Pure Ramblings

It's raining outside..no surprise there seeing it is London. Cloudy grey skies..I'm becoming accoustomed to it. My problem with you thu is i don't know who reads you so often i do not know what to tell u. But seeing that this is a documentation of me, i will freely write whatever i feel needs to be said. For the bigger part, it will be what i need to say for me to hear and acknowledge. Yes, after more than two years of blogging, i think this is what it became.

I am happy this is more or less detached from facebook to create a seperate space for expression-an "audience-less" space for me to throw my thoughts around, and jump in between them. For this is exactly what i need right.

i have a serious problem. I cannot write! And i have too many papers to think about that i need to write well but..i cannot write. Either i do not know how to express myself, or i have nothing to express. I do not know which is worse. Not having a message or not knowing how to get it across?

in all cases, i decided, i will write more here and to myself in general to practice letting out what i'm thinking because i believe that this is really necessary for me at the moment because i need to identify the problem, break it down and figure out how can i work around it. This is me working around another problem.

What am i going to write about? Now, i am not so sure. Should i talk to you about how i'm feeling these days? i think not cause u get too much of that already. The US elections? i could just refer you to the ft or the ecnomist for that matter yeah? About the book i'm reading-hmm, i could tell you something about that: it's Easterly's "A white man's burden" on the ineffectiveness of foreign aid. it is quite insightful on how countries have the ability to raise themselves out of poverty and aid can be disruptive to that ability..quite intriguing i must say. But tonight, i will read Jane Austin "Emma"...in a lame search for inspiration. I have another critical problem..i never finish books, getting stuck in the middle just gives me a reason to move onto the next one!

Okay, seeing that i need to go back to studying. If there is an issue i see worth contemplating with you, it is : rising food prices vs. excessive consumerism. How did the capital economy fall into such excessively consuming life-style patterns?! And now with exceptionally high growth rates, commodity prices are not going down anytime soon which is bad news for the masses who are protesting everywhere in the world and the silent many who are too hungry to stand up and speak. I am one of them heavily consuming, and i am among those to blame for being irresposible. At this stage, i do not know where convergence can be remotly visible from where we are.




you know..pure ramblings do make me smile
