About a conversation

A vacation of sorts at hand and no activity besides career focussing actions can get harmful on the whole activity scene.....i feel a bit at loss of inspiration. For the past week i have been on an OD of sleep and dreaming and this has brought on a new level of all consuming laziness... To shrug it off...i call my partner-in-crime and the torchbearer of our collective conscience...mr. AsexplainedbyaJunkie. We have spent an enormous amount of talktime on the cellularphones network of wherever...and nothing...nothing has ever come between these conversations....not even the network connectivity which only has taken a bow and a promise to bonded labour to AsexplainedbyaJunkie seeing his cellfone's unexpected lifespan (despite being subjected to abuse that can be best named - Holocaust). Nobody takes the blame. So here we were discussing the various aspects of our life that has shaped up rather drastically in the past two years....the events of strange flavors.... someday i will come to terms with the EVENTS and be bold enough to confront, contemplate and get them on written format.. there are certain words that exist in our COLLECTIVE CONSCIENCE...words that have amazing versatility...that we breakthrough our limited understanding of language...strange issues psychedelic..to name a few. Whenever we talk, it is imperative that we have a section to laud the greats, the legends in their own right....those who have walked the paths that many talk about and live to tell their tale.....we assume its our tale...its the tale of life..And some people...they dont tell anything at all... We talk about Bob Dylan. There is also Eric Clapton, Mark Knopfler. We have spoken about a physicist - Stephen Hawking...though my knowledge and understanding on this particular great personality is next to zilch...come to think of it..that is true for all those who are mentioned here..But one thing is for certain - They Know. They know about what we are talking about...what some junkies and poets and artists and rock bands and bloggers are referring to...they know exactly what is the point that everyone is hinting at....scratcing around...never hitting bullseye. Because the market demands that you never hit the spot...give some idea..but never hit the spot. Cos once you hit it...no one would ask for seconds. Coming back to Dylan... Our search for music started after we left college....we used to listen to someone's dreamworld...then our dreamworld...we listened to them all....the doors, pink floyd, led Zep, CCR, Grateful Dead, acdc, deep purple, iron maiden, metallica, ....the list is available on every most pages of Orkut. We never listened to ourselves...we tried...but we never got to hear the voices. Something somewhere was missing....there was a communication problem...probably a breakdown.. I tried hard to listen what I wanted to listen to...but never hit it right... After a series of events.....i finally could listen to myself. I was on the quest for music. No more was i troubled by something called EGO...but these events I believe were too large a ransom to pay for my aquired capability. I would like to thank AsExplainedByaJunkie at this moment....something that was long overdue. Something that I would write on my Will...'AsExplainedbyaJunkie, i would like to thank you for helping me go through it' Yes we have had many such conversations...lost in the rings of smoke...lost between the legs of Vicky Vette....but we were smart enough to carry the gist. One such versatile word that has come to bind all these conversations - basically - a word that explains the gist of our ideas...whatever limitations of language experienced within. Our Man, Mr Bob Dylan - the artist - is a collection of ideas ranging from spiritual guru to folk musician to pop aritist. But the man behind this image as many of us know is Robert Allen Zimmerman. Lets get this long name out of this. Mr Dylan - the artist - stands tall, to be a voice of a generation, a persona that is capable of being a Prophet etc etc...something that he himself has denounced..and has been successfully able to keep away from..though his songs achieve the same nature. But Mr Dylan - the person - is one of the best artists that this decade has seen. He is a master of words who has written a library of songs. Songs that have gained social importance...that have given voice to a group of people. But it is this person who stays firmly grounded and not fly away with his celeb status....he has seen the life of a pop star, of a pop star junkie, of a failed pop star, of a popstar with a comeback...he has seen it all in the field of glory of the 20th century. And he still doesnt complain. He just writes his songs...and great ones too....and there are a zillion people who are ready to worship him. .................thats all i understand of Mr Dylan. There is a lot to learn from him. He is one superstar of the media who has taken all the fame but comfortably avoids the price that one needs to pay for it.
