Nonsensical ramblings. Again.

My father told me about his love-life in a by the way manner when I was twelve. (By 'by the way' manner I mean that I was discussing my love life. By 'his love-life' I mean his past love-life. When he was like 28 or something.) After that, he never felt the need to discuss it again. Not through all my years of growing up. It was that unimportant an aspect of his life to him. I wish I were that cool, but then for that I need to be 69 (age, in case you're a pervert) I guess.

We've been taught by our stupid English teachers at school to make paragraphs in a way that they have a continuing link with the previous ones. (By 'stupid English teachers' I mean the ones who teach you what infinitives, gerunds and participles are). But my paragraphs carry no such link. This blog is more like a stream of consciousness (ya I came across this cool thing sometime in my life, which basically gives you a license to write crappy meaningless stuff which have no relation to one another). So, I guess one makes a paragraph for sake of neatness, or discussing a different random thing. I guess one should make a paragraph when he feels like making one.

Oh by the way (I hate pet names and short forms; I refrained from writing 'btw'), if you're that bored and jobless, read Jai Arjun Singh's blogs if you haven't already, rather than reading mine. Google it. Or read Samanth Subramanian's "Following Fish". Flipkart it.

I mostly get to ramble nonsense when there's a lot of work and I don't feel like doing any. But towards the end of fifth year, you're like this unemployed youth looking desperately for work or some reason to exist in life. But there's none to be found. (This phase is transitory, if you've found yourself work to do post college). So now I guess I blog when I feel like it. Rest of the time is spent on vacant thinking. I don't regret it. Came across this quote by John Lennon which says, "If you've enjoyed wasting time, then you haven't wasted it".

I thought I'd write something long and big to kill time. But I can't think of anything now. OKthankyoubai.
