I'm here

my first post. this was when my blog was called"i'm unprepared."


The day began without any surprises; I had tea and sat down to study. Yeah.... study, because my exams are approaching. Anyway, I was studying quite oblivious to what was happening around me till the intercom rang to inform that some relatives were here. Not that I don't like them or something, but I hate surprises. And I was surprised. After some polite conversation they left but I could never get back to my books. (It really wasn’t their fault; even a little whining from my dog would’ve done it)

So after surfing through quite a few idiotic things on the idiot box, I switched on the less idiotic one (please excuse me, Mr. Charles Babbage). And decided to read my friends and seniors- Puja and Kanika’s blogs and just out of the blue decided to join in!!!

That’s how the name came about.... I didn’t wake up in the morning thinking that I would start a blog neither did I ever want to…so u see I really am unprepared. Unlike my friends,I don’t have anything erudite to say. They would agree with me considering the random things i say.

But now that I look back these randomly chosen words actually speak a lot. These words that were just an impulsive, nervous answer to what the name of my blog will be, I have realized are not quite random. I am unprepared for a lot more (my upcoming exams to start with!). I’m unprepared to step out into the open and face the sun (strictly metaphoric!). I’m unprepared to find somebody close, unreachable. I’m unprepared to stand in front of the mirror and find somebody different.

UNPREPARED, I am for so much more that I’m not prepared to name them all.

P.S. A sinsere plea to all my friends to not laugh at what i've written

Pock?!?! I likes the post. However,
a few things first
1) You have a dog?
2)Why are you asking Mr. Babbage to excuse you?
3)I think it should be 'stepping out into the open and fac'ing' the sun.
4)You have a dog?

But this is a nice surprise(and I like surprises). Keep posting. I shall keep visiting.
Also, you have a dog?

Puja said...

Ishani, what is that you mean when you say 'e angst'? existential angst? email angst?! or angst with a bengali accent?
Ishani, what is it that u mean when you say 'jumping into anything un'?

Unknown said...

puja darling for the first-that is to keep you guessing for the rest of your life tho ur third hypothesis doesnt make 'sen'-se hehe
and anything un (prepared) or prepared. read honey read!
why isnt prakriti writing anything?

Puja said...

I'm not sure why, Ishani. She IS a bit of a recluse you know?

Prakriti said...

are u guys talking about me??.. sorry saw these comments only now....
1) dunno why i didn't get an e alert (email)
2) also because i'm trying to curb my online expeditions till the 27th of april (that's the fateful day i get over with my exams, wht about u guys?)
3) i think the coversation could've sustained itself without my inputs, but i decided to write after u guys (surprisingly) started missing me!
