Writing something when you have nothing to write is not that easy. I told you that. Today I have nothing to write but I want to publish a post. I can do this because something to write and something to publish are two entirely different things. Why can’t write anything today despite having time? Call it the blogger’s block. Complete lack of ideas. What I’m gonna do is to revisit and relink some of the earlier posts that I had published on this very blog. That’s easy isn’t it?

Remember typewriting & shorthand published on 15-Feb-09

Do you have those memories of the typewriting/shorthand institutes? Before the birth and death of computer institutes those were the centres of development of career and romance, not in that order. I loved shorthand but I just could not cut it in typewriting. Practice makes perfect. I’m sure it does. Otherwise, how can a typewriting institute drop-out like me can type a post in a few minutes?

Winner takes it all published on 23-Feb-09

It’s hard being a runner-up. You can say ‘winning or losing is not important but competing is’. If you say it as a winner, you’re gracious. If you say it as a loser, that might be seen as a poor excuse. Ask any loser, they’d know how important it is to win. As someone said, ‘winning is not everything, it is the only thing’. If so, spare a thought for the losers.

Critical thinking: Have we thought about our thinking? published on 02-Mar-09

Why is this blog titled as ‘critical thoughts’? What are critical thoughts? For the first week or so, I was calling this random opinions and then changed to the current title. ‘Random opinions’ was an apt title but it was sounding a bit ordinary. On the other hand, I thought ‘critical thoughts’ was just perfect and also sounds better as a title. But this post was all about the concept of critical thinking.

Playing to the gallery published on 20-Feb-09

The phrase ‘playing to the gallery’ is very commonly used in football. Sometimes you see footballers playing to please the crowd without any consideration to the situation of the game or the tactics advised by the coach. That’s when they are said to be ‘playing to the gallery’. But life is not a sport. It’s life and it’s yours. We don’t need to play to the gallery. How much we live our lives for ourselves? Or do we play to the gallery as well?

Are you game? published on 08-Mar-09

I love gaming. In fact, I’ve been a gamer for a very long time. Before I bought the computer and the xbox, I always played board games. With computers, I started playing the strategy games and some really good shooters. With xbox, it’s been football all the way. I last played a football game on xbox this morning and the next time I’d play would be tonight.

That’s it for today. I have a huge responsbility of informing all the bloggers I had tagged in the previous post. Cheers.
