approaches it. Wasn't worth it if you ask me. Should have just stayed in bed and called in sick; i'd rather shit at home....

  • Amen dude.
    Transcending all shackles of time and place(more importantly, the latter), the drama unfolds in the same way on that coveted day of the week.

    Got a saturday off after a month. hence enjoying that old charm after quite some time!

  • @Rohini : I am flirting with the written word for the first time.. and i thank thee for the fulsome praise..

    @sapta : somehow these fridays have the uncanny knack of throwing up new challanges right in your face.. most of them are the getting late/stepping into a puddle/sitting on sambar types... guess its 13th every friday..
