It had been a tiring day of walking all over Strasbourg, and I decided to rest by the river for a while, see the waters flow by. The river flowing through Strasbourg goes by the rather unfortunate name of Ill (Fr. Il). It didn’t detract from the beauty of the spot or the quiet peace it afforded me.

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 looks like a superb spot to sit and relax .. I’m with both Amy’s

That I did, Thank you Amy. Made some nice slow motion videos too. I have grown to like slow-flowing rivers as much I love fast mountain brooks. 🙂

WP asks me to pay before I can post videos here and I’m still holding out. 😀
I did post one on instagram though. 🙂
