Sometimes I wonder how life takes its treacherous plans, executes it on
us, and does not want to tell us, about what happens next. What has my life
amounted too? All of those 19 years of useless ranting around, watching TV,
movies, wasting time eating, sleeping? Doing, thinking, wondering stuff, that make
no sense. Until some years back, when the keyboard started making sense to me,
when life came like a puzzle, half solved, when I couldn't resist to type, not
because I wanted to type, but because I fancied people in fancy Hollywood movies
and the speed with which they type. No, I did not attend typing classes,
neither did I practiced typing. All I did was chat on Facebook, day and night,
with friends and strangers alike. I started typing a lot, chatting with people
from Hawaii, Boston, England, Canberra, New York, and people from different
time zones all around the world. Their English varied, and so did the
politeness, the way they type, the way they express themselves. Having gone
through all that, now, I could pretend to be a smart ass guy from MIT, Boston,
or a single working mother from New York. Moreover, pretending to be a Chinese
person is effortless, as far as the other person does not turn out to be
Chinese.
As far as my English is concerned, people find it hard to believe, but
watch 3 Hollywood movies a day for a year, and your English would
be appreciably fluent. Well, it worked for me. One good thing about
the Television set, and all the movies I have watched so far. Blogging, on the
other hand came as an interest to me all of a sudden. I did not learn to type,
but I learned in the process of making new friends. The only reason I type, is
because I feel better, when I put all that I'm thinking on a keyboard with a
memory or a piece of paper. Writing with a pen never fascinated me, given my
bad handwriting, but writing on the keyboard always does.
Now, as the clock strikes 1500 hours on the 5th of December, 2012, I'm
not wasting my study holidays studying throughout the day. But instead, I'm
doing what I love the most. Blog post. There are only 11 more days for the
semester exams to start, and I know I've to study, but I've not yet started,
because I could not start studying without typing all this onto a valid
keyboard. Exams, what they do is, get into the brains of the people without a
strong will, and make them study 19 hours a day, which ultimately takes a toll
on their health. Give it a rest, maintain a strong will, and study one day
before the exam, watch miracles happen. Because, it was meant to be this way, I
do not know what happens next, whether this post becomes an Internet sensation
or the world ends on 21st December, but I try to make sense of it
all, because I believe, LIFE was meant to be.
Keep reading folks.
