Picture this, you are sleeping, suddenly you sit up straight, the track begins, your eyes open.
I woke up with a song playing in a my head. I am not talking about a distant hum, not the mumblings of a vocalist and not some faint guitar solo but loud and clear words backed up by fantastic music.
The experience was surreal. I could see and feel the world going about its work at its characteristic frenetic pace, but I was in suspended animation.
Later when I was thinking about the song and that moment I was instantaneously teleported to the entrance of a HUGE and completely empty amphitheatre. I was craning my neck to survey those colossal stands - I was utterly and completely AWESTRUCK. Bewildered at the size of those walls - peeling off but still menacingly strong, the seating - which was almost in the sky and the glow of the light that painted the whole setting. To add to the mystique and sheer bizarreness (it is a word !) I was dressed as a Roman ! I was as much a part of the picture as my Roman uniform, what the f*** was I doing there ?
I have been thinking a LOT lately about (here we go again) - “Life, the Universe and Everything”. This incident does absolutely nothing to prevent the ‘flights of thoughts’ from taking off the runway. Oddly enough, I am not complaining - this gives me more food for thought. Obviously I am going to post-rationalize (it is getting chronic now) and attempt to decode this and more.
While I alternate between that and EXAMS (AGAIN !) I would more than appreciate your take on aforementioned. Open season for interpretations.
If you would like to listen to the song, which I think you should follow the link - “The Chain”.
Since I have mentioned exams - I obviously have a multitude of books to read. Ironically, now that I seem to have hit some good quizzing form - I have to give up an overwhelmingly number of quizzes (Though some people would be happy about that and might like to add a ’serves you right’.)
So I shall take a vow now, I will and I repeat, will not allow ‘exams’ to interfere with my participation in any Extra Curricular Activity that might interest me inspite / alongside attempting to reach the pinnacle of learning and academic performance. However, I shall formulate my own function / procedure / algorithm / ‘choose your own computer programming terminology’ to achieve this and not emulate B.dot and others.
And now I shall take a bow.
Au revoir.
