For starters, views expressed in this post as well as subsequent posts (if I bring myself to write any) are solely mine and does not reflect anyone's opinion or anything else. I know it doesnt really make a difference because people rarely read disclaimers but what gives.

Finally I managed to write my first post. I decided on this title after a exhaustive elimination process ( some of the titles which made it, but rejected to avoid duplicate included sine-qua-non( my fave), ephemeral panacea so on and so forth). But this word remained indelible since it reflected my perspective on awareness and expression.

Zeitgeist is a german phrase which means spirit of time. I will let wikipedia take over from here in elucidating more about it.

I remember telling SS that blogging's for software professionals, and they get paid for it. It was meant as a joke and not to ruffle some feathers. I humbly ate my words after following a lot of writing over the last few months. I was moved, inspired, angered, amused and motivated by a lot of them, which made me realise there is more to blogging than knowing about how someone's colleague picks his nose and slurps his coffee.

I percieve the writing I follow as a reflection of an individual's character and spirit,indefatigable in their own way. This is why I decided to be part of the zeitgeist.

Do I have to do this? I'll know the answer soon..till then let me wallow.

This post is dedicated to my jawan buddy, who knew what he wanted and worked his way to get it. Lieutenant body, we are proud of u.
