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.

Indeed! ...and especially when the unarmed civilians are not misguided at all, although that's a separate issue.
sacredfig: I meant misguided in the sense that it does not help either their cause or themselves to provoke security forces during curfew, that too repeatedly, when you know what the outcome will be. Some of them might also be (mis)guided by separatist leaders who stay safely indoors but induce these youngsters to become easy cannon fodder.
It took the British PM 38 years to apologise for the injustice committed on Bloody Sunday.
I wonder how long it would take the Indian PM, and how many apologies he/she would owe.
