this post

This post to say i have no clear reason or direction in mind. This post to say that out loud so i dont put that thought back in the recesses of my mind and slip into the usual comfortable numbness

evening in office

this is another evening in office.. im feeling tired but blogging is nice. i finished an interesting project today. We were asked to come up with ideas on how to make people wear & carry condoms - those who frequent brothels.. KP , cotton green areas etc.

We did soem pretty creative things.. genereally having a blast till we reached objective number three. Now objective number three had us styumped. it said 'dispel the myth that people who wear condoms are infected' .. !!! dispel the myth! ..just like that. besides i was wondering how did such an opinion form in the first place? then it struck me that ironically .. its possible that ngo ( like the one we were 'servicing') probably did some campaign in the area that said that infected people can have sex provided they wear condoms' ... perhaps that campaign was a little too successful?..advertising has such power.. oof.. now im feeling all burdened with responsibility ..

but who has the time? to be repsonsible.. to think before i deicde hwo to treat a communication, to weigh the psosible effects, positive & negative.. (there are a couple of million im sure).. who has the time?? ..and what a frivolous excuse that is..sigh

i have a body ache now and im cranky.. more tomorrow... this is getting to be a nice habit..

stalkers on saturday afternoon

radioheads thom yorke is 'climbing up the walls' ..very creepily

Its surreal .. this..listeining to songs about stalkers on saturday afternoons in office. is surreal rightly used here? malapropism! .. i really should stop giving people these unsolicited insights into my cluttered brain by starting and stopping streams of thoughts like this.. hmmm

i have just been to mukuls blog, sonus blog, rohans blog & ninads blog.. and nwo im feeling terribly inadequate. but we trudges ons. This putting eses after everything is a reuslt of a long association with vaibhav verma.. i wonder how many other things i say or do are reflections of people ive met or been friends with.

That reminds me. i think that originality has been exhausted. i was telling rohan this yesterday and he said originality was a myth in the first place.. i started feeling a little better about shameless co - opting taglines & skewing them to my own concepts.. :) but sometimes it feels like this is IT and nothing newer can ever be imagined , no other treatment is possible. Very humbling then when sampath comes up with something better in the next instant.

How sad , by the time we make up words like creativity & originality ...the moments have already passed!!

toodles people now.. i shall blog again this very evening...
