Resolution
My new Year resolution was/is to be open and affectionate.
Open.
Affectionate.
If you have known me in the past, you will believe I’m NOT these two things. I have always been secretive (horribly so) and my affection/love is reserved to two people in the entire world (not counting babies).
So this year, I have decided to be things I haven’t been in the last 21 years.
I have nothing more to say.
funny… mine was the other way ’round.
btw, did you delete a previous post about placements? I read it, and when I wanted to comment, it wasnt there!
chill girl… ho jaayega.

Words which mean different things to different people include:
nice
open
affectionate
Trying to be one of these as a new year resolution is a perfect example of an exercise in futility. Unless it is to give the impression of mending bridges with people you still dont like. Defining your resolution in terms which are at best qualitative destroys the meaning of a resolution. Since you can always argue that you have been more open or more affectionate. Others can say you have been less. That is not a resolution.
But maybe you really wish to change the way you behave. I hope the post was written in that spirit. If it wasn’t, well, no big deal. We do have quite a bit of hypocrisy around.

On second thought, yeah, ‘wayside muse’ sounds a little suspect.

Straight off the encarta dictionary:
muse
1. Somebody who inspires an artist: somebody who is a source of inspiration for an artist, especially a poet
2. Artist’s inspiration: the inspiration that supposedly visits, leaves, and suggests things to an artist, especially a poet
Pray, where does it say a muse has to be a ‘non-dude’?
What a bunch of sexists. ;)

mr/ms muse, (while a muse doesn’t have to be a non-dude, there’s no implication from your comment that you’re a dude.. so we’ll let the ambiguity be for the time being),
shouldn’t it be “visits, suggests things to an artist, especially a poet, and leaves”?
reminds me of “eats leaves and shoots”, if you know what i’m talking about.

@arjun:
if you were correcting me… i said leaves and shoots instead of shoots and leaves to illustrate the error in ordering in the encarta definition of muse.
and if the Muse didn’t know what I was talking about (naaah… just an excuse to show off what i know):
A panda walks into a café. He orders a sandwich, eats it, then draws a gun and proceeds to fire it at the other patrons.
“Why?” asks the confused, surviving waiter amidst the carnage, as the panda makes towards the exit. The panda produces a badly punctuated wildlife manual and tosses it over his shoulder.
“Well, I’m a panda,” he says at the door. “Look it up.”
The waiter turns to the relevant entry in the manual and, sure enough, finds an explanation. “Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves.”
Lynn Truss wrote a book called “Eats, Shoots and Leaves – The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation”.

@Muse: I call both women and men dude. So you are dude to us. You may correct me on this but I don’t care. Yes, I am trying to change.
@Arjun: You nerd.
@Priya: Have you met Arjun?
@Sandeep: You stayed in the library to escape sports. Enough said.
@KD: Apparently they do.
