Greetings, dear friend!
As we prepare to flip the sheet of May in our monthly calendars and embrace the warmth and pleasantness of June, I felt the urgent need for a fresh coat of words and colors to rejuvenate this blog.
This blog was constituted during my stay at the Global Indian International School, Singapore and over the past two years at GIIS Queenstown, I have made many a post about school, my writings, life, etc. bEloW oN d tOp! derives its name from the dinner time nickname we, GIIS hostelites, coined for the boys' quarters which was the penultimate floor at 3 Mei Chin Road. The wonderful journey at GIIS Queenstown has ended, enlightening and enriching my life like no other school ever. I have completed my school education and I returned to India in early April. As I sit at the boarding gates of my college life at Madurai, I believe bEloW oN d tOp! is no longer an apt name for this blog and hence I proudly present bEloW oN d tOp! version 2.0, titled
I admit I found the existing theme a little too static for my choice and despite my everlasting liking for it, I convinced myself a new theme would do no harm.
I understand the previous posts were too infrequently posted apart from being lavish with words but I hope you'll pardon this seventeen year old's obsession on describing things the lengthier and thereby, the more expressive way.
I promise to pen more literature for you to rejoice and regale with on a regular basis. Pardon my faulty memory, but I once spoke on stage - "The joy of getting a feedback, preferably positive, on your work goes unparalleled in the unappreciative world we writers live in" to a highly affirming audience. I am no Gautama Buddha myself, and I too seek to revel once in a while in your appreciation. So here I make this simple request of you. Whatever you read, please spare a moment to leave your feedback and constructive criticism. This need not only tickle my ever burgeoning desperation of a bouquet, but also may serve as an inspiration for other budding writers who chance to view this blog and your comment.
I would love to go on, but I beg your pardon once again, with months of disuse, my English has become all the more rusty and I find myself frequenting the Backspace button more than I would like to.
So, until I get back with my next post shortly, here's wishing you all the very best in whatever you do!
Enjoy life king size.
'Night, Sweetest of dreams...
Ah, before I forget, allow me to acknowledge the genius behind NBOT. I struck the idea of "Nitwit, Blubber, Oddment, Tweak" from the book, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone and specifically, Albus Dumbledore's welcome speech to Hogwarts.
P.S: The new description owes its origin to one Mr.Saurabh Unercat, a close friend of mine, who when asked who his companions were in a Chemistry Lab experiment replied innocently "Me, myself and Saurabh!". The brain in its mystic myriad working, dug this little incident buried deep under tonnes and tonnes of PCM and thus the new description...
Do comment freely on how you like this new look in general and this post in particular...
