A status message....

A formal welcome greeting to all followers of my blog.
Am back....! (oooh yeah..!)
No, not now, wait your turn.

So, after what seemed like a gruelling couple of weeks in college, here I am, mindlessly blogging away..! I suppose I shouldn't say "mindlessly" after all... Not with Rudha watching everything happening here...

and you better remember that!

Over the past few weeks, I have noticed a few things that seemed to catch my eye.. things that seemed to instantly earn a "like" eventhough it is, after all just another mundane activity. Now, a common question may arise. Why, of all times, did such common activities seemed to pull me towards them now? The answer is quite simple. In this fast paced world, ruled by smartphones and their slaves (us), we hardly tend to notice such simple things around us. But I was jobless enough to delevope an interest in them.

Wrong! I notice almost everything! You are one weird person.
Yeah right! I know what you notice... That may be another reason why you are Rudha and me, Ani.
Show off!

Things even as simple as that of a water drop dancing on the edge of a tap (ready to make a free fall any moment), is taken for granted. True to the fact that each drop counts, we hardly notice the increase in its rate of flow till the dripping sound intensifies. Everything in this world, has a pattern. And these are small enough to be easily ignored.

whoa! Mathematics..! No way am I coming near that...!
Mathematics?
I thought you said "patterns"?

True to the ethics of slavery to a smartphone, I was engrossed texting my friends one fine day, over a popular social networking chat service, when I happen to notice the status messages of a few of my friends change. One or two of these caught my eye and I ended up pondering as to what life really is...

That, Sir, is one brilliant move!
Oh! You are making me blush....!
Ok, now, its getting queer!

A few minutes thus passed and I happen to notice something weird. The statuses were changing quite often and a few even had statuses that countered their friends! Now, almost everyone is a cell-phone addict here and believe me, very few actually stop to notice the status change or to even read what you have entered. It is little things like these that many casually, by-pass in their lives. Of course, no one is going to lose or gain much, even when they neglect such small incidents and occurances in their lives. But, all that I want to say is this. The world around us has to be slowed down every once in a while. Stop, and notice the little things in life around you. Sometimes, it is necessary for our minds to relax a little after a hectic day's work. Who knows what's in store for us... Maybe an important task that failed to make it to our to-do lists, or a brilliant idea that was born just to win the next nobel prize (or any other such awards), might suddenly strike the memory part of our brains.
Or, maybe, such little things would not turn out to be as fruitful as expected but might serve as a perfect time-killer.

You know, I just noticed something....
what?!
We are all out of breath-mints...
Yet another reason why I hate you.
This is serious too!
Go do something resourceful..!
Fine. Now, how about I change my status message...? hm...?
