Much to write about nothing

George Eliot once said, “Blessed is the man who, having nothing to say, abstains from giving worthy evidence of the fact.” Well…I don’t quite agree.

So here I am, having absolutely no clue what I am going to write about, but giving it a shot anyway. Boredom is the mother of all invention…that’s what I always say. What do you do when you have nothing to do? Have you ever thought about that? Neither did I…until now.

When you have too many things going on in your head, your best friend is the pen (or the keyboard, as is in my case). Just keep writing; who knows what will come out—a solution to your biggest problem, dark secrets about yourself even you did not know, your deepest feelings and desires or maybe a creation fit for the Nobel Prize in Literature.

So, here goes nothing….

I completely concur....Nothingness leads to a lot of stuff. did not like the dark secrets part :p, but am thinking seriously on the nobel prize creation part. so, now you have somebody to follow your nothingness:)

Thanks for your comments. Dark secrets make a person interesting, don't you think?

well , dont undertand this business of life . we spend all our lives chasing the green bucks only to find that real happiness lies with people who truly love us . i really dont know whether this has anything to do with the topic , but i just cant imagine , lives being spent on trying to prove that the rest of the world is right or wrong . i mean at the end of the day it really does not matter , whether you own a second hand car or a honda accord or a BMW.

@Santanu: Thanks for your comment, but its on a different topic altogether. Looks like I'll have to write a separate post for it. And yes, I agree with you. It doesn't matter what you have, but who you are.
