There is a dual motive behind this blog. There are thoughts, ideas, stories ricocheting within the precincts of my mind in a state of restless ferment. These I intend to put to paper. The process is slow and gradual but nevertheless some of these will see the light of the day. This blog, is my veritable garden of Eden, which I intend to nurture occasionally through the wellspring of my thoughts, for my own delectation as well as other kindred spirits.
My second motive is more pervasive. The French and Russian revolutions which tumbled the debauched despotic rule and ushered in constitutional democracy was marked with gory violence and bloodbath. Fortunately, we live in functional democracies where sweeping changes need not be predated by violence. We do-not require the guillotine of France or the rifle of the Bolsheviks. For we have something else in our arsenal that is more powerful, profound and pervasive… Words…, words and thoughts when properly articulated and cast on the right audience can have a snowballing effect. I am an opinionated person and I intend to use this blog to write about important happenings around us and the world that have a bearing on humanity at large, in a way that accelerates change for the better. I might sound a bit pretensious but that’s my honest intention behind this blog.
