Being busy
Hey ! Hope you like my blog ! Leave a comment if you wish :)
I strongly feel I should post my thoughts more often. I have said this many times, but ..
**
Somewhere around August 2008, I started getting busy. Before that I had so much free time and wasn’t doing anything that I didn’t feel like blogging anything. And after that, I have been so busy most of the time, and had ton of stuff worth blogging about, but never gave blogging importance over being free. Ha !
**
I like being busy. I feel when one tries to be busy, important things get done or at least an experience remains which may help in future to understand what is important or not. But at the moment, being busy is important. I don’t know how long will I have the luxury to be busy voluntarily.
**
Recently, around the same day, I saw as many as 4 status updates that said “So much to do, but so little time”. I smiled every time. I just hope they are getting to do what they like to do and also hope they occasionally make it a point to watch the scenery and not just the road.
**
And finally, a quote:
To busy oneself with what is futile when one can do something useful, to attend to what is simple when one has the mettle to attempt what is difficult, is to strip talent of its dignity. – Jose Marti
Why we act everything happens to us is a big deal ..
I would like to add my notes to this, but another day another time.

Complete the story
I was earlier than normal days that day. I wonder what had made me go early there. There is a freshness in the atmosphere and the cool breeze only increased the pleasantness. I am little happier for whatsoever reason. Oh! There she comes. Looking beautiful in that probably new dress. Is that a miracle ? I remember now that I had woken up after a dream and she was certainly in the dream. And something in my dream had made me come earlier today. Is it real ?
We smile to each other. No one has come yet. She is comfortable at my presence. Did I really wake up or this is the continuation of dream ?If it is a dream, why is it a dream ? We walk upstairs as if we realised what exactly we need to do. In the terrace, coffee is served and we sit opposite to each other. We sip hot coffee while the cool breeze brushes our faces. Is there an other heaven?
I am afraid if she can hear my heartbeats. Today is the day. Now is the time. I have to say. It would be a foolish thing to start the conversation. I am not even sure whether my voice reaches her properly. Let me warm up.
“What is your plan for the weekend ? “
This was one of my earlier writing attempts. For some reason, I still like my attempts of those times. Those were the times, writers-block never hit me. I felt then I could churn up many snippets like these. However to this day, I am not sure if they were interesting to the readers – these were either lost in the now dead hard disk or held private in drafts.
