Nothing

Yeah!! That's right! Today's post is something about nothing. True, there is no compulsion, however, for an amateur who has just installed himself in this realm of BLOGGING, it would be injustice to permit him taking a break from his lately found pastime.

It was just another of those days in the campus. Nothing really interesting to do. The next paper, Data Structures And Algorithms is on the 29th. I have another day for that, so that makes me jobless today. It is against the engineering ethics to hit the books before 12:00am, considering that the tests commence only at 9:30am. Being a disciplined devout of the engineering cult, boredom had begun to stare at me, of course with its hungry watery mouth, waiting for a chance to pounce on the poor me. I waited for the bill from the parliament of the cosmos to issue orders for some alternative, to save me from the glutton. My faith in destiny did not disappoint me this time, which of course is something that is really very rare.

After the Signals And Systems test and the brainstorming about the Bird and the Egg, I could find nothing to write about. That's when I realized that I could write about nothing. Well, the success of this post would be a slap in the face of all those mortals who have the preconceived notion that one can write nothing about nothing.

In reality, one does not need anything to write about nothing, for it is such a trivial concept that anyone can churn out words to describe and glorify nothing, yet explain hardly anything. I believe that this is an experiment, rather a challenge, which I must proudly say, only a jobless, bored and uninteresting engineering student, who has to appear for an exam a day later, can dare. And voila! Here is hotICE at your service!!

Life in some of the esteemed engineering institutes, credible for being the machinery producing the finest techies of the nation, is such, that creativity simply feels lazy to wake from the deep sleep it fell into the very night the to-be-engineer got his call letter. No doubt, he writes everything in a day, from dull lecture notes to laboratory records. Be it a lousy C/C++ program or a boring project report, or perhaps the semester tests or the arrears, he is writing something which he believes would get him firmly placed in the greener pastures awaiting him! How (engineeringly) romantic! Seldom does he realize that he needs to take break sometime and try, for a change, write nothing, or maybe, as in my case, write about nothing.

That brought this bored wannabe, groping in the darkness of creativity, to The Melting Pot of ICE . By now, the reader who opened the lid, must have realized that there is nothing in this post. Isn't Nothing better than something?
