Yesterday,
someone, I do not remember clearly who, but I am absolutely certain that it is
a friend from a friendly forum who wanted to know when I was going to write a
post again. "It's been long since you wrote a post" read the post on
the wall...I was touched :-)
"I
do not know," I replied in a
comment which has been liked and comments have been replied by many members of
the august group. I was surprised to find the inactive members participating in
the thread.
One
friend said.."Are you really serious? I bet you must be joking."
Another
said..."Oh ! Really ! You do not know when you are gonna write next
!"
"Take
a break and come back with a bang said another."
"Hey!
Hang on there said another."
I
scrolled down the replies, revisiting the likes again and again to stay updated
with the latest count which kept increasing much to my despair when it struck
me……..
"Hey
the LIKES are pouring in for the four worded comment. " I DO NOT KNOW
".
Are they
pleased about my inability to come up with a convincing reply? I wonder. I, the
self proclaimed author, am in the dark about when I am going to resume writing
once again...EEEEks...this is scary ! Will I never be able to resume writing
once again ? How am I going to keep up my reputation ? Will I no longer be able
to irritate the readers with my long boring posts?
When
they read my posts, I read their minds. :-)
Anyway
there have been a few things taking up
all of my time. Since a friend has posted the query on the wall, I am duty
bound to respond immediately. I think it is my responsibility to explain why I
am not writing about I, me and myself these days. Old habits die hard. Having
been trained to be efficient in correspondence, I respond herewith...
Seriously,
house chores and office duties do take
up a lot of time.
But,
honestly, let me tell you, I have not blogged because I am just not doing
anything. I am working on ideas to make the best use of the space available at
home and build a library of medical books. I have been trying to arrange and
rearrange the books for many years now
without much success and I will gladly welcome any viable space saving
solutions. Till such time that I find a permanent solution, the medical books,
text books volumes 1, 2, 3...... will
lie in neat heaps, some in untidy mounds, some strewn all over the floor, on
the beds, on the side tables, on the sofa, on the Diwan and on the Dining
table. So you can very well imagine my plight. I am constantly rearranging the
position of books to create space to eat, move and sleep. One day, I will be
residing in a medical library which I will call my home.
Anyway,
I am prepared to meet such an eventuality and till such time that the home
becomes a full fledged library, I will continue to refurbish my wardrobe. I
plan to hire the services of a Tambong who may be compelled to take a week off
from work to help me with the washing, starching and ironing...Now how the heck
do you expect me to write?
I am
watching movies so that in the midst of all this craziness, I can continue to
remain sane. I am attending weddings and upanayanams, visiting the veggie
vendors, hanging out with friends and making mojitos. I am doing mundane
things, I guess, all simple real stuff....other than blogging.....
