Facebook note: At This Moment

Please forgive the rambling. I'm overdue for it.

[Warning: Convoluted, in(s)ane shit, incoming. Anjali, I doubt even you'd understand this one.]

There are times when I just stop and think -- what could be happening at this very moment? Are people dying? Sleeping? On FB? Getting stoned? (I know for a fact that people ARE getting stoned, like RIGHT NOW, and that makes me feel so so so lonely.) What could my friends be doing? What could people halfway around the world be doing? There are people who are laughing their lungs out, celebrating, silent, bored as hell, having the worst, most traumatic moment of their lives, realizing something.... realizing something!! Right this moment, someone in the world realized something!! It feels so weird thinking that... Someone might be thinking the same thing that I am right now...

At this moment... Someone might be writing a song, dancing, getting drenched in the rain, hacking, shooting, killing, raping, performing a surgery, crying for their dead mother, flying a kite, surfing channels, answering the doorbell, blowing out candles on a cake, writing an exam, writing the SAT (!!!!!), thinking about COLLEGE (I know a lot of people are doing that) getting tense for something, stealing something, racking their brains, following someone, getting mugged, solving a jigsaw puzzle, drowning, trying on a new shoe, or... getting married =)

Of course this note is pointless, stop reading it now and go look at your news feed. =]

But it feels nice to think that I took a moment to think about ALL the different sorts of things that people could be doing at this moment... because later in the day when someone tells me that they were doing X last night, I will have the opportunity to remain unfazed. Thats one thing that always bugs me. People can always surprise the hell out of me when they say I-did-this-or-that. So, tomorrow, they cant. =D Maybe I should try this ritual every night. Don't worry, that doesn't mean more notes of this kind on Facebook!

PS: Exploding an At-This-Moment thought bomb in your head provides even better results when you consider the entire galaxy (or even the entire universe) when you do it, and not just the earth. Try it!!
