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.Discussion

Dear Dr. Hb, I have noticed some changes, and wondered if you are going through it again or just busy at work.
Thank you for letting your blog friends know. We do care. I know it is not something within one’s control, but do take care if you can…
Feel free to delete once you read it.

Posted by hbhatnagar | 12/10/2016, 7:10 PMI’m innocent of that crime. I usually bury my phone face down under a ton of cushions and on work days, leave it at home so I have nothing to avoid. By the way, are you digging the new WordPress update for Reader? It shows your subscriber count (how vulgar) and separates your related posts from related posts in WordPress. My screen is busy and it takes a long time to load. It is gnarly.

Posted by hbhatnagar | 11/10/2016, 9:19 AMIt is incredibly annoying. It only encourages more people to post about their stats. Counting, announcing and reading stats is not why I signed up to WordPress. I was thinking of writing to ask them to quit that. It takes endless seconds, up to a minute to load a post to write a comment.
