“ To make a start more swift than weighty,
Hail Muse.”
- Vikram Seth, The Golden Gate
Manifold are the aims behind this BLOG,
Footage, first of all, to flow free and ample,
For the studs of H-Mezz, a remarkable sample,
For the denizens of NT Hall, temple of fun,
And for Jacobeans in memory, united as one,
Done that I am with the peoples of my alma mater,
To other aspects does the mind now cater,
Humour, churned through the millstones of life,
To music of the big city, voiced in peace and strife,
Cricket, philosophy and Akky Kumar’s antics,
Books, theatre, life, presumptuous critiques.
Anon, a lofty issue, a modest perspective,
Merely humble opinion, no fell invective,
Thus do I foresee this account to proceed,
With glances at life, or at a fair deed,
Or narratives of people, all meaning well,
Sometimes droll prose, sometimes doggerel …
