"It is awfully hard work doing nothing. However, I don't mind hard work where there is no definite object of any kind. -Algernon" — Oscar Wilde (The Importance of Being Earnest and Other Plays)
For any normal follower of this blog ( which we are sure there aren't too many :| ), it would be very normal to expect a post on Oscar Wilde, but at times one must keep in mind that we are not dealing with too many 'normal' people out here.
Oscar Wilde, had he been alive or if his soul is still 'looking down' upon us today, would want to embrace each one of us in EARNEST ecstasy, for in us he would find the reflection of countless Lord Henry-s and Algernon-s (and would throttle the one updating this blog for trying hard to be witty or humorous and failing extensively).
Perhaps we had chosen a date and time too obscure for people ( it was noon-time and it's real hard work for us lazy people to fight the impending sleep that slowly and steadily creeps into our eyes and tempts us towards a world of dreams - for Wilde himself says:
"The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it."
See Mr. Wilde, not only do we read you, we live you in our every breath.)
And therefore the discussions strayed from one topic to another- from how sunny the day was to what we watch on tv these days. And we discussed DEXTER, not the one with a lab. We discussed Dexter Morgan, we discussed the amazing story-board, we discussed the direction, the techniques used, and how cool it is of him to aesthetically murder his victims. And we discussed his hot girlfriends.
The session did not end up boring because a group of insane people always manage to fashion out one kind of insanity or the other. And in a way, we did extreme hard work. We did 'Nothing'.
So much for Oscar Wilde. Here's to living ahead of our times and to randomness, for "Consistency is the last refuge of the unimaginative." Cheers! :)
