Well it’s been quite some days since my last post and as
always I have an excuse. A brilliant one to say the least if I may say so
myself!!! I am simultaneously writing on four different streams of thoughts and yes very often I end up
thinking about the warring ideas rather than putting them down on paper….or
rather my computer screen!! In the process all four are half written and
waiting rather morosely to see the light of the day. It’s quite frustrating to
say the least. First having to deal with the ‘having-no-inclination- to-write’
phase and now having the ‘too-much-to–say-and-don’t-know-how’ phase!!! Patience
is a virtue I very clearly seem to have missed out on.
I personally feel that the stream of consciousness theory,
pioneered by ms Virginia Woolf amongst others, was basically just a smokescreen
for dealing with this kind of a thought process!!! I mean why bother separating
the different streams when you can just dump them all together and let the poor
reader plod his way through trying to basically find the point!!! Imagine being
able to write what you please as you want it without the completely unfair added
pressure of it having to make sense!!!
Our politicians have after all mastered this art and it
seems to be working for them too. Have you ever seen them hold forth on their
accomplishments??? Its so much more interesting watching paint dry! On and on
they go talking about this and that making absolutely no sense while the
hastily herded together audience concentrates (and rightly so)on the paid-for
puri aaloo and swats at flies!!! Or our
done to death saas bahu soaps for that matter. Stretched way beyond requirement
repetitive and monotonous…..but yet they hold the nation in thrall! They make not
an iota of sense even when they are all clubbed together!!! Definitely stream
of consciousness at work there I say!
Wouldn’t life be wonderful if anything worth saying could be
said as a long meandering monologue with no friendly voices telling you to
kindly cap it and get to the DAMN POINT!!!! Ok ok I heard you guys….am going
back to writing!!!
thats the best part of a blog my dahlin.... ;-D
ReplyDeletethe meandering thoughts and the monologue..which NO ONE can interrupt!
you can go on and on and there is no one to stop you!
