A Collage or graffiti of stray thoughts


A painting can depict a state of mind. Cant words depict the states of mind?
How do you define mind? I don’t know. Has it got something to do with your thoughts?
Why does your writing always have to be disciplined to form a structure. A stray thought can be penned so why not pen thoughts correlated or uncorrelated.
A work of art portrays the mood of the artist. I want to be an artist, create something may be a collage of thought.
The happiness and satisfaction of creating something is very satiating. Did I use the right word? Well I wanted to use something related satisfying but may be satiating is stuck somewhere very close to it in my memory.
I wonder if the brain works like a RAM. Actually if we knew how we store thoughts we would be able to compress data so efficiently. But we tend to forget things so data retrieval technique of the brain is not the best technique.
Does this forgetfulness bring randomness in my actions and thoughts? Like I did with satiate and satisfy?
Can we explain our actions and feelings from our thoughts? More importantly feelings.
Or does randomness just makes us more human? May be it does. May be things were meant to be with a little randomness. I recall Huygen’s Uncertainty principle here.
A thought also passes my mind whether anyone who reads this will be able to make sense of any of this? Thats why structured writing is important. But hey this is my graffiti. Believe it or not this is art.
Coming back to randomness. Maybe our attempt at making things deterministic is wrong. May be the whole philosophy that everyting perceptible is just maya, is right. May be the world is indeed a sandbox which we can mould as we want.
Imagine the day we start believing this how different the world would be!

And a passing thought tells me herein lies the fallacy of my assumption that a graffiti of thought can be modeled to an art form. But to convey something specific you have to be disciplined.
So does it mean a thing of beauty is anything that is disciplined? What about the good old saying, beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder?

………………………………………………. :)

I do realize this can turn into an epic with no end. So I will stop now.
How much sense do we make out of something sensible and how much sense can we make out of something seemingly senseless? Many a times an endeavor to make sense of senseless is more interesting and rewarding than comprehending the sensible.

  1. mind and brain are two different things
    this is not art :p
    forgetting things; is it really a data retreival technique or a seg fault or it was in the cache and never got written into the main memory, and then the cache got overwritten?
    also if u try n define most of the things here ul end up in circular definitions. try defining know..
    nothing is really random , i think we cant find a pattern tats all..too complex to form one
    i dont think there is maya , its just tat we cant define it deterministically so we give it another word
    and now i feel like wenjing going through a review :p

  2. Amita am very sure you wrote this after attending 569. :P. lolz.

    My attempt here was to sniff thought flow and write it down so that I can read how much sense I make of my thoughts that may be random or structured. Focus on random more so; as thoughts in our mind are notorious for being random.

  4. Pawan I completely agree with you...i still remember the 8'o clock timepass...but the attempt was really good...though it became a little fuzzy for me...till the end i couldnt get wht was goin on between mind, art and the randomness of thoughts..
