(Pseudo)Introductory Post

Our schools usually teach us to start with a Quote. Here is the one close to me:

"Nothing in the life is to be feared, it must be understood. Now is the time to understand more so we may fear less"  - Marie Curie

I was probably too young to understand it fully when I first came across it. Nevertheless, I properly utilized the quote to decorate the class board in the morning. However, in the course of time, moving forward and encountering uncharted waters, fear became my best friend. Probably that was the time that I started binge-watching motivational videos. There is a whole branch of talk about their dynamics, but there is time for that. The takeaway was not to fall into the trap again.

Time went on and I reached class 11, the time in one's life when few find themselves sinking in the quagmire of uncertainty and doubts. Out of interest and curiosity, I decided to pursue the Science stream and enjoyed practical periods. But Covid came and the practical period ended. Science became a burden unbearable and staying at home more so. The fear gipped again, and I started reading more to understand it.

My quest to understand took me law school. I came here with an empty heart, in the hope of becoming better as a person. Soon I realize that life is just another euphemism for struggle. A struggle that goes beyond the idea of classically understood binaries like good or bad, easy or hard, etc. In one of the classes, one faculty (not a teacher because they are peevish about being associated with a synonym of pedagogue!) said, that a lawyer's job is to create statements using 'however' and 'thereupon'! The more complex you make things, the better lawyer you become. 

Now wherever I am, I realize that most of my time goes into thinking. Starting a blog was a thought in one of those obscure thoughtful sessions! (I say sessions because I still can't study at a stretch of 24 hours, a crucial requirement for aspiring engineers and doctors!) As I navigate my way, or probably life, through grand canyons of politics and philosophy which essentially owe their existence to the good fat Oxford Dictionary and the minds of 'Right Thinking Members of the Society', I pause for a while and write a little.

Note: The small statements in the innocuous brackets are texts that provide context to prevent readers from inferring out of text. Quite a pretext though!
