After a long, tiring and rather exciting day - half of it at office speculating upon your next assignment, or mission as some would like to call it; traveled to the other end of the city (well, that is almost the farthest I have travelled) for one bloody awesome movie (those who didn't like it - feel sorry for you guys), dropped into my cousin's place for a wonderful dinner - boy, a hearty meal can do wonders to your mood swings and finally reached home only to be greeted by a pile of clothes awaiting their bath and a laptop which does not connect to the internet; this lazy, tech unsavvy person couldn't ask for more. But, TADAA!!! after clicking this and that and every spot the cursor could touch (to quote one of my favourite TV stars) the problem was resolved (see, I am not a techy person. I am a commerce person... "resolved") and I am back to my.... favourite place? the best place? what to call it? Yes - my home on the internet. No, not my home page on Facebook. I am talking about my child - My Blog!
Why am I posting this article now? There are two reasons for me to post any article: one, the fact that I haven't written anything in a long time. And two, the urge to write; when I reach a psychological phase where no longer can I contain the words within me and emotions simply explode with ink.
What is the reason behind this post of mine? Let me tell you my thumb rule of writing - Be Honest! The most basic principle behind my blog; the double entry aspect of Ram Positive. Integrity is certainly something that I will not compromise with. Speak what you think and Do what you say. Be truthful in your thoughts words and actions. It is a utopian ambition; to speak nothing but the truth, no matter what it is. But then again, you don't want ambitions to be too easy, do you?
And applying this idea of truth to your writing... it's complicated. The thing is you cannot speak whatever comes to your mind, literally, when you write, for you are not just trying to fill pages; you also want your precious readers to have a good time. However, no compromising with honesty - period.
So whenever I update my blog just because I have not written anything in a long while, you can notice the dipping quality of the post.
Now, what is it that I want to say? A lot actually. The intense debate surrounding Viswaroopam release, the pathetic political drama, questioning the secularism of our country, the patriotism of a film-maker and not to mention the common man's commonsense. And RSS supporting artistic freedom? Where did that come from? Seriously the debate between the RSS leader and the Muslim League leader made me laugh. This is a tragic issue, which would deserve nothing more than an LOL in the Letter to the Editor column were it not for the fact that poeple residing in Tamilnadu cannot enjoy the movie, which receives rave reviews from around the world - as if the rest of the world is mocking us.
And then the debate about Lokpal Bill. I have the least regard for the provisions of the bill. What I would like is someone like TN Seshan (Chief Election Commissioner of India ex officio, the reason why The Election Commission strikes fear in so many hearts) or Vinod Rai (from 2G to coalgate, this fellow has ruthlessly whipped our babus) to take up the job first and the system will get cured in no time. Till then, we can only wait and watch, as speculations yield no results, no matter who does the speculations.
But the heart of this post is dedicated to; probably the most beautiful thing in the world. My Mother tongue!
Alas! My energy level drops to "can't think straight anymore" level. Hence, stopping here for now. To be continued...
P.S. Birthday Wishes to our dearest Madame Manager and the littlest child at office!
Love
