In keeping with my blog addiction I’m adding another “daily to-do”. I don’t know if I’ll be able to keep it up but if wit fails me, I’m sure the OED won’t. So the word might be something erupting from the compost heap that is my mind or from the hallowed pages of the revered-yet-so-hard-to-find-these-days dictionary. Today’s word-
Nonplement – Something that sounds like a complement, but isn’t. π

I need to fill this up with much better content than I had populated it with earlier. Why I write a blog maybe? I started blogging in 2009 or thereabouts. I was a newly turned atheist and wanted to converse with others of the same persuasion. We're not exactly a big population group in India! It didn't go very well and I sort of lost interest, posting a few things now and then.
I got a lot more regular over the last few months and have been posting almost daily since February '15. There were many reasons why I gradually became more regular in posting, but one way or the other, here I am! So this blog has taken shape, being at different points in time my showcase, my comedy club, my art gallery, my book club, my therapist, my close friend, my innermost self....but always my little corner of the world. You are all welcome to visit and I hope you stay awhile!
A few points about me because I don't want to lead anyone on(and trust me this does become an issue more often than I'd care to admit).
I'm Indian, the brown-skinned variety; if race, ethnicity or skin colour is an issue, you don't have to get to know me any more than what you see on my blog.
I'm 40, so if age is an issue, please be informed accordingly.
I was a doctor, an ophthalmic surgeon for 10 years before I quit practice.

It’s just a word I came up with for what’s also called a left handed complement. Something that sounds like a complement but is really a cleverly worded insult.

I remember a word that I created.
“Barkastic” Those who think they are being sarcastic, but they really are barking. xD
I am lame sometimes.

Nonplement is not in my Webster app and I had to know its meaning or else I wouldn’t be able to sleep. Lol. Thanks to Google for the meaning. Haha!

I had given the meaning right there! Didn’t know someone else had hit upon the idea before, it was the outcome of a boring hour at work in my case. π
