I was studying history. The fact isn't really relevant but i thought i would mention it anyway. The point is, i was studying history and was in an absolutely wonderful mood. My subconscious mind registered that a truck had pulled up in front of our building. It was full of stones, there's a building under construction right in front of ours. The men opened the latch that held the stones in the back of the track. The stones rushed out with that characteristic gravely sound, the delightful sound of flowing stone. The intensity of the sound decreased progressively till it was just a trickle, the trickle of a few rocks rolling out of the floor, almost reluctantly. And then, the sound of silence. How long did it last? 5 seconds? 7 seconds? It sounded uniquely refreshing. And it changed my mood.
Time cools, time clarifies; no mood can be maintained quite unaltered through the course of hours.--Mark twain.

You're nuts!!
Are you sure you know what boka-boka means? your blog teaches me so much. In fact, it teaches me another reason for blogging! This IS great.Reminds me of the time I first saw the reflection of concrete buildings on the rippled face of the ganga and came to appreciate the beauty of concrete for the first time.
Oh sorry for posting "first time" twice!
um, well i didnt think it was too chalak-chalak either! :-)
Well, ur producing too many masterpieces!...
U have opened up a new genre of blog-writing within us. Its "short-blog-writing". U should be given some award. But you'll have to with our appreciation for the time-being.
I am just writing what i feel like at the moment, i am not trying to write anything good/smart/humourous. Nah, these ain't masterpieces, man you are using the word too cavalierly! its just a rhapsody of a confused mind! Btw, i am warning you, i am getting a ridiculously inflated/swollen head!
