In fact there is blankness everywhere....

I am writing after a long absence from my blog... well about 3 months... Nevermind...

It's an odd feeling when I was travelling to work early this week, my mind was filled with confusion. I looked around in the hope to console myself. I saw people around me on the train. Some of them were standing while others sitting. A lady was sitting next to me on the seat. All I noticed in all of them is a mere blankness. Everyone was going to work to make a living. That's all there is.

Blank thoughts

In my lonely room
Staring at the ceiling
Thoughts with no outlet

Procrastination

Procrastination
But it's time to contemplate
And I'm getting there

Impatience and chaos

Saturday arvo.... I am sitting on my bed doing stuff on my laptop. Chinese New Year being celebrated few hundred metres from my place. I can hear music playing in the festival from my room. One of the busy roads is blocked for the day. I can hear vehicles whizzing past my place.

I can hear the distant sound of horns honking. Vehicles must be trapped on a busy traffic. As usual the drivers are getting impatient, well more than ever. But I am silently enjoying the chaos outside. I just heard a car coming to a screeching halt. Something must have gone wrong out there. LOL.

Organised chaos

I stopped at the traffic lights and was waiting for the signal to cross the street. I saw a fleet of cars waiting for the lights to turn green. There were several rows of cars waiting. I looked at the drivers. I felt they were the slaves to the red and green lights. I felt I am enjoying a lot more freedom with my feet rather than sitting behind the wheel. I just found it funny to see the cars obeying the rules and could not help laughing silently.

Sound of raindrops on a quiet night
Knocking on the doorsteps of my mind

I am awake and contemplating
My mind heavy with thoughts
Scared, anxious and paranoid

Raindrops an instant soothing remedy
Looking forward to them
Every night

Life in a suitcase

How would it feel living inside a box? I mean, only carrying a bare minimum to live your life... fit everything that you need in a suitcase... and walk around carrying your suitcase... take your life with you wherever you go...

I am not interested in accumulating unnecessary belongings. I sometimes think I would consider myself successful if I can fit my life in a suitcase. It really bothers me to own a lot of things and having to carry them with me when I move places. Everything a person really needs to survive is food, clothes, a place to live and a small company of good people. If I can fit food, clothes and few other things in a suitcase, I could consider myself lucky...
