Wow!!! It’s honestly taken me ages to do this.
Actually get down to writing...
Initially I kept telling them (those who really wanted me to start writing again) that I need internet at home, for me to do this. And that there is too much of distraction at work .Even when I come in, at 8 in the morning and there’s no one except for the janitor playing the fool with his vacuum cleaner and the security right outside the 4th floor sometimes saying "good morning ma’m" and mostly” good morning Sir" in his semi state of wakefulness, one can imagine the magnitude of distraction :)then after a lot of cribbing and simultaneous bitching..i did get internet at home. Now that was hard on me...
To go back home everyday and pretend that I’m doing something worthwhile. To often look at different damp patches (counting them like it means a lot) and then staring at the array of medicines scattered on the computer table and thinking when am I going to give them up. All this and no writing…Cursing all the good people and the lectures they give me about how I have the potential of being a productive person .phew!!!! I’ve been doing this for whole of Jan-08 on the pretext of writing...
Guess where I am right now? :) At work...with multitude of people screaming there heads out at each other...clinking of keyboards. Phones ringing..collegeues offering sweets ranging from"sohan halwa to kaju barfi to death by chocolate"..someone turned an "uncle" last night. Someone came back from "Bangalore"(reference point Sohan halwa") and so on and so forth happy occasions for sweets. Makes me feel small... :( I never get sweets for anyone. Not even the day when my niece came home. Not when…never really...
The irony is that. Amidst curious glances and myriad interruptions I’m writing now...
I think I feel better this way. Among people. There is something captivating about this boring and mundane milieu...colorful though (its gurgaon..So color is never really a concern...Theres an abundance of it)
Thus I begin my blog...I take an oath right now to sit down as often as I can( which I swear is going to be often)for me to make a difference to my otherwise insipid and lack luster life!
I’m feeling good.. :)
P.S—Thank you for pushing me to a corner to do this...Thankyou for waging the miniature war against me…
