The Blank moment

Have you guys ever experienced the blank moment ?

Blank moment : A terminology invented/discovered by PhenoMenon at about 7:34 IST , Oct 12 , 2009 . Its a time when the time vanishes .

Its 7:00 PM on a monday evening . You check google calendar , the to-do list . There are several things to be done , like buying books , studying the rapid spanning tree protocol , look for a job abroad , look for short film festivals , look for screenwriting courses ... ohh! there are many things to be done

My friend wants to use my PC - That makes 70% of the to-do activities in-valid.

I gotta get ready and leave to office at about 8:30

90 minutes . What shall i do in the next 90 minutes ?

It has to be productive . So ,take out the options of watching porn or TV

Read a book ? Ok , lets do that from 8-8.30

Now there is 60 minutes left . Now what ?

Look at me in the mirror . I am a good looking man , oh yeah . Who is that model in 'Indian Terrain' ? Diya told me that i look like him .

Whats that asoles name ? Its not Ranbir Kapoor . , something else

Rannbir Kapoor has got a beard these days , and he says he is not yet committed to Deepika and all that bullshit .

You know what , now that reminds me of doing something . I gotta shave

These days i always shave in the saloon . May be i should but a new trimmer .


There is about 50 minutes left .





"Sorry sir , romba busy a erukkaen , 30 mins appram vaanga sir " .



Go translate that , the only clue i can give is that it is tamil .


45 minutes ???


Let me stand on this corner of the road . There is a big cut-out of actor 'Jai' to the left of me .. and the 'cigerrate shop' to the right .

Cigarratte shop has a husband and wife . They have a son who is studying in 9th standard , but poor boy is bad in mathematics .

Why am i wasting my time thinking about them ?

Now what ? 35 minutes ?

There is nothing in my mind now . There is nothing i go to do now . My life is on a complete stand still .There are vehicles going on , there is a very bad looking woman walking past me , there is something and all . But i cannot think about anything ...

The Blank Moment .

Let me look up . Sky . Stars .

I dont believe this . There still exist Sky , and stars . Oh god .. I really did forget about them . I have never seen them for , what , lets say , 10 years ?

When was the last time you looked at a star?

There is not just one , there are plenty . Plenty of them . Man! This is amazing ., i feel so good . I mean , i just realised that i am a man , a human being , a animal , or some stupid biological creature .

I wanted to be an astonomer when i was a kid . I was in love with stars . I always wanted to discover a meteor .

How did i miss you all these years ??





People are staring at me . They saw a man staring at sky in the middle of the road.



I suddenly realised that its almost 7:55 now . Where did the time go? Oh god , where did it go ?





The Blank moment .


Trust me , its a amazing experience .

Wow... i really could not feel how you would have felt the blank moment.. but i loved reading it.. It was like a picture in my mind.. the shop.. Jai picture.. the husband and wife in the cigar shop.. the 9th std kid (weak in maths)... middle of the road.. a guy looking at the sky... etc etc... nice...

Thank you Raghav . But i am sure that these blank moments happen to everyone . Its like , you have no plans to do anything , you dont know what you are doing , and when it ends , you have no clue what you were doing

Difficult to explain ,but sweet to feel .

Ragav said...

I guess i am going through some phase similar to that in my life like that ;-)...
Lost in almost everything of my life... but just going on...
Have a nice day!

Well , when you think about it , its kinda interesting . To fail and then fight it out and everything .

Just makes you a better man

Ragav said...

Hmmmm... i quit my job which i was so passionate about.. i loved a guy but never had the guts to tell him.. so i have lost that as well... Feel so empty.. i like reading ur blog.. its kinda nice to read...
But still life has to go so i just go ahead... the blank moment made me think so much...

To fail and then fight it out and everything .
