The mind is sometimes a seething cauldron. Could well be because human beings judge a dilemma in life according to the mental fabric they are made of. Their own upbringing and their personal experiences in life often colour their judgement and a rational view most often becomes a rarity – rather a psychological impossibility.
I am fighting hard to recollect a few events of a none-too-distant past. In a muddled mind, it’s a mental warfare. Memories are like candles in a dark room – no more than tiny spots of brilliance which, when viewed through the lens of time, darken, distort and grow dimmer.
The beauty of someone fighting for truth is that he wins either ways. If the ruler concedes his demand, the cause of truth is advanced and therefore he wins. If the ruler does not, the truth of what he has been saying about the ruler is established further (this is from my book - not sure if it is my original work)

i am a habitual surfer but dont read blogs- they are bore and often autobiographies of uninteresting people. someone referred me your blog so started reading. i dont you and it hardly matters when reviewing things on public domain.
Random thoughts was the only one of interest - bit differently written and shows a mature mind.
Why do you want to moderate on comments? Either you cannot take criticisms or want to hear only good things. Criticims should be accepted like praise alike. Am sure many readers will not withdraw their comments once they post a comment and realise someone is going to edit and decide what and what not to publish.
dont put photos - provide a link if you seriously want to show your family and friends.
about the various articles - all of them carry the same undertone. Language is good so it makes them interesting or else they are all predictable. Only difference is there are very varied subjects. I also suspect that you choose various subjects and edit them to present as yours (sorry for being harsh - or else how can write on such assorted issues).
The novel like post was your way of criticising and punching people who you are afraid of, it seems. And suddenly stopped - fear or threat?
Suggestions:
1. Allow unmoderated comments - mature writers accept criticisms.
2. Write longer pieces as that would reveal how much in detail you can discuss anything
3. Remove astrology or any such quack science from mainstream and file them under separate column
4. Continue the novel - no need to be scared unless it is about your own family
5. Change your browser - the color and fonts sometimes are inconsistent. And no need to worry about the blog being hacked. You can export the entire blog into a word file and retain it - do regular back up
6. Write about your profession and your main activity so that would tell the reader more about your character
7. Some links are actually not links but merely texts - you can always create a valid link by choosing the 'post link' option.
8. Keep writing - no need to suddenly stop- this looks like a cheap method to guage reader reaction. If you do not write for a few weeks, you are more likely to be forgotten.
good luck.
Dear Reader
At the outset i thank you for your patience - you have taken time to read whatever is written over these pages and have taken more than normal time to write.
I don't shun criticism. I love them more than bouquets - just that i am not sure if i will be able to respond to every comment so chose the moderation way.Most blog-writers do that. I have a few dozens of comments remaining to be moderated - some of these are too adulating for comfort and some of them are repetitive. So i have not published them.
I fully appreciate the reader doesn't like someone sitting on judgement to decide if his (reader's) comments deserve to be published or not. Hardly my intention as well. Will try to remove the moderation flag asap.
Point taken on photos - as i mentioned in one of the posts, this is my mind's blotter and i should ideally populate it with any crap - but since i love people to read what i write i have to be discreet. Also thanks for that feedback on links - i am not a techie and even a simple formatting takes hours - hence different fonts or colors. Am learning fast so you can see quality in the coming days.
I write extempore - exceptions being when i have to refer to my book (my first literary indulgence) for some quotations or thoughts. I wouldn't write on a subject that i don't know. Struggling hard in life to move away from the cliche 'jack of all trades and master of none' - so i truly believe in specialization.
I am not scared or under any threat - how can a joker be mistaken! Current climate is not quite conducive for uninhibited abandon.
I have to devote some of my time for something that affects me,my existence and my family. Hence this short break. Don't really care if people mistake me or forget me. So this leave..
Would love to meet you. gururk1511@gmail.com / 96199 04878 are contact details.
A person who preaches to take criticisms doesn't even have the guts to add his / her name. Preach what you practice.
It was clearly declared that the blog is more or less the writer's personal diary. He shares his likes and dislikes in this space. So it is left to his discretion whether or not to populate it with his family photos or to write something about astrology.
It is quite clear that this 'sweet' is not really sweet and it is quite apparent that this person is not a stranger to the writer....definitely not...Watch out Guru !
Pls refrain from such comments in the future.
