that sinkin' feeling
got that sinkin' feeling again.
am supposed to join a ship from korea next week. this one also is built to carry crude oil. dont know its route yet. actually its a brand new ship. am going to korea to take delivery of the ship. right now its under construction at Daewoo shipyard in south korea. will be out of the dock by mid feb. i hope it can float. got a queer sense of anxiety. quite like the expectant father pacing outside the labour room, waitin for his wife to give birth. ( sherl, i think u would understand how i feel, good luck with ur baby). i am waiting too, for the 'water to break'. the past few months on land have been wonderful. surely gonna miss the life on land. life at sea (minus the work) is also wonderful. at times i feel that there is nothing more magnificient than a ship at sea. it all comes down to grass on the other side which is a lot more greener because its astro-turf (wow! cant believe i said that) or in my case water on the other side. that reminds me, when u stand on the port side (left) of the ship all u can see is water. when u stand on the starboard side (right) of the ship again all u see is water. gives u a strange sense of deja vu. i call it deja view. is my life easier cos both sides are the same - nope. the complication tends towards infinity.
well anyway, i hear this ship has got state of the art communication system, (everything is via satellite). good news is the ship would have an email account. will post it as soon i learn about it, so that u can keep in touch. but hey, dont send forwards, pornographic images or love letters cos its a common account for everyone on the ship and hence zero privacy. of course, dirty stuff can be sent provided they are in encrypted form. send me the code first. i hope they have a violin on board. yup, i am in love with the voilin these days. u would too, if u listen to western classicals. happens yaar, u know, while i was following rock music, i was hooked onto the guitar, the g-string to be specific. but now its just 'fiddling' with the violin. pity dont have the time for these things. envy u people on land. a little spot of warning if u are interested in learning how to play the violin. u better learn it well before any public performances cos if the public gets angry things can get really dicey. look what happened to julius caesar. poor chap was fiddling when brutus stabbed him in the back. er ... i have a faint recollection of something burning in the background, just cant put my finger on it. anyway, bugger had the time to say " u 2 brute? " before he died. i wonder if he was asking brutus whether he was also using the same deodorant "brut". cant say. these romans are crazy.
my dear friends, if u have any final words of wisdom before i join the ship kindly let me know. u can mail me at u2balaji@yahoo.com
