Quick Question

How good an idea is it to have one blog with posts like these, these and these? Just curious.

Muse Quiz (Diwaan-i-aam)

This Thursday (9/9) I conducted a quiz to introduce Muse, a the society for readers, writers and lovers of words. The quiz was conducted as part of the event "Diwaan-i-aam", an event (which rocked) intended to showcase the fun activities of the Literary Society, in the open.

The quiz questions are here and here. Check them out—they're fun!

Open to New Themes

Hola, people! Just wanted y'all to know that I'd be happy to receive suggestions for a new theme for both this blog and this blog. No plans to change the themes right now, but still open to new and fresh ideas.

Random Thoughts 1

- This is a blog post writing which I have no agenda—no idea what it's going to be about. I'm watching Love Happens simultaneously. It's a bad habit of mine: any movies I watch outside a cinema hall, never get singular attention. In fact mostly I have a plan of what I intend to do while I watch the movie. (During the last one I made a personal dictionary of roots, prefixes and suffixes.) Actually, is it a bad habit after all? I really don't know, and in fact prefer not to judge now.

- It just struck me that it doesn't not make sense to have a random post without planning. I've seen this on another blog actually—a "Random Thoughts" post. Guess I can give that a try too. Should work, considering I keep having weird thoughts that might appreciate a wider audience. By the way, how do I define a blog post that "works"? Hmm...

- Which reminds me that I have to cut down on the number of blogs I follow, because it's becoming an information overload. Blog post on that soon, when I'm about done, perhaps.

- This is a strange feeling... The only time I write like this is for my personal diary, and that too only sometimes, when I feel unable to do a writing exercise.

- I'm actually rolling my eyes at the screen right now.

- Very hard to fight the pressing urge to go back and edit what I've been typing. I won't; I won't; I WON'T. (Is that usage of the semicolon correct? Either way, is it the best way to punctuate that sentence?)

- Now that I've made it this embarrassing, perhaps I'll just throw this away and never publish it. But then again, I will. People have to stretch out and reach out of the comfortable cocoon of the familiar. It's a part of growing.

- Coffee and chocolate. Two great foods that are even better with a tinge of bitterness—only literally bitter, taste-wise. Dark chocolate; 70% is the industry standard? Low-sugar, high-caffeine coffee. Yum. :)

On Relaxation

I vehemently agree with the idea that relaxation is not a waste of time but a way to recharge for another spell of peak performance. It's very important to work hard, and then give yourself a break, before you're back. Recreation is re-creation within us of the mechanism that helps us focus and work towards getting where we have to.
What I try to do when I start working (studying) again is to tell myself: "Okay, you've had your time to relax and unwind. Now it's time to get back and focus hard."

Your thoughts?
