Anupam Dhyani's blog

Anupam Dhyani's blog→

A most interesting take on life, by my friend Anupam Dhyani. The posts are mostly in Hindi.

P.S.: Hopefully Google’s automatic translation will someday be good enough that the experience of Anupam’s blog for a non-Hindi speaker will begin to approach that experienced by someone fluent in Hindi. 

The programmer’s ( author’s ) ‘itch’

At several places, I have read that any piece of software is essentially an expression of a programmer’s ‘itch’ to solve a particular problem. This is all the more true for FOSS ( free open source software ), since it is by definition non-commercial. I believe the same applies to writers/authors(*) as well. I believe, at some point of time the ‘itch’ / self-chattering inside a writer’s mind increases to a point that expressing these thoughts in the open, starts to seem natural, spontaneous and an itch-reliever as well ! It seems to me that I have reached such a point. This blog will serve as an itch-reliever henceforth !

(*) = I use the term writer loosely here, i.e. not in the generally accepted ( I believe ) sense of a well-published author, but as a person who merely pens down his ( perhaps less than earth-shattering ) thoughts. A more accurate representation of my intent would be ‘thought-expressor’ ?

Returning back to Blogspot from Tumblr ?

As of today I am seriously considering switching back to Blogspot as my default blogging platform, rather than using Tumblr. Here are some of the reasons:

1. In Blogspot / Blogger I don't have to go to an external hosting provider to host an image which I want to post in my blog post.

2. The post is auto-saved during the time of composition.

3. Overall, it feels easier to format a post on Blogger, with the plethora of formatting options being easily accessible.

4. Also, the blogging experience / speed is faster on Blogger.

First Blog post !

Well, my first ever blog ! so am I supposed to be excited about it ? Hell yeah ! but it is 4 in the night and I can't get myself to type a whole lot of stuff and ideas, maybe sometime later ! Am still learning the fine art of writing persuasively.

Hope to write some more in the near future ...
