Another Start

Well, after the short yet passionate opening post nearly 9 months ago, I am attempting to make another start.

After much encouragement, motivation and cajoling by some friends (and self), I have brought my lazy self to start sporadically contributing at a friend's blog. Pl check out www.arthsahstra.com. The lead contributor, Vikas, and I have tried to keep that blog more for general socio-political commentary than random personal ramblings.

Some of my early posts also got picked up Desipundit.com - which has worked both as a motivator and also a deterrent from posting any random thoughts. I feel as if there is an onerous responsibility on me to post only responsible, mature and well-researched thoughts -- I am sure I'll soon come out of this heightened sense of self-importance and regress into the normal state of self-criticism, which makes me think nothing I have to say is worth saying. Net result : in either state, I'd produce very few blogs !

Any case, if you got here by any chance : pl do visit www.arthshastra.com and leave me a comment on what you think of my writing.

Zindaginama - shuruat : The beginning

In the name of the Mother Goddess, and everything dear to Her, I am attempting to chronicle the thing most dear to me - Zindagi - Life.

While more would come ( hopefully soon (!) - given that it has taken me months to start the blog) but I would just limit the start with this :

Ae Zindagi, tu mere liye nari swarupa hai,
Kabhi pyari behen meri, kabhi maa, kabhi mashooqa hai

(O Life ! you are much like a woman to me
My sweet sister at times, Mother at others and The beloved at many )
