This is the first time I am sitting here without a clear topic to write about. Strange? Yes, it certainly is. Usually I would have so many topics, so spoilt for choice that forces me to prioritize and shortlist for the right one, but now I have none! I am still trying to figure out why my mind is blank. It isn’t that there are no events or people to write about but I guess everything seems important (or unimportant) to be considered worthy to write on. Even then I do not know what really is happening to my mind.
I went for a second eye operation to remove my cataract that grew overnight as a result of my first operation and that perhaps put me through a spin as I least expected that I had to do two eye operations within a month.
So I am just putting my finger on the keyboard to feel myself more and hopefully I get to feel my inside for something that is of substance for my readers to read about.
Well, what has emerged from the blank screen in my mind right now is to ask you whether you have a time or times in your life where you are absolutely clueless, be it on what to write, what to eat, what to do and so forth? In reality, do you actually know what happened?
In my case it is definitely not that the last 2 months had been uneventful; in fact it had been very much filled up to the brim. Recovering, resting, thinking and working – all at the same time is a lot of things to do. I guess when there is a ‘hemorrhage’ of events rushing into your life, it actually gets your mind blank like in my case!
I remember a time in school when the science teacher suddenly asked me in front of the class, “What is the difference between virus and germs”? My mind went blank, and in the shock (and ignorance), I answered, ‘spelling difference’! He was shocked and angry that led him to expel me from the class for a month!
For certain I am not doing anything writing away without a clear topic. But even with that I just realized that I have written more than half the page! Not bad, eh! So if there is a will, there is a way.
Hurray! Still without a clear topic at hand, I leave you now to share your experience with all of us about a time in your life when things simply went blank!
