Well.. there’s a saying, “An idle mind is the devils workshop”. The Devil in my mind has some incredible things to do. So creative, so imaginative, so bloody dangerous.
I’m going through a phase right now, where I’d like to forget. Weird, no? Who would want to forget about anything. I want to forget what color my shoes are, and which tee I’d like to match them with. (Uhhhmmmm, Yes, I try and match my tee to the shoes, and trust me its quite a task in itself). I also want to forget about what I’d typically be doing on a weekend, otherwise. I want to do something new, read, laugh, sing out loud. Well, I try singing this song often at home, but no one takes the hint -> Char baj gaye, lekin Party abhi baaki hai ! Daddy hai naraaz, lekin party abhi baaki hai. This is sooooooooo not my type of song. Weird I find it so catchy. Specially since its to DUMB. The implications, would be
a) ban on the song
b) a long talk, about my perspective of the world
c) insistence that my opinion doesn’t matter, one bit.
Ok, maybe not. I’m only going to experiment, and find out what truly happens.
Humm, HUMMM… ears sharp for reaction… None what-so-ever. Tip toe to Dads room, soft snoring sounds. Damn, maybe some other time.
Ok, I strayed. The song is too catchy, I tell you.
Anyhooo, I was thinking of a few things to do when one is exxxtreeemely bored/flustered/depressed. Here’re some of them -
* Go potter around. I mean, literally. I have a little garden, which I prod around aimlessly sometimes. Do this in social seclusion. The calm that it gives you is unparalleled. If you don’t have a garden, buy a potted plant. Thats how gardens start, by the way.
* Ding a dong, oh baby, sing a song. Anyone remember this song? It exists. Highlight, copy, Google. (Sorry, Yahoo it – fake it sounds). I mean, sing loud, remember the good times, smile.
* Turn Facebook off. Read some blogs. Read some of them that you’ll find through my blog, to be precise. They’re cartloads of fun.
* Take your camera, head out. Go for a walk. Move your sorry *** and click photos. Its fun. I’m still trying to figure out my camera. Be warned, I’ve some pics coming to get you.
* Dress up. Even if its for you to ogle at yourself/criticize yourself. The good thing that can come out of this is that you could miraculously come up with the idea that you need to hit the gym, and get back in shape.
* IF you are a boy, go find yourself a playstation. Uhmmm I guess. No?
* Pull out your old comics, and read. Even if its just the Tinkle. (Post on Tinkle coming up soon, just thought of it). Remember Uncle Pai, suppandi, Shikari Shambu?
* Doodle. That could be the best piece of art you’ve come up with.
* Crib about Star wars. Pointlessly.
* Fight, for fun. Wrestle, if you have the “option”. Make up.
* Write – Pour your heart out on paper, on a blog or on any material you find. Share it, if its not too personal. You’ll be amazed at the kind of perspective you get when you do. Thats why I love my blog, so much!
* Most importantly. SHOP! WHeeeeee!!! :)
Now, you add to this list.
My work here is done, lekin party abhi baaki hai.
Daddy Hai naaraz, lekin party abhi baaki hai.
(Argh, time to pass on the bug to someone else. Watch. Jhess! You must watch! )
:)
Glad you wrote something. After such a long time. :)
Cribbing about Star Wars and Yahoo..that was a take on Mr. Sahay…liked it. Like it.
Funny lyrics…Faltu, if you ask me.
Now adding to the list:
*I usually try to crib and be an insufferable prick.
*Brood, brood and brood
*Brows tightened, head in a low snearing position and walk to and fro like a caged tiger. Growling now and then
:D Me happy I wrote too.. Its like I was jinxed or something was wrong.
Hmm… cribber, brooder, cub!
:D
Youtube! youtube youtube youtube! Remember that Classic Dance video? Hahahaha…
Anyway, adding to the list:
I spend my time thinking about random things and relating them to other random to get some more random things. Vicious circle I tell you.
Abstract art :P …
Nowww that you are an artishhht, you must paint for us. Jhess you must!
Isn’t that what they’re paying you for? Signboards?
Nice shot there, lady.
Very under the belt.
But am I expected to play,
Until the final card is dealt?
This blog post had a very different feeling to it – almost like having a conversation, but on paper and in words. That was cool yo!
(P.S. Was the Playstation bit smattering the beejesus out of Abhiram?)
;) Good, you got it.
Thank you, I write when I feel like talking to the masses. :P
And, the whole “man” kind is quite Playstation crazy.. so weird your race is.
that was an impressive ‘to do’ list! looking forward to those pics that you are going to take..!
Will never be as good as your pics :)
nice one .. :)
Thank you Bhuvana… :)
although the song is dumb, you still like it??? Me too :D
Its a dumb song, no two ways about it. :)
Good..now that you got yourself a list..do those useful things on a weekend i say…You don’t need to be a boy to use a playstation – you can beat any boy’s a** and btw, you have nephew to wrestle with for 2 days – go ahead :)
This is not my to do list.. :P Are you forgetting? Party abhi baaki hai. :)
My nephew and I don’t wrestle.. we fall on the bean bag and slide off..
Please don’t tell me you like that song..pppppppparty…whatever that means.
If I am bored, I just crib and make sure the whole world knows about it. See I feel much better now.
Its addictive…. :) Its crazy but its stuck in my head.
Thanks to your tweet update on this post, which I read first thing in the morning- I can’t get the damn song out of my head!!!
I tweetalk, and if I am free everyone has to be on my call and chat with me till I decide ‘I am getting bored ;)….or simply pick-up some office work.
Workaholism?! :O … that will never be on the list..
Hahaha.. Gud list! :D Party abhi baki hai .. ;) :)
Thanks.. :)
Hey Priyanka, cool thoughts..luved the way u cud capture ur internal monologue so descriptively…sumtimes i cud find my mind talkin on the same path as ur words did :)

Lukin frwrd 4 ur Tinkle post.
:)
Thanks..
Wow. Such a lovely list! I want to do the ‘shop’ part pronto. How many of these actually get done/got done? You know, this sort of loud thinking is such fun. It’s way better than talking to yourself which makes people label you insane. (of course I am not talking about myself here) :D
Loved the post!
Shop till you Drop!! Its reviving!!
I guess I am kinda insane.. there are so many “Talking” posts on my blog :( :)
This song is really cool…You have portrayed in a nice way :)
