An Introduction

Blogs, I sometimes read in the newspapers around, are partly vanity and partly an introvert's escape. While I do agree with the former, I do not think that the latter would apply to more than the usual quota of exceptions. I am now starting this blog, not to simply idiotically imagine that a million around the world would know me and would read my thoughts, would interpret my actions, and hence I would have a claim on the sympathy of a million, but simply as a means to offer a glimpse of the world that I live in.

"the world that I live in" doesn't mean of course the whole periphery of the globe - it is the world that surrounds me, it only means the well that is around this humble frog. The country in which I was born, in which I am living, the people around me, the climate which may affect my moods and mood swings, the books that I get to read, the close people among whom I share my warmth, the erotic photograph that excites me and more importantly,which fails to excite me, the films from which I do not want to get out, the indefinable "myself" , all this is the world that I live in. And to know of different people around the world, of different cities, of different climates , is so exciting.... that is why I ever presumed to trouble anybody with a blog.

Now for some introductions. I am an Indian, born and bred up in India and still there. Thankfully, this one country itself is such a mosiac that I can survive yet... My characteristic trait has always been to take off-beaten paths, something which I myself cannot exactly give a reason to. Presently I am a 3D animator beginning out, but I also continue to search for some avenue where I can write freelance articles, movie reviews, or short stories for newspapers/journals. But since I have not any journalist's degree I do not know that whether anybody would take me in (and what testimonials would I show the editor), and neither do I know any of intellectual property rules.

And with that, my blog starts. Also, if so far you have been with me, then see a companion blog (only for reviews by me of movies that I've seen - both contemporary and classics, from Hollywood and Indian cinema) on http://indmoviereview.blogspot.com
