My friend: Hey, You have a lot of useless things in your mind. Why don't you write your blogs (Why only I should suffer)?
Me: What? Write something? Don't forget that we belong to same educational caste of useless-mediocre who could never "write" their assignment or examination within stipulated time. How can I write something?
My friend: No my dear fool! Blogging in fact is a peculiarity of our cast -who else has time to do it. It is an excuse of why we could not do anything (read - anything other than blogging) on time. It also adds a point in our so average CV as an extra curricular hobby. So start it if you want see some smartness in you (or, how un-smart people declare you).
I awoke. Is he talking sense? Does BLOG really means "Bekaar LOG"? My consciousness still deluded me to keep myself away from "writing anything", but a deep invoice kept insisting me to change my sub-caste to useless-but-smart-mediocre like a blogger. So today, Just like any other typical software engineer (My Super-Caste) I searched "Google Blog" on Google, hoping that Google must be having something of this sort and my searches carried me to "blogspot.com".
The very first awkward question I was asked was to select names for my blogs and blog's web page. Now, what is this? I am still a bachelor and I have never invented any machine. How can I have the experience of naming anything? I started with my own name but it was not available. I continuously changed spelling - It became unreadable, but still it was not available. I tried for some "chirkut" names we used to have for our friends but nothing excited me. It took me half an hour to derive at the name - Antarayan.
Antarayan is made of two Hindi words: अन्तः and अयन. अन्तः is "inside the body" or "soul" and अयन is "movement" or more precisely "revolution". So, Antarayan literally means moving around one's own soul. Antarayan is also a ritual of revolving around a sacred place like a temple with a belief of getting any desire fulfilled. Antarayan (अंतरयन) must not be confused with Antaraayan (अंतरायन) which means interruption. I understand, Blog can become an interruption in our deep sleep, but still it has nothing to do with it.
waah baba, shuruat toh ahha kiye ho... bina topi ke hi itna kuh likh dena... well going :)
