This blog is about ideas. Simple ideas put across in plain text. Ideas on writing, personal growth, the web, media, and being an average Joe in our world. My name is Vijayendra Mohanty and I write this blog for you.
But who are you?
You are the office-goer, the newspaper-reader, the parent, the student, the bus/train-taker. You are the business-owner, the buyer, the consumer, and the voter. You are the one who makes it all work. And you are more than all of it put together. This blog intends to help you discover parts of you and your world. Little by little. One hint at a time.
And who am I?
My name is Vijayendra Mohanty. But I like to think I am more than just a name. I have been a copywriter and a journalist and I know I am none of those things either.
I was born and brought up in a town called Cuttack in Orissa and have walked this Earth for 26 years. I have lived in Assam, Chennai, Mumbai and Delhi. How does all this matter?
I have studied in schools and under teachers well qualified subjects such as literature, history, political science, logics, and economics. But there were others who did the same.
I am a Hindu and a believer, but those labels don’t help much. I like to mull matters related to faith, inspiration, and God. I write stories sometimes. But I am sure there are many people who must do that too, so there goes that angle.
I have, in my time, been angry, sad, poisonous and vengeful. I have wallowed in self-pity and I have judged. I have also loved and tried to be kind. I have learnt to forgive and I have learnt to say ‘thank you’. But I just might as well be describing you with all this.
I am the thinker of thoughts that choose me. I am the teller of stories that choose me to be their teller. I am, otherwise, just a name, just a body, and a lot of labels.
