I had vouched when I began this blog, that it would not be a personal blog. In that sense, it would not be a blog where I would rant about my miserable life - about bouts of bad luck, or bouts of depression, both of which had been recurrent features in my life. I used to be the kind of person who wrote such blogs- in my earlier days, when I had just begun working, and was mostly horribly depressed and anxious. I had hoped when I would grow older (as in now, at whooping 33), I would have so much more depth to life that every touch to the keyboard would mint out something magically philosophical and substantial. 

Clearly, it did not happen. And, here I am, looking disdainfully, at how little I have written over the years, since this blog began. And worse of it all, how little I have in my mind now when I begin to write - almost like a recycled tabula rasa

On one side, there is a life - illustrated by the adage "days pass, nothing  happen. Years pass, decades happen" (that I picked up from a senior's Facebook page), and on the other side, the constant desire to remain creatively motivated - to write, to learn, and to be brave. Double Whammy !

In the mindless hours I spent on youtube, which is my  social media comfort cookie with tingles from ASMR videos, I learnt that people watch really stupid videos with no content, if they are in the form of  pointers - like, "Ten Heroines who were fat", or "Ten Child Actors who are now Dead" "Ten Facts you did not know about Leonardo Di Caprio" - get insane views. I am asking you - who are these people who watch these ?  Or is good content, an overrated idea, when all that people crave are mindless powerpoint presentations ?
