I haven't written for a long time.

by

I haven't written for a long time. Yes, that's true. I haven't. I haven't been idle, except for the time when I sleep, which I'm quite a lot into these days. I haven't been idle otherwise.

I haven't been idle; I haven't been thinking a lot. Yes, I think about what to read, what to work on next, and which show to check next. FYI, I re-watched Panchayat and almost re-watched The Big Bang Theory checking out episodes at random. I haven't been thinking much otherwise.

I haven't been thinking about anything except for work. I'm reading, I'm working, I'm watching movies. I watched movies in English and multiple Indian languages. I have been doing it all for entertainment. I need rest. I'm writing.

So, I'm writing something. I don't know what it is. This started with one thought, "I haven't written for a long time", while reading one of Salman's recent newsletters and one of Sairam's recent newsletters. I don't know if they were the most recent ones. You see, I have got a 10-day backlog of newsletters to read. I was just reading one of the newsletters in my email.

I was just reading, when this thought popped that I should be writing something. I haven't written for a long time. It puts me at ease. It's something I don't feel I've to be conscious about. No, I'm not natural at these. Don't say that. I've learned to shut my brain off probably.

I have my brain shut off now, probably. I'm just trying to connect all the thoughts inside and pull them out. I'm not able to. There are way too many to fit in one long string. Oh, I also tried to read about String Theory last night. Sheldon was discussing it with Penny over pizza. It got me curious. I tried to understand it through Wikipedia, didn't understand a bit.

I'm still curious what it is. No, you don't have to explain. I'll read about it again someday. For now, I just want to flow. I haven't been writing for this long, for a long time. Maybe, I should read more.

I should read more. I haven't read much recently. No more movies and TV shows for the next few weeks. I'll read more. Need to get more ideas. Need to write more. Write, for myself.
