Norbet Platt once
said, "The act of putting pen to paper encourages pause for thought, this
in turn makes us think more deeply about life, which helps us regain our
equilibrium.” Here's my attempt at acheiving such equilibrium.
The title has no significance to the
content of my first blog. I chose it for no other reason then my love for this
word- the word itself, the sound it makes as it rolls of my tongue, its meaning
- everything. It is an Arabic word - a ruba'i is
a two-line stanza with two parts per line, hence the word rubáiyát (derived
from the Arabic language root for "four"), means quatrains. If language as
we know were to end and we all got to pick a word that would be put in an
indestructible bubble that could survive apocalypse itself, I'd undoubtedly
choose 'Rubaiyat'.
So I start with
blog with an earnest attempt to live more consciously by pausing for thought
and putting my thoughts down on paper. or blog as it were. And I christen the
first post with a word I ardently love - an emotion that should ideally be the
key witness to every beginning.
To New Beginnings!
