The Nested Mind: Introducing the Inner Mind....

Being a student of a post graduate course in computer science at a research institute that believes that students' burnouts are more acceptable than students' underperformance, I am no stranger to working the Graveyard Shift. Often, entire days go by without any proper sleep. You are bent upon pushing yourself even further, as you don't have a choice. You have a major problem that needs to be solved and converted into program code and so need your mind to be coherent, responsive and most importantly, obedient, but no. It blandly refuses. It doesn't stop there: it spawns a mind of its own, one that it can transfer full control to, one over which you have no control, whatsover. If you try to force your mind to cooperate, its mind kicks in and feeds your mind with gibberish, data that causes all your other thought processes to collapse into a heap, much like how a virus infected machine goes down . Solution? Work out a compromise formula. This blog is an attempt at that. This is the release vent for my mind's mind. For it to do whatever it pleases, be it writing poetry, critisizing art, discussing philosophy or just raving, ranting, cribbing, griping, cursing and moaning. Whatever it wants. As long as it leaves my mind alone.
Im keeping my fingers crossed, and now, over to the Inner Mind.....
