Just A Zilch

Disclaimer: This post might be a bit depressing ‘coz I have a long list of things to crib about. So, all you, bright, happy, cheerful guys n gals, please click on the ‘cross’ at the top right corner of this web page or read at your own risk!

“Every decision you make is a mistake” said Edward Dahlberg. And I’m in sync with his thoughts today. Today is the day of indecisiveness. I’m not able to decide on anything. I used to be indecisive earlier as well but now I am not quite sure.

I have rejected at least 5 ideas (my own, of course!) for today’s blog post. It’s one of those days when everything seems to be in a muddle, no clarity of thoughts, and no vision. Am I suffering from mental fatigue? Writing fatigue? Chronic fatigue? Am I bone-weary or am I soul-weary? I guess it’s all and this is bugging me to no end. I’m stuck! I’ve been sitting in front of my laptop (it’s my brother’s but I can pretend it to be mine.) for the last few hours and have come up with NOTHING! So far, so bad and yes! I’m not confident of even finishing this post in the way I would have liked.

Myriad of thoughts are going through, but none is getting crystallized. What about a post on Sachin’s blitzkrieg knock of 175...uh-huh no cricket please! (Yeah! it’s the 8th wonder of the world for me...or I don’t know which wonder...nowadays they keep changing the wonders, in our school days we just had seven!)

Should it be This or That?
Past or Present or Future?
Fact or Mystery?
Fake or Real?
Post or No Post?
Yes or No?

I tried my best but I failed miserably. Here I can recall the words of Samuel Beckett- Winner of Nobel Prize in Literature who once said, “Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better.” I promise for a livelier post next time around...a gentleman’s promise it is! I am bitterly disappointed at this effort of mine of churning out a nice, interesting, and funny or a witty post, but the end result is Just A Zilch.

Your last 2 posts remind me of my condition about 7-8 months ago. Incidentally I was also going through d same onerous phase of life then. I had also written some similar posts like yours then. I wont say anything else. Just read those comments which u had posted on my posts then. Maybe those lines can help u a bit.
