Blue

The first thing that comes to my mind when I hear this word is "the sky". Call it pansy or whatever, but the sky and the ocean is really what comes to anyone's mind when we think of this word.
But being some kind of an "out-of-the-box" thinker, I have to come up with alternative meanings for the same. So lets see what all can I come up with.

Blue is the colour of the skin after a serious beating by someone. No... Seriously.. It can happen. Now imagine a cute chick walking past you. All you do is maybe wink at her, or lets say that you get a bit ahead of yourself and start ogling her (perfectly natural and understandable). And all of a sudden her big boyfriend/bhai/father comes by... and you get the beating of a lifetime (sounds familiar???).. Well, it is an established fact that blue is mostly the color most likely to be flashing before your eyes before they close for an eternity.

What else? Sunday was good. I/you/everyone boozed a lot and got zonked out to the max. We dragged our sorry asses on to our beds, somehow, and dozed off at like 6 in da morning. Come 9:15, we have a lecture to attend. Well, again research has proved the fact that the feeling we kinda have at that point of time is Monday "blues"..

See the kinda crap people come up with when they try to think a bit :P

Moving further into this nonsensical theme, we find that blue is generally the colour of the walls in hospitals. how many of us have actually stopped to think about it? Is it naturally pleasing to the eye? No, that would be green, whose luminous intensity assures us that it is probably the most visible colour in existence. So why are they always blue? If we ponder a bit more on the same we can say that it is mostly the cheapest colour to make. Heh, imagine, blue is cheaper than White. Hahaha. That has to be funny! but then, it kinda gives us an insight into what kind of cheapos all those people are who use this color to paint their homes n everything :D

I can go on and on. But I would like to draw your attention towards the usage of "blue" as a pronoun. Now when we say "I am feeling so blue", What do we actually mean?
Is it, "I am so tense"? "I am sore from that awesome a** whooping"? or something else entirely? Contemplating a bit more on the same, we can ask abt the varying degrees of feeling blue... hehe "bluer and bluest"???

Now if my class mate, neel aka bluey aka internet explorer, reads this, he might think this whole topic is about him. Which leads me to the thought, if a person's name is any indication abt the kind of person he is, doesn't "neel" suggest that he can be the source of a full industry?
Robin "blue" would be out of business in a jiffy. All he has to do is maybe drink a lot and let his body do the work for him. :)


baah.. I have farted enough on this theme. Just wanted to jot something down or the blogspot could have closed this site down for good.

Ruminations of an idle mind

Empty vessels make more noise

Well, now I know how did the people (who sat together at the beginning of time to conjure up all these weird phrases to be incorporated into the language known as English) come up with this particular phrase.
Apparently (and I am speaking through personal experience), the moment people are idle, they start talking.
You won't believe it how much can they talk. Every living second of their idle time is spent in talking (for the betterment of society or with the intention of wiping out humanity? I cannot comment on that :mg: ).
So this post of mine is dedicated to my ruminations on how much can people speak. :D

According to me, people can speak in the following ways

Physically

This is probably the most common type of "talking". Idle people sitting around in a circle talking about everything under the moon, sun and the sky with apparently no more than passing interest in each of the topics discussed.
How many times have we seen dudes/dudettes sitting around in their rooms in their final eyar discussing about what has happened in the past 3 years. I mean, come on... we have lived those years already, why do we talk about it. Simply, because we have nothing better to do.
A classical example of the same would be oldies (ala people in the MDH ads) sitting near the entry of your mohalla chewing tobacco/paan or something and discussing.. hehehehe Ultimate scene... and the cause is very apparent! They have nothing better to do...

E-motionally

This is the latest in a new series of speaking out loud ways but a lot more common than some of the older ones. So me feels me has to write about this before me goes to other topics. :D
So what do people do now?? They sit infront of the latest series of idiot boxes/slave driving equipment/dating medium/ computers :D and chat their hearts out!
I feel its basically the exasperation of everyone around oneself which drives people to move on to this medium. I mean look at it this way, what option does a person opening up a page have besides reading through everything which has been written over there? After all, even he is as idle as the next person!!
So what the end result is, that people can spend entire years infront of their monitors doing nothing but chatting through their fingers and giving vent to all the idle energy pent up inside of them!!! :D

Read-a-lot

Well, a not so novel way of what we term as "bakar"... The read-a-lot syndrome.. :D

Let me clarify myself. Imagine a dude, who has no-one around him who can talk to him easily. No-one seems to share the same interests as that dude. But then, even such a (lets term him a "sahdev" right now, for the want of a better word) sahdev wants to talk, to chatter but is put down by the (his view point) mediocre society he lives in. At this point of time he is bitten by the Read-a-lot bug. In this syndrome, he generally picks up an author (the one closest to his heart) and finishes him (as in, not kills him d-uh).
This sort of stimulates an imaginative spirit in the dude, something which he did not even imagine existed! Thus making up of bakar. Albeit this is probably the least noisy forms of talkativeness, but to the person involved, he is actually indulging himself in the act in the only way he can!! :D

Write something

This is probably the height of bakar, or rather making "noise". This usually indicates that a person has ventured in all possible avenues, conquered them and still has free time remaining. Now since it is almost impossible (for every person with non einsteinic brain) to do anything constructive in that time, the person in question takes it upon himself that it is but his duty to write down a few of his thoughts!
Now this can come in Hard copies (eg. paperback novels which you all read), mails or maybe even these kind of blogs (yup I do confess, I do have a lot of free time at hand).


I think I have taken enough time to prepare this thing and all of the people reading this know me well enough that what I have spoken, I actually practice!!!

All of this was just to prove one thing and one thing alone...

MAN GIMME SOMETHING TO DO... I AM SITTING JOBLESS OVER HERE...
