A last look at the orrery. A small side-note; the clock shows the completion date of the clock as 1842 but it was completed in 1843…

A last note for any of you who happen to visit Strasbourg, there’s a reportedly wonderful display of models of Jesus and the apostles walking across the clock at noon-ish. I missed it, I hope you don’t. 🙂

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 really enjoyed these images .. work of art.
And I think that display would be very special .. shame you missed it Dr Hb

Thank you Alok! This is the third clock to stand on this site. I wish we could have had a look at the first! 🙂
