~A , after all things that didn't break you made you...

The wai......t for that moment of inspiration..

So it's 3:42 am , Friday morning.Why did I stay awake so late ?Waiting for a moment of inspiration.Yea there are days like that when you just can't go to sleep like just another day.What did I do ? "The gun in Betty Lou's handbag".That's the first name that popped up in my insomniac mind.Believe me I am not a gun nut or something.But it just popped up in my head.Maybe this is what happens when there are no more movies to watch anymore and you try to find that random movie you watched like eons ago.Life does come a full circle.I searched and searched on the world wide web.A binary search , a quicksort , a bubblesort ...naah..I am just trying to show off the algorithms i learned in school.All I did was a random search on my favorite search engine- Google !And no results.No free online print.However I did see another name which caught my fancy - "Julie & Julia".I had been meaning to watch that for sometime now but never happened.And since M.Streep and Amy Adams starred in it , it was immediately an iLike(too much Facebook does this to you !!).And as the movie progressed i realized that I knew Julie Powell already.She was in my blog about 3 years back.Even though the movie was about her love for Julia Child and her Cordon Bleu cooking , I loved the fact that Julie had the commitment to actually go through it for a year and jot down her experiences.Kudos to that !!
I love writing , yet I hardly come back to my blog often to write something interesting.Julie I admire you for the work you have done.You are my blog idol.You are the first on my blogroll list.
But coming back to the point where I began.Looking for an inspiration.The gun in Betty Lou's handbag & Julie and Julia has something in common.You do what you didn't expect.You pleasantly surprise yourself.You break the shackles of the regular.And maybe that's what I was looking for.I found my inspiration and its 4:00 am.I gotta go to work early , submit an assignment , do laundry and grocery and blah..blah..blah..
I hope I am not too tired to turn my inspiration into something worthwhile(most of the time I am).

~A,inspired ..just that the time is wrong...
