MS Word is my best friend.
This week began with words and has continued to be about them.
What started off as a short assignment to draft one mail, went on to stretch over half my day;
Followed by the editing of another mail;
Followed by another one-
The next day.
Even for someone who loves words, this is a bit much.
However, the only reason this sequence of similar, simultaneous activities didn’t get to me was because
MS word is my best friend.
It stores in its memory all of my words,
Allowing me to cut, copy and paste relevant sentences from one place to another.
This is important.
Ask Ananya and she will vouch for it.
It allows me to remember the way we reacted to one person, and rectify and make things better with another.
This is even more so.
Sai will tell you about this.
It allows me to write bland, barely baked blogs so that I can come back at a later date and befriend them again.
Like I did today.
I’d left this piece at ‘MS Word is my best friend’ on Monday, but only today, when I can’t think of any new ideas do I really appreciate the way technology has swept us away.
Someone else in office might say
That Excel is their best friend.
For how else will you estimate for every single detail?
Or maybe Sketchup is their bestfriend.
For how will you pull all your walls, place your windows and see how the light enters the space;
How will you know if the design is perfect,
In its 3 dimensional way?
Or maybe, you are Rithik.
Your questions range from 2B or not 2B
To which angles you’ll see,
When sketched in 2D.
We all have our best friend.
The one that aids the way we work In this space;
Holds your gaze; and says,
What do you want to work on today?
