No Longer BekarAnand Philip's Blog

My father is one of the best teachers I have ever studied under. His signature style, be it in writing or teaching is simplicity, often leading people to think he does not know much. But those who care to read or listen  carefully would realize that his 3 Doctorates are not fake and that a great depth of knowledge and wisdom hides in his simple language.

In his words, “if the ass (like in donkey) in the room does not understand what I am teaching, I am not doing a good job”. He has written extensively and though most of his writing has been in theology, he has a great corpus of material on many other fields from physics (his second PhD), and numismatics (his latest love) to writing.

Over a period of the next 2 months I will be editing and re-shaping 400 odd pages of  writing advice that he has written over the last 15 years. As I edit, I will be putting it up, mostly for free, on a new site we are jointly launching.

There is a serious lack of established Indian authors who can guide a younger generation in the art of writing and teaching. Hopefully with this site and a series of ebooks, Dad will pitch in to do his bit.

A bit more about him.

I am working on a multi part series on the major arguments against homosexuality, and the first part will be up soon. The topics I will be covering are:

• Is homosexuality unnatural
• Is it a disease,
• Is it just about the sex,
• Does it lead to moral decay
• Will such a law lead to increase in HIV?AIDS

BUT: I will be posting it on a NEW blog, dedicated to all matters of the mind, from beauty to business.

I have been trying unsuccessfully to write my first blog post on this Blog. I wanted to explain why I am starting so many new blogs and particularly why I was dumping The Blog of Dysfunction which has been my main outlet of writing and connecting for the last five years.

Unfortunately as soon as I power up my word processor, all my ideas scuttle away, much like cockroaches when you turn the lights on.

So this is a meta post, a post about my in-ability to write a post. But since I am here and the words seem to be not too constipated, I am going to brave my demons and list all the stuff I want to blog about on this blog, which has no cool name yet.

I want to write about why I cant write under the header of the Blog Of Dysfunction; in short because I am no longer dysfunctional.

I want to post book reviews, I have read over fifty books in the last year. Not counting the numerous free ebooks on the net and pirated ebooks books

I want to write about what I have learnt in what is definitely the most eventful year of my life so far.

I want to write about my travel experiences and share photos.

I want to write about my hospital (I dont own it, I just work there) and its needs and my dreams for its future.

Basically, this will be more or less another narcissistic personal blog. But since its me who is doing the writing, it will be profound, subtle and light at the same time.

Yep, y’all are in for a great ride. So wish me luck and tighten the seat belts, itsss sssstory time!!!
