The Discreet Charm of Blogging

Thieving fingers plucked O ineluctable superiority of northerness! from Salman Rushdie’s “Midnight’s Children”–what it has to do with Rushdie, magical reaslism, Padmas or fatwas, is a veritable mystery for the ages; nevertheless, the blog has persisted, deficient as it may be in symbolic import.

It is equally difficult to say what this blog is about though a few preponderant themes can be discerned; pathos, politics, poetry, fiction and nonfiction, Islam and the Middle East, the incontinent subcontinent, interstices, law school, mysticism and rationality, film and various vergences of the same.

Fanfare. Flourish.
