The title of this blog is my homage to a writer and a journalist, a man considered by many to be the conscience of his generation, Eric Blair aka George Orwell - his crystal clear prose, his felicity of language, his incisive grasp of contemporary issues. It strives as language as a clear pane of glass and this blog is an attempt, perhaps deeply inadequate, in that direction.

About this Blog
- Rahul Basu
- I work in theoretical physics but this blog is only rarely about physics. The title of the blog As I Please, as some of you may guess, is my homage to a writer and a journalist, a man considered by many to be the conscience of his generation, Eric Blair aka George Orwell. I cannot claim to have Orwell's crystal clear prose or his felicity of language, or for that matter, his incisive grasp of contemporary issues. But I strive to emulate him -- language should be, in his memorable words, like a clear pane of glass and this blog is an attempt, perhaps deeply inadequate, in that direction. The other blog I run Rahul's Recipes is self explanatory.

Since the post is so succinct about so vast a subject it is only appropriate that the commentary dwarfs the post, wags the dog.
Mr Bush said: “Our enemies...never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we.”
Had Obama made this slip it would have been an admission of a genetic leaning towards harming America. For Bush, who also went to Harvard, it is simply a gaffe.
I must say I will miss Mr. Bush. He showed us how far we have fallen and how far we must rise. Ole Nostrildamus.
Mastah -- all this discussion reminds me of a joke you may no doubt have heard in your youth. Big nose..xxx xxxx.
