A Blank Day

A blank day. The best I would call this 23rd of August 2012! A day when my mind decided to remain a complete blank, despite me coaxing it to show some signs of efficiency. A lazy day, where despite having work at hand, the mind refused to cooperate!! It refused to help me in my writing work and it refused to help as I tried doing housework. Even watering plants seemed a difficult task at hand (something akin to climbing Mt. Everest).I simply felt like lying down and go on looking at the fields in front of my house, not a particularly clean or a beautiful place to keep on gazing, nevertheless that was exactly what my mind preferred doing the whole day. And it did not help matters that my doctor cum nutritionist had given me only boiled beans to eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner (maybe that is why my mind went a complete blank). Eating boiled beans for one meal is bad enough, but eating them for three consecutive meals calls for serious introspection. It makes one wonder what life is all about, and it also makes one want to eat only  food that has been strictly marked as a no-no by the doctor! Now as evening is finally setting in, my mind has finally awoken from its state of stupor and is thinking of various possibilities of a good dinner (no boiled beans, even if it damns my soul!). Maybe a plate of delicious tandoori chicken will cure this mind of its blankness , and bring it back to where it will no longer need to stare vacantly out of the window and sigh at the nothingness there....
