Brain-less

My Brain's Pattern

Structured and organized, you have a knack for thinking clearly.
You are very logical - and you don't let your thoughts get polluted with emotions.
And while your thoughts are pretty serious, they're anything from boring.
It's minds like yours that have built the great cities of the world!

India... Bound-less!

Location: A tiny hotel room in a small town in semi-rural Maharashtra in the heart of the Socio-Cultural region called Desh. aka Igatpuri.
Time: Midnight
Status: Connected :-) on laptop & phone

It's quite an experience here. The course at MICA requires us to do a 2 week rural project. Well, it's optional more than anything... but I'm glad I'm doing it. It's quite a challenge not to cringe at anything that I'd noramlly would. It's that part of the world where gourmet cuisine is chai and wada pav.

The train journey to here was beautiful. Just two hours... but wet, cold and picturesque. I counted 5 different shades of green in one landscape. The valleys were dotted with slender white falls and rivulets gushing as the water hit smooth rocks. Virginal.

Outside the window, I can hear it pouring like mad. Hope the place isn't flooded tomorrow.

My Life is a .ppt

Damn, damn ... I've become so dependent on bullet points. I can't write two paragraphs of coherent thoughts. Thankfully I can still read paragraphs. Though it irritates me when people speak more than 3 sentnces without a pause.

I wonder if that's the case with the world in general. Attention spans are shrinking and there's evidence of it everywhere. We were watching the SM vs MS US Open Game tonite and as soon as Sania lost the first set people got all antsy. No one even hinted at the possibility of a three-setter. "Why waste energy?"

The game itself was fun to watch. Didn't realise that US Open was happening until today. I've been that disconnected from news. Watched it in a group of about 20 ppl. 1 Tv - showing tennis. 2 women playing tennis. 4 girls - watching tennis. Around 4 guys - watching tennis. 12 guys - watching all but tennis.

******************

I badly need a holiday - a getaway from it all. I would need the Internet, because it's my morphine. But still, I need time to think. About the bigger picture, about life seven months from now. I really am not the "take-each-day-as-it-comes" person.

Prayers?

Haven't taken time off to thank Forces Above for the things that I'm thankful for in life lately. If They exist and They read blogs... here goes...
