No matter what ur doing - taking the bus home, taking a dump or talking to ur love interest - You’re always wondering whether you can blog about it. You’re constantly measuring its ‘blogability index’(somebody has a trademark on this word). You hack away a 1000 word essay in your head at the speed of light.. Ofcourse, these words come to you at the most opportune times such as the examples mentioned above. There is absolutely no means of recording this lucid flow of thoughts. Five minutes later the bus stops or you pull the lever and your beautiful piece of literature is flushed down the drain.
Finally, one day you find the time and conviction to sit down in front of your computer and write about something and your mind gives you haath (Hyderabadi expression for ditching). It pretends to be the reflection of the maansarovar – clear and serene. Hello, I’m not exactly sitting down to meditate here! Noorie be my name, if it were half as still when I am actually trying to meditate!

Then you forcefully wake imagination up from its Kumbhkaran like hibernation, it gets to work bleary-eyed and u end up typing random stuff like this.

Hey Neha,
i cannot explain, but something along the line on what you have written
has been on my mind since a long time
i just wore this crazy smile on my face once i read your blog about bloggability
"Bloggability Index"- i love that
( yaa i was wondering if it should have a double g)
"Then, imagination comes to the rescue on a dark stead...and you end up typing random stuff like this."
haha
good post
and thanx for your comments
.. not to mention the added filter to perception ... which might be tiring ...
@lost: ugh, talk about it!*nods head in despair*
@Kappa: you're welcome, thank you :)
I dont blog, but i still empathise with you :D
bored buggers!
laoooo :D
Ohh nega! I face the exact same thing, throughout the mall, and the drive back all I wanted to do is blog my thoughts-n the minute I came to college, the flow simply vanished.
* Sigh* till technology and innovation provides a solution
hey neha, good insight into a mad blogger addict's mind. i hav like a load of drafts that i went on a writing spree....then somewhere the thread snapped. n its now a preoccupation to sieve those thoughts again. so i know exactly what u mean... ;)
This is exactly why you need a break from blogging to just be. :)
The problem (as you seem to indicate) is not that you always keep thinking of blogging your thoughts (by measuring its bloggability).
Instead the distress is due to inability to actually blog all that you can think of. Ditto here.
Thought of it on couple occasions.
1. Can i blog by phone ?
SMS -> Typing and hyperlinking is pain ? Blackberry ?
Voice -> Should be more than podcasting coz my voice sucks ! Speech Recognition doesnt work !!
2. Mind Reading :-o
Let it go thinking of bechara "Technology". Abhi bache ki jaan loge kya !
Coming back to thinking what this technology was actually created for ? I guess to kill time by speaking to someone who would always listen to you :-)
Only problem right now is that you have to go to it to speak to it and it cannot be there for you anywhere anytime you want it to be.
@anon: Saala ...i know u wanna ...the truth is you don't have the guts to :p
@Purnima: *sigh*
@Haritha: Yeah i got tones of drafts too...someday mebbe after i'm dead they'll release the unpublished works of neha ... hey they could even auction it ! :D
@Aran: There is no break from blogging, the blog is me. remember ?
@Danko: the best part is this is not even what i'd set out to write.
@Ro ji: Here comes roji with his perfectly systematic analysis of the problem. I've always thought voice recognition was the way to go ever since I saw Judi Jetson talk to her diary. Although i share ur sentiments about mind reading :-o.
@junta in general: Sorry these replies are so late. I don't know what i was thinking!
