First of all I beg for your forgiveness, I am really sorry
for not deserting my dearest blog for a whole month. I was not suffering from
writers block rather the lazy-bum syndrome. To put it in a simple way I did not
have any new misadventure, twisted tales or any important event to pen down
with. I would have written something, but my internet connection has been
testing my patience for a long time. That was not all, my cell phone had
conspired with my modem too. Right now I am sitting in a cyber café and typing.
I would like to share what I gained and missed this month without my 24/7 net
connection and cell phone.
Missed.
1. Every
night I had been watching my favorite
anime Bleach online. It was three
episode per night. Now if I calculate it, I missed watching two seasons.
2. I missed all the news around the world. Yes we
do subscribe newspaper and we have television too. But we don’t subscribe
English newspaper but Bangla. So my
online news supply from TOI, Newyorkers, Huffingtonpost, Hindu, etc are cut off.
Television no longer seduces me and the news reporters shouting Breaking News
frustrates me.
3. I
missed reading the latest Yaoi Manga in Yaoi heaven. I never mentioned it in my blog, but I am a
huge Yaoi fan and despite my all human rights and feminist ideologies I harvest
an sinful interest.
4. I
miss my Facebook, not because I want to chat and track my friends but
theres a really new game or app whatever
people call it. The game is Bitstrip and it’s a comic making game with our own
avatar. Hence I want to play it.
5. Missed
reading Paulo Coelho’s latest blog post. I missed Neil Gaiman’s blog post. I
missed many blog posts of art blogs, fashion blogs, feminist blog etc.
6. Youtube
my never disappointing friend was not left out too. I missed the art videos,
new trailers of movies, anime OVAs , short flims and yaoi off course.
7. With
my cell phone gone, I miss my pocket money too. Without watsapp my cell phone
life has become handicapped. The sms rates have gone up, recharge cards have
become scarce. Overall my online and virtual world suffered an apocalypse. Its
still suffering from apocalypse, which is the reason why I am in a cyber café
typing.
Gained
1. Well
I read five novellas of Ruskin Bond in three days. It was really great that I
managed to pull them. I read my beloved Sandman book II A dolls house. I
completed the last part of the Shiva trilogy The Oath of The Vayuputra and I
must say it was an epic end to the trilogy. I read many more. In general I
finish three book s a month with some extra light reading, but I think I need
this break from virtual life.
2. I
finished reading “A portrait of the
artist as a Young Man” for second time. Now why is this not in the above point? Honestly this book is a
masterpiece itself. Its too complicated for my little brain, hence rereading it
is an achievement for me.
3. I
painted many small arts on stick pad. I drew painted, coloured, pasted. My
creative urges required this flow of undisturbed solitude.
4. I
created many bookmarks, we all know flipkart gives bookmarks without charging,
yet I desired my own set off bookmarks. Flipkart taught me that a bookmark can
express your feelings, moods, demands. It helps really..
5. My
money in my bank account got saved for the month. Well I am an online book
shopaholic who gets tempted to buy graphic novels and comics without any second
thought. I buy all kind off books resulting in infinite number of unread books.
So I am little less angry with faltering net connection.
6. I
survived without my cell phone for a week. It was a torture, that I could not
call and text people. I always thought I would be dead without it and my cell
phone was next to oxygen. But we did survive.
7. I
finished my pending home work, I do study everyday, but there were many notes
lying around without a thorough reading. I organized my mental frame for the
upcoming finals. So I am all set to go.
Since my result came out I am second this
time, well it did not hurt that I am not the topper. If we see it from my angle
I did not go down I am consistent on my constant GPA , but the topper increased
hers. So I need to be more competitive, it’s the only chance in life I will
ever top in academics. But I suck at
being competitive; still we will try our best.
P.S- So over all this never seeked
break from virtual one was a must for my bubble head. Since my net problem is
not solved yet, I am going to schedule two more post for this month. Don’t know
when will write back.
thanking you to bear with me
