Too many mind


Another week gone and still no work. Guess it's time to write for the one die hard subscriber to my blog (loser!). Just kidding...don't mind. Hmm..Mind.

The word reminds me of a scene from the movie "The Last Samurai" starring Tom Cruise. Tom Cruise (Lt. Algren) is practicing fighting with the samurai and keeps getting beaten. Then one
of them comes upto him and says "Algren San..please forgive...too many mind. Mind the sword, mind the people watch, mind the enemy, too many mind.....(pause) No Mind"

So often in life I've seen things which are meant to be simple become very complicated. It troubles me sometimes when we allow too many things to affect something that should depend only on one or two. Though how to do that, I don't know.

I mean it would have come in really usefull when I had all those assignments to do the day before their deadlines. Would have helped to not mind the deadline, mind the word count, mind the references, mind facebook, mind the epic Wimbledon final, mind the ducks.... Of course by the end of it, I think most of the professors probably thought that my assignments were written by someone with no mind what so ever.

Maybe that's what happens with too many minds.....the result is no mind.

"We will keep you here for observation for a couple of days", said the doctor at the emergency room. The ambulance had brought me there for the second time in 12 hours. And so I was checked into the General Medicine ward at Princess Margaret Hospital. It was a open ward with about 10 to 12 beds. I probably stood out for two reasons. Firstly, for being the only non-Chinese person in the ward. Secondly, for being the only one under 80 years old. The ward was shared with the Geriatrics department. Scheduled activities broke the monotony of doing nothing. Meal times, medication times, visiting hours...
