Diarizing...

Left.. center.. right... center.. left.. center.. and repeat..

My boss says it isn't necessarily always physical stress that causes this kind of pain. He hinted that I maybe mentally stressed..

I told him I don't always realize it when I'm mentally stressed..

Effects of physical stress are easy to recognize.. I usually end up getting a new scratch on my car...

The gift of poetically representing the abstract is one I was born without.. well I'm sure no one's born with it... so its one that I never mastered...

I'm good at exactly the opposite.. once I understand something I can explain it tersely yet completely to someone who doesn't get it yet...

But.. on the other hand.. its been more than once that I have been accused of being a sophist..

I started to read Interpreter of Maladies.. short stories.. I didn't mind them at all...
After the first one I knew what to expect from the rest so I wasn't disappointed when nothing very significant happens in them...

I almost felt like I could write like her.. all I need is one incident.. or one dialog.. and then I have to sketch in the utmost boring familiar recognizable detail the events that lead up to it.. Basically pen down every insignificant link in the chain of thoughts that crosses the character's mind...

It shouldn't be difficult, maybe I should suggest this to Dad..
