Raison d’être
The why
Purpose, as I must say, of this writing, is mostly just to spew out my internal monologues. Hence, the question of how it would benefit you as a reader, is practically beyond me. I tend to have long monologues (as like now). Hence, I decided sometime during one of my non-sober trips, that I should just jot them all somewhere somehow - so that, when I or someone else reads it later, a door of light may open.
Sometimes it's just a drunk driver with super-blinding headlights at the end of the tunnel, I must warn.
Dreaming. Reminiscing. Rambling. Po-tay-to po-tah-to! Whatever it may be, I felt it could be given a structure. This is one such attempt.
The reluctance to make it a blog earlier, probably was due to the following reasons1.
a. sharing is caring — As a selfish introvert, I had neither shared nor cared, which is the most plausible explanation.
b. feedback and comments - constructive feedback is always good — at least that's what I keep telling myself. But my hyper-fragile ego didn’t mature past 3rd grade B section. So it cringes on any kind of feedback, positive or negative. Exactly how salt works on slugs. (no, not a recipe.. empathise here).
c. sheer laziness, lackadaisical attitude and lethargy
The what
Honestly, am clueless as ever n everyone. For now, I could think of some here. Prefix every point with “Rant on”.
- spirituality, religion, unicorns and cockroaches
- design — the beauty or the lack of
- love, kajakaja2 and heart-breaks
- movies, gadgets, songs and games, sometimes books
- philosophy
— with generous servings of blatant hypocrisies, outright lies, grammatical errors, pseudoscience and logical fallacies. Typically, everything you'd find in a loving family whatsapp group.
The who
They say nothing bonds people together like shared mutual hatred. For the sake of inclusivity, I have tried to offend people of all races, religions, colours, genders, ethnicities, sexual orientations and physical abilities. So, in case you find that I have not offended enough (is under-offended a word?) of a particular sub-set of people/idealogies that you hate, please bear with me and subscribe3 for updates.
That said, feel free to browse through my pebbles n comment3.
