Am posting after a really long time. Actually I had almost written a blog but finally didn't post it for the reasons I know best. Generally when I start to write I at least have something in my mind, some idea or some thought which I feel strongly about. Something that has been troubling me over days(Reading this you may feel that I have written dozens of entries ; actually the no. is just 4 ; reminds me of those run of the mill English Boy Bands, who bring out a "Best Of" version just after their two albums ;)
But this time there isn't anything in particular. Doesn't that happen sometimes? We talk even when we have nothing to say, or sleep even when we are not sleepy. Same is the case here. I just want a flow of words. Words,which are not there even in my mind. Its like giving a channel to all your thoughts. And seriously my typing speed is proving to be much lesser. Even before I type whats there in my mind, a new thought ( as useless as the previous one ) has cropped up. Thats why such a self-deprecatory comparison with Boy Bands.
This I define as 'Pure Intuitive Writing'. Many people , specially great authors may have had this. You must have heard of poems written at the 'spur of the moment'. But of course comment on my rendition is best left unsaid.
Now my mind has stopped....Naaah.....Not possible. It never does. Even when it goes blank, it keeps reiterating to itself,"Why have I gone blank? Why do I always go blank?...." You feel it has gone blank coz it is not moving in the direction you want it to go to.
So my mind has also not really gone blank.....I just have more important things to do

Generally the title comes to me while writing the first line itself, but this time as I didn't know where the blog was going , I didn't know what to name it. There are just so many irrelevant and probably incoherent things in this blog, so I want to keep it nameless. But of course I will have to check whether Blogspot allows me that....I hope it does....Or else I think I will name it as I wanted it to be....."BLANK"

Our mind never stops,it runs faster that the speed of light.But can we write everything that comes to our mind?
Every action we do has some purpose.We talk even when we have nothing to say.May be because we like the company of the person we are talking to.We sleep even when we dont feel sleepy because we know there is nothing interesting that we can do by waking up.
You yourself said you abandoned the of postng what you had written.Because you found it unsuitable for some reason.We always filter our thoughts before they come out.Thoughts never stops and they are not meaningless either.
But there are times when all of our thoughts fail to penetrate the filter and hence we go blank. Some of your thoughts you share with everyone,some you share with only your closest frinds and still some are there that cannot be shared with anyone.Hence thoughts never stop but they do stop to come out.
Hmm... So, blogger does not allow null strings in post titles :-) People even publish papers when they have nothing to publish :-D BTW, when you say you have nothing to say, you had something to say, right..? Had you had nothing to say, how could you have said it?? Paradox. I love paradoxes, or do I hate them?? Life's like that, a paradox. You are fortunate that only your typing speed is less than the speed of your thought. I know people whose talking speed is less than than their speed of thought and they're frustrated by the sheer wastage of time that communication, for them, entails... :-)
i guess if we plot "amount of thoughts" vs "our understanding of life" curve it may be an inverted parabola...it has 2 possible values of understanding of life for each population of thought !!
or i may be wrooong!!.... :))
do you ralise that you are travelling in the footsteps of soem of the most brilliant writers???
most of the lot lament teh fact that they cannot capture what they are thinking and then the moment is lost.
let me give you an example: you travelling.. on a train.. the rain splatters your window screen.. and from the confines of your compartment you witness the earth grace a brilliant shade of green.. every droplet seems to washing away all that man dumps on nature.. the huts that passes by seesm to be decked up fresh for a guest.. the kids splashing around in the water with a joy rarely seen in our mundane city life.. and its exactly at this moment that you know you want to capture it all with your pen.. adn yet all that you carry forth with you is an imprint of the moment!!
it happens.. the best of moments are only to be savoured not captured!!!
keep writing!!
