Nearly a year back from today, I was browsing in this same system in which I am typing this blog now. It is this Comp, whenever I gave my laptop some rest, I used for most of my academic purposes in law school, especially after my laptop got crashed in the lastest trimester. I had to use this comp to finish doing most of my seminar courses, let alone how actively I was involved in downloading loads of music and listening to them. "IL II 1340 - plz dont delete" a folder which belongs to me and containing most of the work I did in my 4th and 5 year still receives me with warmth everytime I login this comp . Now I am a graduate but have visited the campus for some inexplicable reason and to use this comp and see the folder undeleted, gives me tremendous nostalgic feeling.
Whenever I take a break from typing project or doing any research work, I only had the habit of streaming music videos or visit googleshark, until one special day I, accidentally, bumped into the webpage 'www.latentspace.blogspot.com'. It was a moment similar to when I first time ever, listened to Chris cornell, Dire straits, Bryan Adams or watch Batistuta play, or watching a movie like, Big fish or scent of a woman or any other best first time entertainment experience i ever had. It showed me the beautiful side of a written piece of anything whatsoever it was. I wanted to read more and more of 'Latent Space'.
For the first time, I developed a genuine interest in 'reading' as such since Latent space had broke me away from the academic stereotype all that i believed in about reading. I was so tempted to comment on so many blogs of Latent space; now and then, but I chose to remain a secret admirer. I followed her. My College ended in a month, soon after I discovered Latent space, so I had to go home and I followed her from my hometown. Many a times and again, I was so tempted to comment. So, whenever I did, I used to save those comments, hoping sometime in the future I would, but I dint for I loved and enjoyed myself being the secret admirer. Two months from then, I joined a office in Chennai, I could not get much time to follow her blog so but I could still steal a glance of her page when I got time. Since there had been so many changes and fuck ups and have discovered even some other blogs, one amongst which even acted as a life guide, interestingly.
Two days before I was with some of my frens reading Latentspace and i found She had changed her blogsite layout. I dint like it at all. At first, I even wondered if I was at her page, then her old blogs confirmed me that it was her blogsite. The previous layout depicting a droplet made me feel home and it always reminded me of my final trimester in my final year in law school, then my temporary stay in my hometown where I was reading this blog again and again like I used to listen, repeatedly to some of my fav rock songs like "Handhole" by 'Lounge Piranha', "I am the Highway" by Audioslave or 'shadow of the day' by 'Linkin park' (To me, these are evergreen songs which never go dry and everytime I listen to, I always feel like I am listenting to them for the first time, and same with the Latentspace, I can take any old blog and read it again. again and again, they never go dry, Latent space you are evergreen).
And finally I chose to comment on her one untitled blog which was asusual written in a brilliant style and I also asked her if she could change her layout to the previous one. And today I came to library to do some reasearch and intentionally used the same comp for old time sake (This is the one in the corner-most n facing window through which one can see the entrance of Law school lib and the pathway). So I log into this comp and I see Latent space had replied to my comment. After all I could have commented even a year back on any other blogs of Latent space and Latent space could have still posted a response to it but if I had did comment on Latent space the very same day i had come across, I would not have probably enjoyed it since i wanted to be a secret admirer. Also then, I had no blogsite of my own. I felt like I needed one before I post a comment on Latent space:) Because I needed an Identity. I knew I could not built an Identity as great as Latent space but I know I can start building one. Infact I got inspired by Latentspace and bloggers alike after all, So it would be too much to ask for to be like Latent space itself to post a comment on Latent space in such a short time. Did gave a shot. And so here I am with this blog as its effect. Now that I have one of my own, I proudly and recently commented expressing my dislike over her new layout( since she necessitated by changing the blog layout) in one of her blogs.
And to see that Latentspace has commented in response to what I have commented and that too in the same Comp where I had discovered her, I just thought for a moment how life is one big loop and we all go over and over again in it, still moving forward. I am here again for almost a year after having graduated and left and then return to where I started to see that Latent space knows me now and that brings me smile on my face :)
