The time for grand gestures and flourishes of the pen is over. We live in an age of acute compression now, where full-blown ideas need to be expressed in 140 characters, where soundbites take the place of cogent arguments, where blogs are the new newspapers.
I used to sporadically maintain another blog (if you’ve been diverted here from the Chronicles, salute!), until I realized I had painted myself into a corner (blogs have personalities too, and mine was turning out to be rather schizophrenic).I decided, after a lengthy exile, to start again, this time with more content and less vanity pieces. Appropriately enough, it’s the Fourth of July. Like any other new blog this is mostly empty, but will be filled out as days go by. I shall be more regular in my updates; I think I have a lot of pent-up ideas that need to be expressed.
Hope you find this blog to be as interesting as the previous one was. Cheers.
