I forgot.

I totally forgot about my blog account. I have been busy with my uni work. Had so many submissions and meetings. I finally getting my research on its legs.
Feels good when i write 2 lines every day after giving much thought to different things, but always the chain of thoughts start with my research topic.
I guess that is normal.
Hopefully this will not become a disturbing trend and i will be back blogging regularly.

Ciao,
Raghav.

wretched phone call!

Sunday - the word means a day of long sleep and this is literally true with me. I keep my sunday mornings booked for a much wanted sleep. I wake early on every other day of the week. And eventhough saturday is supposed to be a free day, i get up way early. So Sunday is my day.
An ideal sunday would be when there is no work to do, and you got the whole day to spend it as you wish. And today was supposed to be one such day. Alas! the phone rang at 9 am.

This was a work I had decided not to do at all. I had offered to do it on the day before, but the offer was not taken. And I am woken by this phone call and request for a biggg favor was made. To do that particular work and urgently. And I did it cursing, but it was not that urgent it seems. After about a hour and a half the person turns up to collect the work. That urgent!! my foot. And there was no thanks from the person. What the hell?

That pissed me off! and the whole day has been a waste. It is imperative to not wake a person. If you do, atleast have the courtesy to be honest. Dont make up stuff. A supposed to be productive day, has been wasted. Where will i get repaid for the day?

Silence and Humor- A deadly Combo.

Andy: Is there any secret to be funny?
Saint: Silence!
This is a dialogue from the movie "Man on the Moon", a biopic on the life of Andy Kaufman. This is not just a dialogue. It is The Truth.
When I feel bored, I just sit silently and watch many things that happen around and try to take in all those things. This gives two advantages. One is that I observe a lot more and the other is that the top floor goes to work. With the top floor working lots of interesting thoughts come. Humor is not being foolish or idiotic as portrayed by many comedians. Humor is understanding of many things. Many of the philosophers were also known for their humor. The top comedians have been great thinkers like Chaplin. They were able to taste success by portraying truth in silly ways. This is the simplest and purest form of humor.
I have tried it and have understood that the more I keep silent, the more my words carry the bitterest truths in humorous ways.
Try it for yourself!

And by the way, the movie above mentioned is a real master-piece.
