don’t read a bored man’s thoughts…even if you have the power to….
This is not a good frame of mind to blog. To blog something that is supposed to make sense. I am bored to the core of my being, and the fact that there is something exciting waiting for me when I get back home makes this wait even more torturous. Basically, I am bugged of work today, but I know the day is going to be long and I cant leave this seat till late. Gawd, Monte Cristo’s time behind bars would have felt like a vaction compared to this. As you may have noticed, I have been doing some surfing to keep myself from nodding off, but frankly, none of that interests me anymore…..oh..’anymore’…how about slipping into some nostalgia….like recally the 30 rupees I used to pay to get online, on pathetically slow (or dead) speeds, until a few years ago….today, i can surf on a high speed dedicated line for a good part of the day….only that I really dont have much quality surfing to do…I wouldn’t say that the thrill of going online died with the advent of the always-on connection I got at home, once I finished colllege, but I would certainly say that I can’t recall the last time I did something worthwhile on the net. Ofcourse, depending on what I think is ‘worthwhile’, I can alternatively also feed off my ego knowing that my music collection is neighbour’s envy (my actual neighbour’s torture, considering that I like my music loud), the collection of sofware I have downloaded from the net would give the antipiracy department a run for its money…and filesharing I have done can be rivalled only by a few peculiar charcters like Faheem….i do have a lot of bytes on my hdd used up, and that is a victory flag I can wave, but my priorities are different at the moment (right now, i dont want to be anywhere close to a PC)….. the net is great…you can redefine your ‘kicks’ and eat your heart out, online…but end of day…what’s the fucking point……you got a lot of music and appz….but then, does that justify the time you have spent collecting it? Yeah…actually, thinking abt it, it does…to an extent
Guess my ego won…..

if alll that you collected, collated, indexed and sorted doesn’t justify the time you spent on it, you’re gonna look like a hell of a loser. your mind isn’t gonna allow that, it’s gonna justify it
