simple naughts? simple nots? or is it simple knots??

as I start this blog today, am reminiscing about what delayed my decision all these years to finally enter the blog-verse and type down my thoughts. why did I ignore the age-old suggestion by one of my erstwhile teachers, or the continuous prompting (with sound reasoning) of a close friend? I love to write and have been composing verses since long, and yet I was at a standstill when they asked me to blog. didn’t I feel the need with all the pent-up emotions hidden inside, or was it simply because the privacy of my thoughts would have been breached? maybe it was simply the laziness…

but as fate would have it, here I am, after a delayed start. however, the toughest question this time was not to blog, but what should be the name??

perhaps something that should represent my perception about the mysteries hidden in basic day-to-day aspects & phenomenon of life making these simple things ‘simple-nots’.
or maybe I was more intrigued by how the magnitude of the severe difficulties & problems faced by individuals including yours truly, would come crashing down just by a plain yet innovative idea, making these enormous issues rather ‘simple knots’.
I was feeling fine with either of the two names, but then it hit me all of a sudden during an indicative dialogue.

when am perceiving, observing or analysing something and writing about it, it has to go through my thought process. however, the subject or entity may be having its own unique characteristics as well. so the blog should represent both its uniqueness and universality, as well as my own feelings about it – starting from nothing, developing on its own, gaining momentum, growing, reaching a crescendo, stagnating, and then dying down...to give rise to a new one repeating the cycle…over and over again…

and when the series starts replicating itself in all the universe, everything becomes – ‘simple naughts’ – initiating from point zero, attaining initial growth, becoming complex, achieving its peak, and finally disintegrating back to point zero…as a new chain of this series commences…

my dear fellows, I present you with “simple naughts”.

your thoughts are always welcome...
