Today morning I woke up to three things of which I would categorize two as usual, one special. If I were to categorize these three things on the basis of significance, one would be significant and two utterly insignificant. Well, in a third classification on the basis of rarity, two are rare and one’s a daily thing.
Ok , enough of this riddle business. I am coming to the point, just hang on. Before I tell you what I am talking about, I want you to think in your head how it feels when you know something for sure and it’s just that you aren’t being able to recall it. It’s there in the system for sure, it’s just that you don’t have something as great as google to search your brain. Or better still, how does it feel when you can’t come up with the right word to express what’s on your head. At times like these, one fails to express and comes up with lame expressions like, “what’s that called……”. Only to tell people that you are being unable to think up a word, but you have an idea!
Well going back to where I’d started. Today morning I woke up to three things. One, my alarm which is one song I like but have no idea why I set it up as my alarm tone, coz essentially the guy is talking about getting a girl laid. In my first round of categorization this one’s called the usual as there is nothing special about this as I was waking up to it for the last one week too. The second thing I woke up to was some really amazing weather, well that’s what gets categorized as special in round one, coz not everyday does a Delhite wake up to beautiful breeze, usually it’s lots of sweat. The third thing, and by now it is obvious that it has been categorized as usual, was a “thought”. This is because practically everyday I wake up to some thought, just something or the other, so there ain’t something special about it.
I now head on to round two of classification, which happens on the basis of significance. Well the alarm tone is undoubtedly insignificant, after all there is no big deal about it, I can have it one day, not have it the other and for all you know I’ll have it back the third day. So let’s just leave it there. The weather though special wasn’t all that significant. No doubt it did make my morning jog quite a pleasure. What more does one want, the smell of rain soaked mud, and cool breeze. But yet, it doesn’t qualify to be significant. But what I categorize as significant is the thought that came to me. I had found a word to describe my self. If you’d remember in my last post I’d written about my dilemma of being unable to give my self an occupation. Well here it is, from today on I call my self ‘ Pseudo-employed’
In round three, the newly coined term and the weather are categorized as rare and the alarm tone as common. Waking up to a thought that brings some peace to your mind, rather it was like finding something that I’d been searching for, for really long. The word that I knew I knew, but just wasn’t getting it. Though I am precisely what I slept as yesterday night, but in some way, significant enough, I am relieved and at peace within me. At the moment when I woke up the word that came to me was “Eureka!!”. And the following expression was “ what took me so long..what was I thinking”. The weather was also rare, not something I can experience now as I write this and in all probability tomorrow morning too would be about sweat, and breeze would be something for the dreams.
