17.01.2010 Sunday, 5.50pm A librarian writes to C'ba and Vicky, My darlings, This lonely dad this sunday takes to writing not knowing what to do. Dears when I slept lasty night i fixed the alarm at 7.00am but you know that, I got up before the alarm ri9ngs at about 6.00am. A huge and whole sunday infront of me. Listened to morning news, hjad a cup of tea using amulya, cleaned utensils and then rolled back under blanket for a nap again. It5 was 7.00am when i opened my eyes. I thought, yes it was time to wake up. At times it so happens that we are so busy in so many things small and big , important and unimportant.......hours roll down........at the end of the day you that feel that nothing substantial was done and it is already evening and the same thing happened today. Let me tell you what I did : immedfiately after waking up prepared a cup of tea and had it with parle G and read newspaper, had a morning walk, shampooved the hair and had a nice bath after shaving. and this is waht I did since morning. I wanted to finalise my Research Proposal, I wanted to conclude a book review.........nothing of this sort happened. I was so busy.....but in thinking., listening to BBC news., standing in the balcony seeing people go around on the road below. But let me tell you, it was a wonderful sunday today this day in Bhubaneswarl. You know at times you have to just flow with your thoughts........do things as they happen.....while away your time as per spontaneity of your thoughts.....dont put dead lines ....be yourself......listen to music......sleep.....and in between dream.........build castles in the air........ you know this kind of Sunday and holidaying is real break. This is the best way of brewaking the monotony and routines.......... As real rest to your mind happens this way. When I was reading....."Times of India (Open SPace - page 7.....i found a small write up by Nita Mehta of Jipur, she has nicel;y summed up the meaning and relevance of digital cleansing......a term mooted by John Mayer...... a musician, tweeter and an avid blogger. His new year resolution was to keep off all digital contraptions........wheich meant he would not email, would not get on to his social newtworks. W, would not blog and surf. This is termed as "digital cleanse"....... I dont know how relevant is this term suitable for the meaning that he is assigning to this new found word. John Mayers idea behind mooting this term is be health crazy, take rest.......unplug....come out and meet people. This really a good guide for th those who are addicted to computer like Vicky. Indeed it is worthy to be clinging to system from morning to evening.........we should be realistic, we should meet people, friends......play . Am I right Vicky? Computers and internet connect us to the world.......people all over the world instantly. What about those of us who are yet to be hooked up with hte net and ystems. and be at large with the people of the world in a relative sense. Bye for now and kids.....let me get back to you again on another sunday or holiday with another exercise of idling. Be happy......be smiling........be idle sometimes......it is good for health.......be smart. Say hi to your mummy...... your appa  Librarianship is a noble profession. 1816gbgv |
