My left toe

Resolution made to self notwithstanding, I am yet to write even one vowel today of the 1000-word daily target. So, in the meanwhile, let me quickly tell you about my left toe while the writer's block gets bored and scrams...

MY LEFT TOE

My left toe is situated on my left leg. It is like any other left toe.

hi madhavan, interesting observation. If the writer's block holds we will probably be reading about your fingers next.

My fingers are situated in my hand. They are like any other fingers.

you didn't specify which left toe. and yes, as you rightly assumed, i am yet another procrastinator. the eumenides can be appeased you know...all you need is to deify them.

dear anonymous fellow procrastinator:

my mistake. it's the biggest one at the extreme right of all the left toes. the biggest and the most ugliest of them all.
and like hell the Eumenides Erinyes Three-Furies can be appeased. not these ones on my tail...millions deifyings daily mornings notwithstanding.
say, you wouldn't be one of them, would ya. (see how far i am gone)...

and if you are who i think you are, send me some kind words once in a while. And if you are not, then here's to the beginning of one more anonymous pallying

Hi Mukta:
Thanks. You're not so bad either. And now that you are here shall we begin the small chat...how did you find the way...didn't mistake the last 0 for 1, did ya...Did I ever tell you about the time when three pimples came together to ambush my cheek...i was all of 17 then and had a natural French beard though I got the lowest in the subject ... Chiffonesque... Mukta...you there...MUKTA... MUKTAAA...?? (shake of head) (more shakes of head) I forgive you

Hi Ravali:
Who do you think I am? Agony uncle...
Usually, I solve writer's block by pacing up and down muttering to myself about sundry fantasy scenarios like me jumping down from a bridge and shooting Amrish Puri in the heart whilst in transit, all the while looking at Aishwarya Rai who's to the villain's left all dolled up and smiling winking smiling winking at her. After all such fantasies have expired, I go and sit down before the computer and stare at it for one hour and it stares right back at me and so we are thus stationed in time and space like even lovers arent. Finally, I key in one word and the rest follows by itself from my left cerebellum or some other such place with them nasty names
