Aimless writing never really interested me. I always believed, my words on paper had to have a specific purpose. Otherwise, there was no point in putting them down. May be it was a reflection of my own skepticism, my true Gemini nature.

I still don’t know whether that is right or wrong, and don’t intend to answer that question anytime soon.

What I do intend to do is, write one or two lines and then let my pen (in this case, the keyboard) take over.

I hate the notion that the “customer is king.” Often it gives insuperable authority to boorish idiots who don’t understand shit about service - any kind of service.

A king is supposed to be royal, all powerful, et cet, yes, but he also has responsibilities towards his subjects. An irresponsible kind is a king of a state headed towards anarchy.

A headless state is like an unstable compound in a chemical reaction. It soon re-arranges itself to some known ’state’. And there are, as we know, very few known states.

Capitalism and free markets do not mean that everyone makes money. It simply means that everyone has an opportunity to make money.

To make most of an opportunity, you have to know when it comes. To know when an opportunity comes you have to be waiting for it.

The lover’s wait is the longest when it occurs and the shortest, after. In restrospect, everything becomes a thing of the past.

Memories are like scars, some remind us of our bravery, others remind us of pain. Why we choose to keep the pain and forget the others is something I’ll never find out.

But I hope to find it out some day…

That ends my short little experiment. Did I get somewhere?

Yes, a long way from where I started. Yet, it seems to be the middle of nowhere. I guess Life IS like that, most of the time, eh?

    Beeravo! * You know those french men, who have beer and when they hear a superb tune, they go “bravo” “bravo” in that weird accent? I’m doing that*

    Fantastico!

    Lotsaluv.

    SG.

    @SG:
    For that reason exactly.

    So that you don’t delete any of your faux pas and I get to embarrass you in public..

    Bwahahahahaha!!

    Help to have your own site, ya know! :P

  4. sthupit girl says:

    Bah, humbug!

    SG.

    P.S you allow non deletion of comments on ANY blog, you know?

  5. navneet says:

    since when did people start inventing words like ‘non-deletion’ and mistake the italian for french…. chee, somethings wrong with the world order

    capitalism intends that everyone makes money, or atleast project that it is so even as you aid some third world nation while people in your country die of poverty.
    experiments never get you anywhere…you need to come up with the utility after finding out that it’s useless (psst: if you know how to do that, pass me a clue)

  6. Shrikant Joshi says:

    Yeah, now that Nav mentions it, what the hell is non-deletion??

    And Nav, if there ever were a utility attached to experiments, we would have progressed so much..

    Maybe we would never have left the trees. That was one bad experiment…

    Cheers!

  7. sthupit girl says:

    That’s me.

    Nav, people start doing such stuff when they’re pressured by exams. You wouldn’t know, you geek, you.

    BS, you wouldn’t either considering you skipped a few years.

    Ha.

    Italian for french was ingenius, don’t you think?!

    SG.

    You’ve completely lost it. You are now a certified fruitcake.

    Congratulations. Welcome to the club.

    Cheers!

    Wow!..This was like those 1-min talks that we needed to give in school…on any random topic…just don’t stop…..and continue the monologue for 1-min flat!

    And so we would come up with words and sentences that made no apparent sense…and somewhere…it all did!

    Guess…that’s the beauty of Random thinking!?? eh?

    Good work! :smile:

    hi shrek
    how are you friend, well quite agree with you , aimless writting is never good, pretty much the same with me too,and i loved reading this piece, short and meanigful, loved this one line “Memories are like scars, some remind us of our bravery, others remind us of pain”, so true, i will tell you friend my experience of life, we all live the life of a goalkeeper, we might have saved a lot of goals but then world tend to remember us for the goals we could not save, remember oliver kahn…..its tough, but then the solace comes from the fact that public memory is pretty short so its ok, well i do see you have reached far from where you started, well just keep it like this, dont let success enter yur head coz the day it does the games over, and unlike other comes in this game you dont have a “start” option nor can you start the game by inserting a new coin, i am really happy for you, you will go places……

    take care and am sorry, dont call up these days bcoz of the paucity of time,

    “when life throws a lemon at you, ask for taquila and salt”…………..khush rahe ji
