Today morning,a series of loud,verbal slaps were delivered to mutinuous neurons inside my head.It all started when one or a team of my neurons(a minion of my brain but capable of revealing all manner of insecurities and unconformatable thoughts,sometimes I think they do me more harm than good) said you should start a blog.You could share all your ideas and experiences.This idea sent my mind into an overdrive,throwing everything into chaos.I am not creative or interesting,I retorted,I might be a terrible writer and other people might read what I write prompting groups of Grammer Nazis to send me(or my blog) to their version of Auschwitz(I had to look the spelling up,see...).The neuron(s) replied,we understand that you prefer not to share much with other people because you are afraid of how they will perceive(perspective/perception are mind altering drugs that causes your boss to appear sleazier than he is and the cute girl to appear friendlier than she is) you,this could your way of communicating openly and freely...
two slaps were delivered to the neurons and the sound of the slap started echoing through my head while the idea of writing something reverberated through my brain along with it.
But what would I write about,a post that looks like this is not rewarding or fulfilling either to the unfortunate reader(unless they like to gleefully read and share blogs based on how bad they are) or to the writer:
Hey,went to the office today.Worked till evening on hocus-pocus.Returned home.The END.
But there are some interesting things about you,other neuron(s) said,you could tell them about some of your obsessions like watching good movies,reading books,some of the experiences you have as a programmer.Your effort to learn JavaScript using only legally free resources or your attempts to not use products that are pirated,those would atleast be mildly interesting...a mental slap was bestowed upon them for their efforts to prop me up instead of talking me out of this crazy idea or telling me to write fake stories about how I climbed the dubiously named Olympus Mons(it turns that this is Mount Olympus too) the tallest mountain on Mars.However,by now the idea had taken hold of me and I wrack my brain trying to think of something to write and ofcourse nothing funny or interesting comes to mind.
Other groups of neurons were bold enough to suggest that I write about the thought process of why I decieded to write a blog and voila you have this blog post.For their idea and for making the effort of composing this article,I reward them with a mental lashing and now my head hurts.
So before,I go away to my deep,dark and dank corner,I would like to introduce myself:
I am Vamsi,a programmer,a movie buff and a reader and as my friends tell me a terrible photographer.I am what a smartass or a Bitsian would call a gult(translated to an individual whose mothertounge is Telugu and probably hails from what is currently known as the state of Andhra Pradesh).This blog is my way of sharing and not caring.I have tried to do this before but crippling fear and insecurity kept me from clicking on Blogger's create blog button.I would like to note that although I will go away from time to time,I will be back(just like the Terminator)I have done so in a moment of madness and I would like to click Publish before I come to my senses and abort this endeavour.
