2x3x7 : A blog Par Excellence....
How many times have you felt that somebody somewhere out there is leading a life out there which you know but for an evolutionary accident and social conditioning you should be leading? Anyway as I was aimlessly blog trotting yesterday I came across this blog which riveted my attention and made me spend a marathon 6 hr stretch reading all the posts and rereading some of them.
His nick is Falstaff and he pretty much lives upto the character's reputation. His blog site is 2x3x7 (If you didnt get the hint on the play on the blog address chances are you wont enjoy the posts in the blog! )
Frankly it was the blog address which caught my attention first and from then on it was a fascinating journey. The panoply of posts covering quite a gamut of topics from Philosophy,Sociology,Books,Music,Movies makes one go awestruck. It is not merely the topics themselves but the logical way in which the posts are written makes it quite brilliant and a literary delight.
I dont know Falstaff from Adam and with all due deference to whoever it is it doesnt really matter. What fascinates one is the brilliant and erudite mind behind it. The posts engages the reader and makes one see the post in the eyes of the writer. Atleast some of the posts the topics on which one is interested. His cohesion of thoughts is impeccable and there is a clinical accuracy to the way in which he dissects an argument and puts forth his viewpoints.The cynical humor is the leitmotif of the posts and I was constantly reminded of the Shavian quote about cynicism...:)
All in all it was an intellectual journey par excellence. To put it more succintly the blog and posts rock! Totally!
Girish...!
p.s. Well the topics and viewpoints expressed in that blog may not be everyone's cup of tea but if you share even one similar interest you cannot come out without being impressed....
p.p.s I really wonder who is this guy...though certain inferences can be made as to "what he is possibly doing now and what he was doing!" Yes Yes I said the physical identity doesnt matter but still one does get inquisitive...
