Am I also not making a horcrux? Preserving myself in bits and bytes of this fascinating digital world. But what if I am, there is no harm in trying to tether yourself to life even after you die.
Life ah life! Life has been pretty mundane of late because of the lack of tormenting deadlines; finally I have a vacation, which seems like a vacation, weekly reports and final 70 page submissions are blissfully absent. Before I digress into a rant, in nuanced detail, about reports and deadlines let me proceed. The schedule generally involves cooking and washing the limbs and other fixtures of the body, walking is something I indulge in solely to remind myself that I can still do it. Also I can sit and read for hours at end and I have used that time profitably to read the Harry Potter series yet again. I have said this before and shall say it again for proof of magic you have to go no further than the book itself - of how sometimes this inconsolable urge to inhabit that space, possesses you and overcomes you and you can do nothing except succumb to it. The film series obviously cannot do justice, because films have their premise in visuality and not imagination. I have bored people to death with insights on why Voldemort should still be alive, because the enchantment that keeps Harry alive should work the same way for Voldemort, he took the enchantment in him after all and they share a blood bond, Harry and Voldemort, both belonging to the Peverell bloodline.
My musings on Harry Potter aside I have been having excellent conversations. But I will continue that in the next post. For now all I can say that life comes a full circle when you find yourself blogging at 5 in the morning about insipid things. A friend said that if you are up at night night eventually becomes dawn. Philosophical and prophetic.
