True Start

Its like a track and field event where the the runners go off the block even before the gun is fired. Its called a false start and I have been encountering some of those with starting to write this blog. This must be my fifteenth attempt to start and boy will I be glad once this is done! I have been an only child and owing to this solitude - I have had incredible moments with myself! Since I had no siblings and it wasn't always easy to speak your mind all the time - I would spend countless hours thinking and rethinking things - sometimes grave, serious and contemplative and at others funny,breezy and flirty . But think I did, and i thunk so hard that often it was impossible to stop - like a centrifuge - that cannot stop even when the power is switched off. You need brakes to bring the centrifuge to a halt - I wonder what brakes can be used to stop thoughts?

The lights are out, the cieling fan at full speed, the idiotbox has called it a night, eyes are closed - but the thoughts continue to flow, like a bubbly brook by the mountainside! I can imagine myself trying to place little boulders in the stream to contain the flow, the thoughts just flow around them. So then it figures - that the next best thing to do is channelise them! Easier said than done but here I am doing just that or at least attempting to. Besides life in general - I love to talk on food, dining, restaurants and such and I hope you find these thoughts interesting and stimulating. This is one brook that won't run dry!
