Song on my mind - Out of my Head by Fastball
Watched The Prince of Tides and actually liked it. Should have watched it years ago, or maybe now was the right time. Sometimes the right time is when the scars are so faint that you've forgotten how you got them in the first place. Forgotten.
Read The Kite Runner and I loved it more than anything I have read in a long time. There were times I had to stop reading because I was choking up. But I didn't want to waste time on tears, just wanted to keep turning those raw, emotion laden pages, keep reading and feeling every tiny black word crawl into me. Feeling.
Wrote back to someone I consider a dear friend. There are times you need to take a break because things happen too fast and you're scared that the wonderful moments will soon dissipate. So you freeze time for a bit and then revisit one quiet sunny day and hope that nothing's changed. Hope.
Realised I may have been barking up the wrong tree for a long time, my whole life maybe. I think there's something else I could do, could actually be good and successful at. And I'm willing to give it a shot now, give anything a shot. Now.

Very well written. Especially loved the way you have captured the essence of a whole para into a word, a word pregnant with so much emotion.
I have always found your style of writing very thoughtful, it inspires me to pen down my thoughts too... wish i can do that some day...
Till then, let the inspiration flow...
I'm willing to give it a shot now

the post smells better than fresh coffee. Fresh.
student - Just start writing dude. Start.
??! - Thanks for these lines from If, a poem I've gone back to on many occasions but never learned anything from. Will try now though. Learn.
probe - this post was just a pathetic attempt to make my mundane life seem interesting. And you guys are too kind, as always. Kind.
Good Lord, that's not a comment! It's like an entire encyclopedia stuffed in. Can't believe you had the patience to scroll down after all that and leave a comment. Thank you!
Will check out your article. Btw, have you watched the movie? I still haven't and I'm wondering how good it is...
Phew! Just managed to delete it!
OK, good for you, cos I don't know what you would have done with such a lengthy "comment"... Why do people do that??
No I haven't seen the film yet; I'm not sure I want to, in fact. I've been told it's good, but the boof was so WOW that I'm quite content with it. In a way, I've ALREADY seen the film, if you see what I mean!
