Sincerest apologies to people who did read my blog. It has been a LONG time since i wrote anything. Well to my credit I did write an article but that was supposed to go to my CV, not to my blog. If people who see my CV ever read my blog, I would be dependent on my wife financially for ever.
So what was the excuse for this lack of muse. You see I was planning a wedding. And all the while I thought how I would write a big fat blog about it. I am still contemplating about the first sentence. I was contemplating about it about half an hour ago. So I thought lets get some inspiration from myself. I opened my own blog and reread all my posts.
A funny thing cropped up. I used to dabble in some poetry before. Some of my earlier posts have a few poems. And thats just a tip of the iceberg. I suddenly remembered how much I used to write poems when i was young - really young. Maybe some people still have copies of the poems I wrote. That was funny , because I always used to write in small slips of paper, and used to give them away. They were small pieces maybe 10- 12 lines at most. And to people who are having high hopes , let me warn you - all my poems were solely concentrated in rhyming; nothing more.
I actually sat down to write a poem - ( wow talk about poetic flair!) and first of all just think of a word. Now the most difficult task , get a word which rhymes with the previous word. Once you have it then write down two lines. Now see if there is any remote connection between the 2 lines. If there is some connection then voila- a poem is born. 5 sets of rhyming words and a whole poem is constructed. They were stupid, silly, idiotic and frankly I do not remember ANY of them !
For a person who used to write for no rhyme or reason, I am left with no rhyme- only reason !
N.B. The wedding has been planned and it is over with. However I still do not promise a big fat post .
As Rene Descartes would have written had there been ink in his pen : " I am thinking " .
