This being the second day of our blog, I wanted to write something!.
The thing which I feared happened…I didn’t seem to have “Captivating idea or caption” in other words no creative ideas.
The issue was I was searching for something different to write while the reality is the most common things are the least written about and can be quiet interesting.
(Inspiration “The Broom” by Aqua- our friend” – guess it is the style of writing rather than the topic itself!!!)
Hence here I set to write one of the most common things that happens with me –“Forgetting”
The day I read Robert Lynd’s Forgetting, I was so very happy, here I see a great essayist having the same problem as mine!.Untill then it was an agonizing mystery to me “Why I alone Forget the things which I don’t want to forget”. My list of forgetting ranges from
Umbrella’s to Cell phones- Any thing that I carry in bus including hand purses
Bank details to boiling milk on the stove
Homeworks to Happy birthdays
And while I had been still writing I forgot where kept my bus pass..ahhhh
What do I do :( :(

hahha...good one, Viji..and thnx for referencing the 'Broom':):) The most common topics can actually make interesting writing. You seem to have caught it with 'Forgetting'..looking forward to more such writing from you:)
This is really hilarious...I still rem how much poor gal had to struggle when once I asked her account number [:D]...Keep writing!
I remember reading Forgeting by Robert Lynd in School - its ironical that I forget the contents - where can I get the text of "Forgetting" by Lynd !?
i think forgetfulness makes a man happy
If there is no forgetting, no one can be happy because Negativeness is stronger then positiveness.
