After A Long Time

Hi there! I know I have been missing a long time. But I am back and this time for long (or so I hope). This blog was created to feature some of the outputs of those moments of inspiration. Evidently, there weren’t many. The modern education system has, I discovered, added me to its list of victims, sapped the creative juices of my brain. The left brain has completed its conquest of the right brain; it requires far too much of an effort to be creative and the effort shows. Thus, the long silence.

I am breaking this silence however. Since January, when I last posted, things have changed considerably. And so have my needs. Then I had the company of my best friend, always ready with a friendly ear to listen, a sympathetic shoulder to cry on and a helpful hand to lend. Alas, I have these comforts no more. Time has sundered us. He is still my closest companion, yet we are separated by a journey of two nights by train or a neat sum of five thousand by plane. I have not the two nights, nor the five thousand rupees. And so I revive this blog, untended and ignored for the last few months – this time not as a recorder of my flashes of creativity but as a faithful listener to my periodic rantings and outpourings of thought. It is going to be my companion in this journey that has recently begun and seems so long and lonely.

Here’s to your reincarnation my friend.

p.s. The journey that I am alluding to began four days ago when I joined IIM Bangalore, one of the premier B-schools of India. I will write about my experiences here, during this brief period, in the subsequent post.
