The rationale

Finally, I have opened my own blog. And I want to justify this decision of mine with my first entry.

The answer is simple - I have started thinking a bit, about entities beyond biology, computational biology, genomics, microbiology, Skype, Yahoo and British Airways.

What am I thinking about? When I was in school, I used to write short stories, that would, in the eyes of anyone reasonable, border the inane. Now, may be, I could write better literature, if you call it that. But I rarely can commit the time and energy towards it. So, as a replacement, I have taken to reading some classic English literature that allows me to think about the various subjects described in the book concerned. Further, in recent months I have taken to photography, which has allowed me to see things from different perspectives. And having seen a country not my own for close to two years now, I rather reflect on society just a bit. And having not watched much cricket in recent years, I also feel that I am in a promising position to add, in a lay manner, to the whole sack of unlearned and uncharitable comments made on Indian cricket by learned persons.

I do not intend to bring any biology into these blogs, and if I do breach this promise, I would like to hope that it is because it has connotations beyond science.

In short, I hope to make this blog an eclectic mix of everything as far removed from my primary vocation as possible.
