The Lone Footballer
Time is the one thing I never take very seriously. Things just happen for me. It’s a disgrace to corrupt the purity of old memories by embellishing them with useless details like date, time and the temperature of the day. But since I am a very logical person and have this habit of keeping things in order, I have to give some order to the editorial milestones of my life. Not quite a chronology but almost it.
Now as the word blogging has almost replaced ‘diary writing’, I can take the liberty to say I have been blogging for the past 3 years. Ideas change and therefore people change. The causality is reversed most of the times, but that’s beside the point. The point is I have changed a lot and you will observe the change through my posts. But again, I have this stupid habit of changing my past, something I did shamelessly in writing my resume for the summer placements. So I revisit my articles and make changes to them to make them conform to my present style. For example the opening paragraph was added and an entire paragraph was done away with just before I put up this blog.
Talking about chronology, that’s how I got the inspiration to write ‘The Lone Footballer’. ‘The lone footballer’, the article serves as the datum in the chronology of the posts. All articles written before I thought of creating ‘the lone footballer’ are BLF and all those written afterwards are ALF.
The paragraph which was deleted offered some kind of a rationalization for the name I have chosen for my blog. Since the explanation was not essential to the purpose of this article I had to remove it.
Reality experienced first hand is curious but is limited. Pure fiction on the other hand lacks the autobiographical element, it doesn’t speak much about the author….may be there is no such thing as pure fiction. The stories in my blog are therefore a mix of real life and my imagination. Degrees vary!
