Smaller than Life
Why a blog? Simple. Cacoethes Scribendi -- the urge to write! My literary pretensions and caprices bring me here. Like any writer I write to be read. All my posts, though fettered to my small world and trivially myopic, will live and yearn that somebody connects to them someday. Cognitive frenzies, sardonic musings, aimless banters, incoherent ramblings and trivial indulgences; this is simply an episodic narrative of my trivial world -- in a grain of sand… Smaller than Life.

When I am dead,
I hope it is said,
'His sins were scarlet,
but his books were read'.

- Hillaire Belloc

This is my letter to the world
That never wrote to me, --
The simple news that Nature told
With tender majesty.

Her message is committed
To hands I cannot see;
For love of her, sweet countrymen,
Judge tenderly of me!

- Emily Dickinson

The thoughts of our past years
          in me doth breed
Perpetual benediction

- William Wordsworth

Taking Guard

Before I write anymore, I feel I must clarify my stand and my perception of this blogging business. So far the readers of my blog (if any) will have seen me treat my blog only as a webspace where I post my essays and articles. Also, the essays till now have not had stray typographical errors (I hope!). I am beginning to feel more and more that I am wasting this golden opportunity to pen down anything and everything that crosses my mind by publishing eclectically the choicest articles alone. From now on I shall try to amend the situation and try to treat the blog as a 'blog' in the fullest sense of the term. The views that you may find from now on may be radical, even rabid. But I shall sanctimoniously not hold myself entirely culpable for to me they will just be a vent for my cognitive frenzies and hence only spasmodic spurts of mental abstraction. I shall not spare the blog henceforth of either my momentary frenzies or my 'emotions-recollected-in-tranquillity-the-cognoscente's-delight' kind of compilations.
