H'm. Just to, eh, break the awkward silence that seems to have broken.
This semester seems to be so much more Grown-Up in a boring kind of way, so far! We're doing very grown-up stuff, particularly in CommE. Particularly compared to last year, when we could do practically anything we wanted in the writing sections, and be bizarre and all. :P
NOT that I'm saying we're going to be stiff-necked this year on, or something. (For example, I had a ball in the "Cover Letter" today, throwing in random pomposities). Its just that I miss the fun of first year, where everyone smiled indulgently at us and accepted with a laugh several eccentricities and more.
Anyway, as is obvious, I clearly have nothing much to say here. Except that I see that I've rambled on for quite a while. (Which, I have to say, I wouldn't find it in me to do in person).
Which brings me to something I've been noticing for a while. At least since I've started writing regularly, that is: the existence of the NehaOnPaper. As distinct from the NehaInPerson. Which is to say that I'm very different when I'm at a blank screen with a keyboard at hand (or a blank paper with pencil at hand) from what I'm like in person. I don't know what precisely, but I'm hazarding a guess it has something to do with a certain connotation of space blank screens and paper give me.
So tell me about you. Are you different at all on paper from what you're like in person? How? Which do you like better?

Well,which do I like better? MeOnPaper definately!I think it's more to do with the fact that when I'm writing I'm automatically forced to think a moment before writing it down,which may not be the case with MeInPerson which is more spontaneous.A momentary analysis better than spontaneous reflex?I think so.
who?
i didn't need the reference!
and yes luthien is also called tinuviel...but beren is who?
ok, um.
i didn't have that great a clarity of remembrance, but well.
Sometimes you might find that spontaneity garners ideas that just wouldn't come to you even with long hours of introspection...precisely what Anindita said..absolutely brilliant fleeting thoughts are hard to capture.
oh sorry..that was aditi
