Fleeting Ideas

Aren't the best ideas the ones you always forget (?). We get these brilliant ideas, while driving, or traveling in the bus or train, but those ideas disappear in air before we get our hands on the logistics to pen them down. No matter how good my memory was, that one brilliant idea that exhibited potential to win the Cannes or the Pulitzers, vaporized in thin air under open skies leaving no trace behind.

Words of wisdom - Write it down; on a napkin or on your packet of cigarettes, or on your hand. Record your ideas, as and when they strike. One way is to keep a notebook handy, in your bag, or in your car, or wherever convenient. But will you carry the notebook to the bathroom? Well, I'd rather use the paper inside.
