As I Please

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.
