  • Space as Machine

    Come to think of it.

    A piece of paper filled with your notes, lying somewhere in a pile of papers on your shelf in your room. You can sift through your papers any time of the day or month or year and pull it out in case you feel like referring to it.

    The very same notes typed into a word file, lying somewhere on some ‘server’ available 24/7. All you need to do is double-click the icon for the file and it will open for use.

    That 24/7 availability is made possible through a ‘server’. Server! Server?! It’s a machine. It has to stay on. Or perhaps needs to switch on, to speak in defence of the server, the machine.

    Suppose you keep the word file open for 3 hours. The machine stays on for 3 hours! Machine is the space, that holds your notes.

  • Political?

    How have your political views changed over time?

    I have a Politician-view more than Political view.

    While all of us have some politics inside of us, I have come to believe that political folks are a species unto them. They scare me and make me curious all the same.

  • Favorite favorite

    What is your all time favorite automobile?

    How many ‘automobiles’ do folks come to own by the time they come to write an answer to such a question?

    Or is this just a question based on visuals or knowledge of automobiles?

    Anyway, my favorite is a motorcycle called Benelli TNT 300.

    I couldn’t buy it back when it was available. And I suppose the current arrangements aren’t great either to catch hold of one.

  • How am I creative?

    How are you creative?

    Almost every day, I search for interesting titles of books based on some words or subjects that strike me in certain moments. I end up sampling and reading some of these books.

    Such readings have ensured a spring in my step, an anticipation of finding some more interesting things to do.

    Have stayed away from bestseller lists.

  • Sounds of Words

    These 3 words this morning…

    Exertions

    Exquisite

    Extricate

    First word, a noun, sounds good only in plural.

    Second one, an adjective.

    Third one, a verb.

    I did not deliberate before recording them.

  • Nothing Convinces

    Nothing convinces.

    It’s evening. Why do I even expect anything from evenings?!

  • Sachets of Time

    That’s what social media has an endless supply of.

    SACHETS OF TIME

    We spend our time consuming these endless sachets of time.

    And while consuming these sachets of time we realize, sachets of time consume us.

  • Favorite…

    Daily writing prompt
    What are your favorite physical activities or exercises?

    Chin-ups and Sprints.

    Typing such WordPress posts aren’t physical exercises?

  • Ripening

    Fruit doesn’t ripen

    And so, it can’t be eaten

    You don’t ripen

    And so, you can’t ask that question either!

  • Hard Situations

    What’s the hardest decision you’ve ever had to make? Why?

    All decisions I’ve made seem to be hard. No, not really. I’ve let the situations become so hard that I have no choice but to accept the hardness of the situations decide for me.

    That said, the easiest decisions these days are the small ones I make every day. Spring up and do a few chin-ups. Arms feel so good after that.

    Or, out of nowhere, get down and do a set of 10 push-ups of my style, elbows close to the body.

  • Lot of What?

    You are surrounded by a lot. You have to handle and unhandle a lot.

    For a writer, lot of words and meanings.

    For a commercial man, lot of people and equations between people. Lot of them.

  • Atrocious

    If you didn’t need sleep, what would you do with all the extra time?

    The question means, we would unpunctuatedly awake. That would be atrocious.

    I would spend the extra time to figure what would make folks want, if not need, sleep.

    But imagine, if sleep wouldn’t be needed, would we even be aware that there is a process, a state of being, called sleep.

    Aww, atrocious! Sleep is my lover.

  • Sticky You Are?

    Is the message sticky? Or are you really sticky?

    How does it take the message to stick? How long does one stick with a message?

    Digital marketers don’t bother with these matters. They bother with content.

    Messageless content.

  • Machine Operators

    The Digital Camera is a machine.

    The Mobile (Smart, am sorry) Phone is a machine too.

    The photographer, it turns out on many occasions, becomes a machine operator. Operator is paid for operating the machine, mind you.

    The Smart Phone user is also a machine operator. Useless one, often.

  • Unexpected Push-ups

    10 push-ups at any time was an unexpected convenient toffee-like measure.

    And now I do push-ups at unexpected moments. Just 10 at a time. Without any burden of doing any given number of sets or number.

  • 10 Push-ups

    I’ve stopped eating chocolates. Not that I was eating a lot earlier, but whatever I used to, I’ve cut down on that too.

    10 Push-ups is my new toffee. I’m going to binge on that it seems.

  • Long Sleep

    What are your favorite animals?

    Sleep.

    The longer it is, the better I feel. Like last night. I was in the company of a really long sleep, and it felt great. Am in a good mood now.
