Lyadh, or the Goldfish Syndrome

Yes, one of those days when you are a goldfish.


You sleep till noon. You don't want to take your bath. You aren't hungry. You take an hour to write out a 200 word post. You aren't reading. Sometimes you blow a spit-bubble or two. You also don't know what you are thinking about. You're warm, but you don't want to stitch the fan on. There are 40 people online on your IM, but you don't know what to say to even one of them. It's difficult to even get bored.

You feel like a goldfish in a round glass bowl. Even your blinking seems stupid.

We Bengalis have a simple word for this: Lyadh.
