Words with Friends

Realized today that it might be time to post in my blog. I was in search of a topic and finally gave up. I have always found that writing came easy. A bit here, a bit there, a little striking out, a little more writing and a bit of cut- copy - paste brings out wonders or at least something readable. But what I do publish, is less than a tenth of what I write.

It is a comfort when words pour out with no need of restrain, and a greater comfort when they are struck out and thrown into the waste paper basket - knowing it has served its purpose. I was told once by a friend, that pouring out ones thoughts onto a piece of paper helps vent emotions better than taking it out on anyone in particular. I agree, it was a very wise advice, but I also find that papers are always not always in arms reach, let alone a pen, and tempers rage out of control in the mean while(I am a Taurus, so I should know). It's the same like punching a pillow 10 times or counting to a hundred when the blood is boiling(But I hear punching a face rather than a pillow is a thousand times more effective :) )

I have a diary where I write only when I am happy. My brother says it beats the actual purpose of maintaining a dairy in the first place, but this diary cheers me up. And every time I am blue, or things go out of control, I read from it and it lifts my spirit. Words carefully chosen has worked magic all through the ages, and is no different for me.

And when this monologue doesn't work, of course there is no better rainbow in the sky than talking to a friend. I have been blessed with some really awesome friends who share my everything.

There are times when I go to where the whole world seems to be going for- Log into face book, and its like a diary of what all your friends have been doing all the time you were offline. Who is going where, who is dating who, who got dumped, who got a new job... the list goes on. It's great knowing you are all still together, knowing all that's happening even though you are miles apart. And with the mobile web, this is much more convenient. We always hear of how in the old ages, friends stayed in touch even though they never see each other for years on end? And how now friends can be together online 24/7 and also see through the web. Makes me wonder if we should really be complaining how fast technology is evolving and how it is affecting the people. Isn't it truly ironical?
