Stranger Than Fiction....

Funny I should start my blog with the title of a Will Farell movie. What is funnier, is that I am blogging in the first place. I have always maintained I dont believe in the concept (partly because I am against any fad that turns into mass hysteria). But then again I have never been known to stick to my stance for too long. So here I am penning down empty thoughts at 1 AM on a Tuesday morning.

So, coming back to the movie which has inspired the title of this post, as is common with most inspired people, i strangely felt inclined to react to this specific movie by encouraging myself to write. Mind you - not about anything in particular (you see I am not a big fan of conventions) - just write. Part of the exercise is to not make any apparent sense. Hints to an overarching theme is just the effect of a bit of jugglery with not-so-carefully chosen words.

Pardon me, but if I am not wrong, I havent made a single point yet. But those of you, who have had the stomach to read till this point - congratulations and a boulful of oxygen to you (why i chose this concoction as a reward for your psychological gumption may or may not be revealed in the lines to follow).

Now that I have your completely divided attention, let me try and get to the interesting part of this post. What began as a movie review at the conceptual stage, has turned into half-witted musings of an unstable mind. But I assure you, future posts, should you choose to read them, shall be a trifle more enlightening if not a whole lot more entertaining. You see in some ways, like the author "Karen Eiffel" in the movie, I too am in a writer's block, one that I have been in all my life. To pull myself out of this quagmire of self consuming yet totally unproductive verbal nightmare that my educated life has become, I have forced myself to take to the keyboard to try and come up with unique ways to show everyone exactly how abnormal I am.

I guess by now most of you would have drawn conclusions regarding my personality (not that I actually claim to possess one). For those of you who wonder if I can make sense wait for my next post.

P.S: The above passage is my humble dedication to the movement that is Arbit ;)
