However,
for others, who get bored with themselves more often than not, I am trying to create a page that'd keep pace with me.Somewhat
along the lines of my arbit outpourings page, but this one would be more strictly narcissistic.The usual details that
everybody who hasn't come to the site by chance ,knows about: I study Neurosciences at Trinity College, Cambridge, I play
the tablas(north Indian drums), I am passionately addicted to the music of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, I love fidgeting around
with this website and have occassional pseudo-literary spurts of activity.( Short and sweet is the flavour of the day- previously
I'd take three paragraphs to talk of the same thing!)
I
also love watching movies, and have very high regard for accepted masters of the art ( especially Satyajit Ray, Nanni Moretti,
Pedro Almodovar, among others) as well as [and this is important] some of the non-accepted ones (including, among others,
makers of 'cheap' Bollywood comedies).
I
also like photography, though my only instrument till now has been a semi-automatic Nikon , which does not allow too much
room for manouvre.
Reading
books used to come a sweeping first among all my extra (and co-)curricular activities at one point in time, now it's much
more of reading from the screen.For those among us who lament the 'loss of the personal touch', I can only offer sympathy
along the lines of the proponents of the printing press defending it against those who over-romanticised the beauties
of the handwritten word.
Utility
grows to become art, if I am allowed to be crudely philosphical.
That's
all I can think about myself right now.Let me wait for the next big inspirational moment to add to this page!
