Sanjeev rushed from his house towards Ratan's, newspaper in hand.

Ratan rushed from his towards Sanjeev's, newspaper in hand.

Midway, on the busy street, they met.

"The news, you read it?" Sanjeev asked.

"Yes. Who hasn't?"

"What do you think?"

"Crap. All of it, crap."

"Really?"

Next to them a cycle belled angrily, as if the road was all his. They bustled to the side-walk and waved him on.

"Why?"

"You believe it? You're usually a sceptic about all these new scientific findings. You, old man, sir, prefer old school science."

"That's very judge-mental."

An old motorbike, the type which needs to be pedaled at on an incline, wheezed beside them up the slope, but a car blared its passage, leaving the motorbike straggling, and it had to be pushed at to reach the high end.

"What do you found you're judgments on?"

"The science park," Ratan laughed, "You knew shit about genetics. Remember? I won't be surprised if you say 'Hey, what's all this about quantum physics, nuclear science? Don't you believe in the five elements any more?' !" He began laughing again.

A truck dominated the road, and a car horned madly while he shifted gears on the slope. Some day, with all the nanotechnology, perhaps trucks wouldn't be needed at all, and extremely compact, extremely economical devices would be used. Yet sometimes it was useful to have big things just in case...

"And what has made you such a skeptic of modern science?"

Ratan didn't answer immediately. "This doesn't fit into the puzzle."

"Oh, but it does. You get the same newspaper, you would have read the same article as me. The article explains it fully."

"I don't know..."

The news: Dinosaur fossil carbon-14 dated to approx. 3rd century BC

Introduction

The point of a blog , in a most untimely way, with the manners of a most beastly devil, completely escapes me. I am sorry about this.

It seems best now to simply guess to the treasure, as a treasure it indeed will be to put a cage to such a line of thought and end the mystery. Now the guess: perhaps the point of a blog is connected with the human tendency towards altruistic nature, that many of us want to tell others about interesting things, useful things, but, as psychologists are finding evidence to support, for the mere need to be noticed.

Now that was a guess. And you know how some guesses are, right? Bad.

Not to say that that was necessarily bad, as there is psychological evidence to support it.

***

Now what you have read above is the beginning of this blog. The point of a beginning is to satisfy the point of what is to come and also to bring interest and intrigue into the mind of the reader. Now ask your self whether I have satisfied the demands of the above descriptions...

And reason...

...No, not at all.

Well, I really am disconcerted by this, but I won't mention the fact that I did ask you to do the above, so forget it. I really did ask you to do all that, I really did, I mean *really!* I really asked you to do it, and take the blame for the harm it may have caused you. I apologise most blatantly for your inconvenience.

So now I must establish what this blog is about, and deprive you of some information so that you find this intriguing. This blog is going to contain whatever words I possess, jumbled up into a random order, making sense, eventually summarising into passages which you can read, but I don't know if you'll ever get anything from it at all; and with these words I have accomplished the first aspect of a beginning. After these words I have mistakenly erased some words which were to come and have also taken intervals out of some letters from some r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r rr r r r r

Was that convincing? I just pressed the spacebar and r at inconsistent intervals, which make it all the more unconvincing, as I pressed two Rs in a row. Which word have you seen with two Rs straight?

If you have read so far, past all this nonsense, then there must have been something which made you read it. Actually was there?

The point is now as we have come to know the aspects of the Beginning, and I have tried my *here-comes-a-lie* best efforts to make a good beginning to my probably unsuccessful blog, but that's for you to decide, and I won't tell you the obvious way-out, to save words on my part; and here comes the end of the beginning. Now maybe you're wondering what the intrigue that has been promised to you will be fulfilled, but don't get disappointed as it comes here: (in spite of all that I have written about telling you what you should do) you must wonder whether the rest of my blog is going to be so badly written as this???
