Stupidity..*

...is pretty easy to come by. There's an example right in front of you – my trying to write about it. In my defence I'd like to say, arguing about the topic with the teacher wasn't an option. So, i might as well get on with writing about it. Because not writing would be...well, stupid more than anything else. Though I could use my being human as an excuse for acting stupid and not writing this. Because being human makes me as immune to stupidity as Windows is to viruses. I've noticed people worry more about the viruses than about their own stupidity. Seeing how important a part of life technology has become (seriously, imagine a day without updating your tweets!), it seems valid to worry about them more. It's stupid actually – being so dependent on technology – don't you think? And it's surprising how something can sound logical and stupid at the same time. Goes to show how versatile stupidity can be! It's like an eerie force that is constantly looking for ways to express itself. And humans seem to be soft targets too. The great Albert Einstein put it beautifully when he said that there were two things that were infinite – the universe and human stupidity and he wasn't too sure about the former. A seriously intelligent remark. But intelligence is the opposite of stupidity. So stupidity can actually pull intelligence to it's side. I leave you with that scary thought. Hail Stupidity.

(* ...err... just something I was given to write on.)

Hmm??

Am i versatile ? Or am i clueless ?

Ye Gyaan bhi kabhi Gobbledygook tha

I have been meaning to write for a while now. But translating gobbledygook into englees.. well, it's tough! But do you see me giving up? No. Of course, when you see me give up, you probably won't see me (give up).

Ok, coming to the pointlessness ... I'm just trying to put my thoughts into perspective here.. and i accept that i fall prey to what i'm against too ..but i don't quite understand why people try to explain their art...and why other people are suckers for the explanation. The work will speak for itself (and probably make people speak about it too) if it is good. And if it isn't, the explanations just make it annoying. Why would one want to back up a below average piece of art...or even a truely brilliant piece for that matter... with fancy words? Any kind of visual art has several meanings...probably as many as the number of people who see it. A few words from the artist to lead the audience to his general thoughts are ok..but confining the creation to a particular idea only does gross injustice to it.

The same logic would apply (almost as strictly) when this is viewed the other way round. Making up for bad writing with a picture flicked off the net...or using a picture to add on to an already great work. Why fix a picture in the minds of the readers when they can otherwise draw much more beautiful and more fluid pictures in their minds with those words alone?

When i see or read something it becomes mine - in the sense that i can choose to view it in any form i like... and draw my own conclusions...or just ponder over it aimlessly...that is, in either case, exercise my mind.

If both mediums are used together, they inhibit the viewer's creativity...and one of them, therefore, is redundant.

Redundant creativity - now that's a scary thought!


I am done for the day. Good night !

Times and me

Memories! Amazing how they can just jump up and get into action at a fraction of a moment's notice.

I read a quote and was instantly transported to a time 8 years ago ..(damn! that makes me feel old)...when I thought i knew Life...!! It makes me laugh at how different my views are now! I may or may not laugh at myself when i look back on this time years later ... but if i could meet the old me right now, I'd ruffle my hair and say, "Chill, kid." :)

(Unrelated. Serious. But just for fun)
Life isn't necessarily complicated but it'd still be a lot simpler if we could stick out our thumb, towel in hand, and hitch a ride to outer space. It'll all be good then...except for the Vogon poetry ;)

Cheers!

Sometimes

Sometimes i feel i have very strong feelings about things ... but usually it is just the coffee.

I somehow managed to miss wishing you in the last post.

HAPPY NAVRTRA !! :D

Right now, i'm totally in love with this bhajan

Dear People-who-use-swear-words,

Dear People-who-use-swear-words,

How do you do it?
Usually, the worst I can bring myself to say is "Damn", or "Saali Makdi" in Channel V Bai ishtyle.

Who woe is me?

I am not my Identity. I am Myself !


Therefore, woe is not me.

:)



Note to self: think this over.
