have nothing to say, will say it anyway

Things don't turn out quite the way you'd expect them to. I've got a big bunch of notes which adds up to,oddly, nothing. So I'll ramble on, like in the song, which is, my yo-cousin informs me, about Frodo.
Dilbert strips amaze me. It took me some time to see that it's all real. Everything that happens to Dilbert or any of the characters is like a snapshot out of someone's office/life. mine too sometimes : it takes about three statements/assignments/questions from my pointy-haired to stop me dead in my tracks and make me sit in a zombie-daze and drool away. And this is
usually accomplished well before lunch. have to bone up on dilbert strategy.
Was thinking back about the shows in college. Grudgingly had to admit that I am never going to climb onto a stage to play stuff in this life.
Saw lightning streak across the sky y'day evening, silvery fingers on dark blue. heard the thunder rumble in the distance,heard the gods clearing their throats.
While it rains , if one listens carefully, one can hear/feel them laughing silently.
Talking of dilbert, C&H is one thing that lays out life's questions very neat and clean. Bill's hidden agenda must've been imho something to do with philosophy. And wisely, he made it a comic strip 'coz , well, grown-ups are _such_ kids at times.
so many times.
They say "..language is an instrument of human reason, and not merely a medium for the expression of thought. "
Language is a tool. OK, analogy - a spanner produces a tightened nut. Language produces reason. Does that
sound similiar ?
Then, did man start thinking before language came about or after ?
Gotta run, will take this further later. If I sound stoopid, then it's the samosas I had at tea time that messed up my brain-circuits.

now thats what i call a rambling. lovely one, at that. i've posted similarly once.. yea C&H IS abt philo. i'v felt it many a time.. n' yes, i sat watchin the lightning too, on wed. nite tho'. frm the 8th floor of my building. frm that height, u feel like ur almost level with it. n' that Thor floats in the sky strikin the clouds with his hammer-of-lore!! makes it almost believable.. gives albatross wings to ur imagination to actuate a wild flight indeed! ah.. i love u man. as for ur drumming, well at least u were lucky enuf to get on stage at college. there are ppl who'll never get to showcase their skills.. (read me) however, its not imp. the guitar n' vocals i do are for personal bliss.. bein able to make music on ur own is the most wonderful n' effective instrument of happiness.. don't u agree? i think we're all old (u and i will never be senile, trust me!) we'll put together a nice little show for our own pleasure.. probly can get taklu n' vicky to chip in too! ;) [btw i still haven't met vicky.. hez been here in b'lore for a coupla months now! :(] ah.. this commentz longer than ur post, y'know! thank me.. thank me.. :D

Kuts : lightning from the 8th floor sounds cool!!
playing alone is but one chapter(albeit a very
nourishing one, i agree )playing in a group is next, and playing for fame and money is a much later one.

store for you. gimme some time, we'll jam up.
and oh yeah, thank you thank you :)

EnJay : does this mean you won't be our vocalist ?
:( :(
and the reason behind the deleted comments is that
the Dark side of me takes over once in a while and
posts stuff which the Light/Bright/White side of me has to clean up.
get in touch with my dark side at nobob@rediffmail.com !!
