True Ramblings 3 (?)

I forgot about Selfistan for a while - quite sad eh? But that's the truth. Perhaps it was because I hadn't written much for the past few months (lack of inspiration), or perhaps because I was so busy that I felt sleep was much more important (given my many late-night posts, I doubt it though). Whatever the case, I'm not going to make any excuses - because I hate them. I honestly do...Especially those that - ahh forget it.

What's this post about? Well, I don't know - but I hope we'll find out by the time I'm done. Although, if this post is long enough, I doubt I'll mind if it has no coherent thesis or statement or topic for that matter. Unlike the GRE essay question markers, I really don't care. That's a topic I've been examing for a while now - caring. Not in the 'aww I love you sense', but in that other one, related to caring about what people think about you. I think, actually no, I know that I've gotten to a stage where I don't give a bloody damn about what people think about me. Not completely sure whether that's a good thing or not - perhaps it's a mark of overconfidence, perhaps of a realization that what people say about me is not going to change who I am, or perhaps it's a mark of complete folly and naivete (darn - no accent marks). Whatever the case (can you tell I like that form of sentence structure?), I don't care anymore. Think what you may oh fellow human, I'm not changing who I am, how I speak, and what I do for you (caveat alert - unless you're someone I highly respect).

Anyway - I'm in the midst of watching some fantastic SaReGaMaPa videos on YouTube (one of my favourite things in the world). I'm listening to some classical Indian stuff (under-respected like Western classical if you ask me) and these kids - seriously 10-15 year olds - are absolutely fantastic. Listen to this kid - Rohit Shyam - here. Sigh - I wish I could sing like him. And like Aamir Haafiz - who sang this absolutely amazingly wonderful Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan-saab song.

Okies - well I'm going to stop this rambling and concentrate on my listening. Enjoy and remember the phrase...

and i just realized I don't have a label for music. Oh wait - there, I found it....
