Inefficiency

I believe in efficiency. One should always use every second of one’s time doing something productive. Productive doesn’t mean one has to work or study or listen to philosophy. Far from it. It may just mean doing what you do for recreation or for fun or as a hobby, doesn’t matter.

The crux of what I want to convey is, one should not waste time doing nothing or doing something which, one knows, is of no value. I know I sound odd in the sense that one always keeps doing something and even when one is not doing something, one is technically resting which is included in expression ‘recreation’. But how often I see someone ‘bored’ and ‘busy’. Efficiency comes into picture in these scenarios. Everything is an asset, the time one has, the resources available, one’s energy and knowledge. So, with all these assets at disposal, one doesn’t have any business being bored. One must always have something more than usual to do, albeit optional. Secondly, one mustn’t usually be too busy to do anything which presents itself, if and when one chooses to do it.

All this being my opinion. We know everyone has a right to have their opinions (and inefficiency)

As for me, I use being busy as a tool to avoid someone. Being bored is violation even by my flexible standards.

The Wait

Waiting for you

On this open terrace

Looking at the stars and thinking of you

Listening to your voice

And your noise and thinking of you

Lights around me glittering like stars

Too many stars staring at me, wondering what I am waiting for

I am looking down on one such light and thinking of you

I am hungry and sleepy

I am everything you blame me to be

Yet I am there on that cement terrace and thinking of you

It’s too dirty to sit and my legs are too tired to stand.

But your voice is too sweet to miss

And you, too stubborn to give in

I am thinking of words to curse you and thinking of you.

The stars are tired of me staring

Waiting for me is the world to delight in

And I don’t boost of a strong resolve either

Yet I am still listening to your voice and your noise

And waiting for you..

The Need For NEW

I don’t ask much of life, I churn out enough out of myself, but it can’t take me for granted either. I need my share of excitement albeit small.

The need for something new is perpetual. At that, I feel I am better because I don’t depend on much for amusement and change. I download a few songs and it makes my day. Buying a new shirt keeps me happy for a week. Small things keep me going. Sometimes big things. But stagnation scares me. I MUST have something to look forward to continuously. It doesn’t matter if it is as immaterial as writing an article which is read only when I am writing it. 

PS: searching for 'the need for new' gave so many results: the need for new + a noun (like the need for new standards, ideas, and a lot of new things that are needed) but not one with the exact phrase. strange. There is a real need for just 'The need for NEW' results.
