Introduction

“There is no truth. There is only perception.”
- Gustave Flaubert

I am not much of a writer. I know, sounds discouraging, you sit down, start reading a blog and the first thing you read is that this guy is not much of a writer. Yeah, life's like that. I am more of a reader and thinker. Yeah, I think a lot. Mostly, I think of what not to think. People think a lot. You know, mountains of molehills. I am the other way round. I think that people shouldn't think this much. Thinking too much makes us cross the line that separates what's real and what's not. Emotions, grudges, biased opinions start creeping in when people start thinking a lot. I know what you are thinking. How ironical it is for me to say don't think too much when I myself am just thinking and going on ranting about what to think and what not to think. Pretty hypocritical of me to do that. Come to think of it, who isn't a hypocrite? Everyone's always preaching about something or the other. I thought, hey, let me give it a try for once.

You may have noticed by now how bad a writer I am. I think I suffer from ADD in writing. Can't stick to writing and focusing on a part of the topic for long. I change subjects pretty quickly. I will try though, for the sake of my readers. The problem is that thoughts are random. Much easier to think. To put these thoughts into words and frame proper sentences to convey what you exactly want to say is quite a daunting task. I appreciate all the bloggers out there. Hope I will be able to write more freely and expressively after I spend a few days in the blogosphere. As for now, hello people, thanks for reading and see you later.

  1. It's quite an introduction really! :)Randomness of thoughts provide a deeper insight into our characters, about what we really are and I suggest you keep up the spirit. My story too is a bit similar to yours and hence I feel I could relate to it. My best wishes for you and once advice: Embrace regularity in blogging .. :)

  3. I have always had similar thoughts.. the boundaries are more defined in India recently we saw a brutal attack on a person because he spoke his mind. Just imagine what wud have happened if they had listened to u speaking freely. The boundaries have becomes stronger because of the constant fears from the people who follow the religions. An inter religion marriage is still met with bloodshed and their is only once color on the floor red. People are not ready to accept the uniform homogeneous attitude. Financial problems also stimulate the so called social boundaries and the need to live in a society. An inter caste marriage can still result you to become socially outcast. The last point I wud like to make is regarding knowledge. Unless and until you have the proper knowledge you can let your brain go free. You are dependent when you are a child so you are said not tom questions but to follow things but when you grow up you learn the world has more dimensions and with proper knowledge you can shed off the constraints of life too.
