About hbhatnagar

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.

      • I LOVE color, and in fact trying to convince the young woman who does my hair to put RED in my hair. This woman seems scared of red. This time around I will point out THIS COLOR and no other. 😉 I love vibrant colors, sparkles too, and always have been drawn to Indian styles. Love silk as well. 🙂

      • Red is considered auspicious in Hinduism.
        I’m sure the red would look lovely on you. 🙂

      • Curious minds would like to know why. I see a lot of orange in India. I can only wear certain tones of red and very little of it. Red can be a very “harsh” color but when used appropriately and with the right shades it is beautiful. 🙂

      • Saffron is the particular shade of orange that you see in India everywhere. Red is more associated with the female divine, saffron is associated with valor and sacrifice.
        Red is a strong color but I am sure you’ll carry it. 🙂

      • Yes red is a strong color and that is why I am very careful as to the tones and shades of red I wear and will have in my hair. Subtle. Not in your face RED. If you could see my clothes closet, I have very little red in it and when I do wear it, I must be in the right frame of mind to do so. Saffron orange on the other hand I have lots of in my closet. 🙂 It is warm and it just feels so good wearing it. Orange is the color of creativity. Maybe that is why I am so drawn to it. 🙂
