Today I am not writing any blog. It is dark, but not quite as dark as I’d like it to be. It is cool, but not quite cool for me to seek warmth. How does the temperature and time affect what one writes? It does. But that is not the reason I am not writing. I am not writing because I feel like not writing. I want to be unwritten today. It is not that I am doing something else. I am writing to say I am not writing.
Does it make sense? Yes. You have to sometimes go somewhere to realise that that is not the place for you.
See this picture. These are buildings. There are people inside. But, all you can see are lights. Lights in a drunken stupor, Lights that seem like commas, pauses, waiting for something to be said beyond what they have said…
I am a comma, waiting to be completed. Sentenced.

khaalipan ke bhi kuch apne jazbaat hote hai,
shaayad itne bhi bure naa ho jitne hum samjhe.

When we're born we're unwritten, undefined, and undiscovered. We become written, defined and discovered, till we end ourselves slowly being unwritten, undefined and undiscovered again to be written again by someone else who sent us to discover ourselves.

Nothing about the pune bomb blasts, I see. Why am I not surprised? You didn't blog about the bombay attacks either. And when you eventually got around to doing it, you spun it into a conspiracy that had nothing to do with your home country.

I call it a state of suspension. I wish it could also be a time for purging but that, alas, requires 'matter'; a non-state cannot be purged. Thank you.

Hum tau kabhi sirf khaalipan ke jazbaat samajhte hai
Ab bechare acchhe bhi ho tau burai ka bojh sehna padhta hai!

Wonderfully circuitous route to end it all. Why can't the someone who sent us to discover ourselves gets away with the credit by ending it? Too much work on our shoulders.

You are not surprised because you have reached nirvana. Now you know because you think you know and you think you know because knowledge is not important. It is the thought that counts. Very touching.
Btw, there is a huge thingie at the top of the side bar that has several blogposts and articles about the Mumbai attacks; if you work your way up from the bottom you'll get it.
As regards Pune, I did not want to post recipes from German Bakery...have patience, and maybe not too much.
