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.

The on-earth pictures are priceless. Nothing had prepared me mentally for the sight I saw on the ground as I walked back after lunch. I wished I had my camera. Luckily, you had yours.

No alas, but my phone does not have a camera, and no alas again, but it is not alway with me, and no, alas, I was not in the Scouts & Guides.
