a new blog

a few days ago i began writing a new blog. the idea is old, but i started working on it a few months ago by trying to write the skeleton of a book. i figured since the book is a non-ficiton work and pretty much reflects my understanding of the world around me and the fact that i like to teach and talk bullshit, lets put it as bite size information on a web log. as a teacher i realized that teachers are so boring that i stopped going to class myself. teaching and learning only became interesting when i brought some reality of my or the reader's everyday life into focus. not just that, students these days and surely in the past too do not like to read more than they have to. so if the goal is to have people enlightened in different ways, what better way to achieve that than some interesting short educational anecdotes.
i mean as a biology student or even as a living organism that may want to have some casual banter over a beer wouldn't you want to know how long a bell pepper can stay in your fridge, how good three month old eggs taste and more importantly why their shells seem to thicken up, why does red bull make me shoot through my vent...
well, I started this blog in cyber space. its new and not public yet, unless u find it. but as it builds up so will my book and surely that blog will have a good viewership.
