6th February 2019
I know I had this blog since time infinite (given I started in 2011 and it is 2019 now) and I had non-zero posts. I could have continued with this blog and not tried to start a lot many different wordpress(es). But I guess I was trying to start something more cool and amazing and wanted to wipe my slate. We all look for a fresh beginning - a new start. A start which we can blend according to our rules. It's funny we never realise that not the layout, not the website - we suck. We are who we are. No matter how many fresh starts we try, we cannot be THAT person who we want to be. I saw a wordpress by a friend and got immediately attracted towards it, wanting to start over and be just have a space like his. I never realised until now that its not my space which sucks, its me. I mean, I don't suck - suck. But I realise that a new wordpress like his won't make me write in regular intervals like him. And if I do write in regular intervals like him - if I muster enough motivation to make my writing public in timely manner, none of my blog (be it Wordpress or Blogger) would suck. With a productive habit like blogging/writing, it's all the game of consistency and improving over time. Sometimes, I feel I became worse over time when I go back to my first post. Guess the key to change that is be consistent and publish. Doesn't matter if I am writing here or there - if I am publishing here or there. It's more about content than presentation still. I know my views here got modified a little after being in industry for more than a year - presentation matters a lot. But deep down I am still a content person. So, no matter how well you dress, if you don't make sense, I can't respect you. The view still holds. The shit can be coated with gold and remain shit, while gold can be coated with shit and remain gold. There is of-course nothing better than gold coated with gold though. Industry has thought me to respect 0.5 gold + 0.5 shit mixture coated with 100% gold more than 100% gold coated with >50% shit. Presentation matters to a good extent until you're completely shit inside. Ok, I guess too much gold-shit mathematics. The fresh start is more about the mind than body. It doesn't matter if you are starting fresh with old slate and not buy a new one (Medium too enticed me like anything), all that matters is if you are doing what you want to do on old slate. It's like buying new books to study. Kids are excited about new books more than what would be taught to them - Science. About time I grow up and accept that my old books are as good as new because that doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things.
See you soon.
Hopefully.
P.S. written at work with my MacBook in quick 20. :)
Edit 1 : There I changed the theme and I lost my old cover picture which had my tape-written name along with a few books. I guess it's about time I stop flaunting J.D. Lee which I never read. I guess its time to flaunt my Kindle with a pen and tree :P
