A Part of Me



Einstein said that time is relative but I never quite understood the fact. No wonder, I have always been pathetic with numbers. Never understood time, algebra, money, costs, accounting and the list goes on. But traveling always seems some kind of time travel to me. Flashes of past keep hovering around. At times, things seem as they have never happened. May be that was a different life, a different time. Sometimes, I need to open my phone’s gallery to actually prove to my conscious brain about a certain event. However, traveling is something else. When I travel alone, looking aimlessly into the nothingness out of the window, I am usually thinking about many things together, get mixed emotions and start missing everyone I know. Is that a normal thing? I think I have left my parts at places and with people. And after losing that part, I have tried to rebuild myself. Obviously, the new me is never the same. Traveling, once again, proves that to me. It’s like a slideshow of life playing over and over again during those few hours. I guess that’s what relativity of time is. When it’s 4:30 to 6:30 for people, it has been a certain lifetime for me.

Worth a read.........

A lot of traveling and which means a lot of reading too. I made it a point to write about a lot of things in this time but ended up sitting idle looking at the ever-changing landscape and reading whatever I can get. I feel empty, there’s absolutely no urge to write so I’ll rather share two things from a book. The first excerpt is a list by the character Javits; a list of what society thinks is normal and anything outside it, makes people uncomfortable and threatened.   What normality means in this world? 1) Anything that makes us forget our true identity and our dreams and makes us only work to produce and reproduce. 2) Making rules for a war. 3) Spending years at university and to find a job. 4) Working from nine in the morning to five in the afternoon at something that does not give us the least pleasure, so that we can retire after 30 years. 5) Retiring only to discover that we have no more energy to enjoy life, and then dying of boredom after a few y...

Some List

I'll be writing on  https://www.snapwryt.com from now on. “ You call yourself a writer but I never see you using a pen” “That’s coz I type on the laptop sweetheart” “Then you should call yourself a typer (she meant typist)” This is my conversation with my five-year old cousin sister. She really has a valid point here. It’s so valid that I considered renaming my blog to ‘ The Typist’ . I could have gone with philosophical answers like: “ It doesn’t matter when thoughts flow, you can use anything to give it a physical form. It can be a pen, charcoal, brush, spray and of course now-a-days my life KEYBOARD.” But, I guess it’s best to let women win irrespective of their age. Well that’s what I wanted to write about from quite some time. Eating out a lot lately and had some chances to sit quietly and look around. At times , I really feel bad about the plunging levels of ‘mannerism’ when people are out with a girl. Of course, in any way, I can’t be called an expert...

Girl in Red and Guy in Black VIII

Guy in Black:  It’s impossible to understand and deal with girls. Friend 1: Another argument with her? GB:  Yes another argument and I don’t know what, where and why. It was like a paper of mathematics on a day when I had prepared for chemistry. It was like I was writing the answers with a broken ballpoint tip. No matter, how hard I tried to make my point, all it created was mess. The more I emphasized on the point, the more blue spots were on my answer sheet. Friend 1:  So that’s it? GB:  Plus there was negative marking for untidiness which I will come to know in days to come. Friend 1:  Okay that explains the level of toughness. GB:  I think it does and now I am worried that I’ll have to apologize to the teacher with a concrete explanation.
