Sekhar has taken real pains, to get some sense of order to the meandering ways our blog. With over 110 postings, to try and codify the pieces into different headings is a tedious and a boring exercise meant for computer punching operators. We must acknowledge and appreciate his efforts. Thanks son.
Having said that, to borrow from his own words, it must now be further refined, and a list of subject headings drawn up accounting for all the 111 listings, so that any one who feels the urge to write, has only to pick on the listed topics, or introduce new ones, and hey presto, he will be there. The different topic heads that emerge from the first six months of our experiments with "truth" together with the number of postings against each are broadly
1. Move series ( Maverick overview on Evolution) - 16
2. Naresh's Metaphysical TQM - 22
3. Family experiences - 11
4. Quotes/Vichiisms - 20
5. Blog discussions - 11
6. Children Series - 04
7. Poetry - 04
8. Mythology - 04
9. Beliefs and Scepticisms - 03
10. Social Ethos - 02
11 Traditional Thoughts - 01
12. Information -01
13Dialogue - 12
Total - 111 listings.
The first 2 need no elaboration. Sr no 3 is about experiences re first admission of children, anirudhs vishamam, etc, sr no 4, includes both original quotes and vichiism, 5-9 are again clear headings, sr no 10 is pieces like donation to Akshaya Patra and other social events, Sr no 11 is some pure thoughts like Umashankars piece on my "railings against orthodoxy" , and 12 is to do with informations like Anand's reference to websites, Ambu's reference to say some authour etc. The final one "dialogue" is just a one time piece about my dialogue with my american friend Rebecca.
With such a variety of subjects to choose from, anyone with an urge to share an idea, an info, an experience , a story, etc...., can find a ready platform for , and if fitted into that subject category, I would like to believe that, not only the participation would become more easy, and lively, the overall effect of the blog would be more pleasing. These can be modified and a final list can emerge.
As a retired old man, I had the time to sift thru, and get these data. It's for professionals, like Sekhar, Naresh, and the blog patron Arun to give this a further impetus. The revenue model can wait methinks, as polishing, editing, refurbishing individual thought processes - the very basic idea of the blog- is not very pleasant, notwithstanding it's necessity.
If individual title of the pieces are reqd to tag these in their proper "headings", I will send them once there is a consensus, on my suggestion/ modified version.
I hope to hear from most if not all of you........
May God bless us in our jignyaasaa for "the ultimate truth" .............

Vichu Athan,
ReplyDeleteI am going to quickly make my contribution for today in the children series.
It will be appropriately tagged so that it appears in the top left as mentioned by Sekhar.
For all the blogs till now to be codified into the thirteen serialised headings that you have mentioned , all one needs is that we have 'admin privileges' and go and change the field that is marked 'labels'. Sekhar can do that if he has the titles, I can do it and I am sure anybody can do it if he or she puts his/her mind to it.
We all must respect the rule that all future postings need "labelling" and if somenone misses out then the administrator will label it according to his/her understanding at his/her convenience.
I am going to give you admin rights so that you can figure out the way while others wait for the titles.
In the meanwhile please tell me if the piece that I will write shortly is ok for the children series.
