As i sit with my writers cap ON(I know I have it on if I am staring blankly at Microsoft Word on my laptop) to write a small paragraph on a topic I still haven't thought off. My mind wanders, from political issues like "OBAMA vs. McCain" to issues as clichéd as "Blood on Wall Street ", from something close to my heart like "Those college days" or something close to my mind right now like "From where am I to get dinner tonight".
Still unable to decide I find out to my dismay that I am suffering from a dreaded disease more prevalent than AIDS, more malignant than CANCER, more pervasive than COMMON COLD. Ok that was a bit apocryphal. Anywayz it's called or will be called Acquired inefficiency to write syndrome or AIWS.Dictionary defines it or will define it "As a condition when people are willing to write but are unable to write because of the absence of any tangible ideas". A person suffering from this malady initially loses his ability to write or think and in extreme cases one may even lose his ability to coherenent speech. The sufferer only communicates thanks to the power of association i.e. by associating some part of a sentence to another sentence. For e.g. I love my mother. Mother - Mother is the wife of father. Wife- Wife is root of all problems. Problems-I face many problems. You get the point, I hope.
The virus attacks part of brain called as grey cells. No cure is presently available. The causes of this disease are
1. Body contact- Actually it’s no body contact with books and newspapers.
2. Transfusion- Again it’s no transfusion of knowledge among peers.
3. Uncontrollable desires: It’s for people who often live in the miasma of television.
I have often suffered from this disease as you can observe from the frequency of my posts here. Also the blank sheets I returned to the examiner in college are a testament to the same fact.As I get ready to remove my writers cap I pray in all humility that none of you ever suffer from this disease.
