Chaotic Me

Schizophrenic Ramblings - Happy first post!!

I have been wanting to blog for a long time now. And quite frankly, it has been like my attempts at kicking the butt. Tried a few times but then quickly lost the whole plot. Got busy with life and work and forgot about the whole thing. Now and then I read some news on the news websites, research a bit and suddenly, I have this urge to write and be heard. I want to shout out loud about what I think Pranab Mukherjee being the new President, I want people to hear what I have to say about Anna Hazare and his team of supporters, I want to write about the hope of a billion people to have the best Olympics medal haul ever this year, I want to abuse Amar Jyoti Kalita on a very public forum and see him squirm... but at the end of the day, life and job take priority. After all, who has made money out of writing blogs?!

Is it not the mentality that we, as Indians, have had all this time? Yes, we are one of the oldest civilization around. we invented zero and somehow got stuck to our love for that number when it came to results! So why is it that I, who rambles rather logically about things that are happening in India while I try and make a living in the UK, do not find enough time to write about it?

It does not really matter if people read it or not. I can not write stuff because I want others to tell me how awesome a writer I am. I want to write for myself. I want to write for that urge to put my thoughts on paper (or screen in this case). I want to write because quite simply, I want to.

When I see these lines that I have just written in the last 15 minutes or so, I suddenly feel like I am staring down a page written by someone suffering from acute schizophrenia! Not sure how this blog will end up. Hopefully not like its earlier siblings. Hopefully, life will start making sense soon.
