Nothing to write. Nothing to
blog. Nothing to communicated. Nothing, nothing at all.
I had often felt
that nothingness is great. Being empty minded is good, maybe on a weekend or
during a vacation when we have nothing to do, nothing to be held responsible
for, nothing to think about. Those are the times when we gain consciousness
early in the morning and feel lazy to move our eyelids apart. Thinking about nothing
in the darkness, that the lids surround the eyes with, we roll on the bed and
while away time aimlessly. Those are the days when the only duty that demands a
wake up is the morning coffee or a TV show we had scheduled to watch. We sit on
the couch with the coffee right after brushing and stay there unnoticed and not
noticing the rest of the worst, sticking our vision tight with the TV screens
or these days its facebook. After sometime, not knowing the lapse of time,
looking at the clock, we realize that we were doing nothing for hours together.
Suddenly responsibility creeps in our mind and we slide the curtains that
helped us remain space-equally, not knowing what part of the day we were in,
just to know if it was am or pm. No mood to bath or no mood to eat, we do all
that just to remind us that we are still humans. Nothingness was great to me
till it hit my blog. Now when I say ‘I have nothing to blog about’ it hurts.
Most of us start
blogging when we are hit with nothingness in life, when we have nothing to do
or nothing to play or nothing to watch. We get bored of or scared of
nothingness. Sometimes this leads to loneliness and sometimes craziness. But
for a few this results in blogness. We start a blog and dissolve the
nothingness in it. The frequency of blogging increases as the nothingness
prolongs. But as time passes and when the nothingness in life fades, we become
too busy to blog. Life tries to keep us too busy and we start longing for those
nothing-days. During these busy times, even when we get a little free time we
want to curl under the cover of nothingness, we fail to blog. Few-days becomes
few-months and few-months become few years. When we meet bloggers we start
saying ‘I used to blog like anything but now I don’t find time. Maybe you can
find my old posts here.’
For few female
blogger a twist and turn comes and we get into the family routine, living for
the kid, working for the family, thinking about the husband and all the rest
that zeroes down to nothing to blog or no time to blog. Few years pass and we find
it difficult to remember even the blog URL.
My only question
to people who belong to the ‘WE’ in the above is this- ‘Do you really need
something to blog about? Do we really don’t have time just to pen down few
thoughts and share?’ I had nothing to blog. I had to run behind sites to host
contest or groups to host some activity to keep my blog alive. I am shrinking
from within as a blogger and growing huge as a loser. Suddenly a thought pinged
my useless brain and here I am blogging about how I have nothing to blog.
Nothingness is interesting.
Uselessness is even better and my post about uselessness will follow.
Thanks to the
nothingness in your day that made you read this post!
haha! Good one and I tell you - sometimes doing nothing is great! There was a time I gifted a friend an empty box; he had everything, so I gave him nothing! Funny as it may sound, nothing exists! :D

ReplyDeleteWhat profound thoughts on nothingness. I see that you're slowly mutating into a frizzy-haired philosopher who writes about worldly pleasures and calls them nothing.
