TAO - Doing NOTHING!

The Art Of doing nothing - Just this stuff, then i will log off the computer. Just this chapter, then I will close the book. Just the preparation for dinner, then I will do nothing. Oh! Doing nothing is not at all easy, with my ring-master mind that keeps adding items to my to-do list.

What is TAO?

TAO - The dangling conversation

The Art Of replying to a conversation(mail or message) only to realize later that you only framed the response in mind and not in writing! I do it all the time, Weird!

What is TAO?

TAOism

No, not the chinese TAO! This is my own TAO - 'The Art Of' doing something. Quite a few years back, when I was working for Infosys, I became interested in the internal writers forums. Its not meant for serious writers or anything, that I had been a part of it is a proof enough. My first post was titled 'The Art of doing Nothing' and talked about well, doing nothing. And it did create some ripples or so I wish to believe.

Now reading 'Eat, Pray, Love' by Elizabeth Gilbert and coming across Bel far niente(beauty of doing nothing), my memories went back to the above mentioned attempt at Infy. And why not bring out the TAO of other things as well! Rest in next... :-)
