This incomplete state

...Huh?

There are these states of incompleteness. Let me explain...you know..like an unfinished/unsent email(sitting in the drafts folder) or unread email pileup in the inbox or unopened postal mail or unfinished posts/drafts sitting in the blog...ya those items that haven't completed their destined cycle.

Those bother me. Whenever Seren visits me and logs into my laptop/PC with her credentials, I get a peek into her inbox. And instinctively I feel like cleaning it up for her. When I see a popup that says Inbox(1029) the obsessive-compulsive personality in me kicks into overdrive. When I have to login to Amma's email account, I clean it up for her- without fail.

And thus there are two drafts in blogger right now...not ONE..TWO of them. I decided I'd write a post on that and include these incomplete posts. At least this way, I have provided them a channel to complete their cycle. Very rarely do I start something and lose my train of thought. To me, a post languishing in drafts, it means I haven't given it my full. And that would cause me many sleepless nights(sigh!). So for what they were worth, here they go.

Statutory disclaimer : Please don't be asking me where I was headed with either one of them. Actually the first one is pretty obvious, the second...hmmm I really can't tell. I suppose I was recording a dialogue between the mind and the body. Surreal, huh?

1. Titled 'Guess who's coming to dinner?'
Some time ago, after reading some online reviews, I decided to sign up for Plinky. You know, for those times when you're at a loss for topics to write about. I signed up for a weekly digest of prompts to be delivered to my inbox which I promptly delete right after- because I usually already have fodder to write about and/or I am just not in the mood to write to begin with.

But these have been prompt(pun intended) and have been at it without complaint.

Just this morning I received a batch right at that crossroad where I was beginning to wonder about what to write. This one caught my eye and I figured I'd give it a shot.

If you could invite any three people in history to a dinner party, who would you pick?

Hmmm, here's my guest list then.

Daphne Du Maurier , the author and playwright. She intrigues me, she must had an interesting life and/or a very fertile imagination. Either way, she'll have tales to tell at the dinner table.

2. Titled 'In the calm of dawn'
5:30am : My body alarm went off and I was up. I am one of those that can't be in bed if the senses are fully awake. Its like an on-off switch, no idling in neutral. Usually within the next 15 mins or so, I am out in the trail for a good jog/walk and then back home to get ready to head to work. But this am, before the body could get to its schedule, the mind had decided to play a game(the coffee must've played tricks).

Mind - 'Do you really need to get out there this morning? Why can't today be a slack day? You know, just lounge in the sofa and finish the book?'

Body - 'Hmmmm'(its a 'thing' of few words, apparently)

Mind - 'Its alright dude, seriously. How does it matter if you didn't follow the schedule for one day?'

Body - 'Yes, there's gym class in the evening regardless'

Mind - 'Exactly!
