Cutting the ribbon

Ok here goes nothing. What you see here is the combined effort of two people. Two people who on their own were very enthusiastic about blogging but somehow never succeeded in maintaining one. The poor victimized blogs met this fate probably due to time constraints, regular exams or mere laziness. Or maybe, at the end of the day, there was nothing to write about. The two persons being me, Sara Q and my charming co-author, Talha A. B.

A blog, according to me is an opinion, a reflection of inner thoughts and ideas that we’re willing to post on the World Wide Web, thereby declaring it open to the world. A blog is not a diary; it can never be a diary. Those who treat it like one might never desire to reveal their true identity to the world. Somehow exposed identities and dirty laundry are not mutually exclusive. But then again, it’s a world of exceptions. Exceptions WHO usually need therapy I must add.

In short, a diary is a diary, to be guarded away from the eyes of even the most loyal confidante; probably hidden in the depths of some mattress. Let us not break such a tradition because at the end of the day everyone has issues, spur of the moment anger, bitterness and well a sudden high vocabulary for swear words.

Anyway back to our blog. It contains or will contain the amalgamated and separate thoughts of two individuals. On what you may ask?

Anything; ranging from everyday life (read food, friends, likes dislikes and gossip)to sports, politics, philosophy, psychoanalysis, sociology, arts, science, literature, music, movies, media followings, theology, beliefs, events, etc. It’s like one big potpourri.

Describing oneself with a musical genre is difficult but once done is most effective. Put in the fact that all other decent blog names were taken. The way in which ideas for this blog were presented, rejected and ultimately narrowed down was nothing short of a comedy flick as described by my co-author himself. Add in the fact that a conflict of opinions usually resides between two people and this won’t be any different. Thus the title, almost similar in meaning yet different in context.

And so several dialogues later, here we are; trying our luck on blogging yet another time. Please feel free to express your thoughts on our theories of sorts. The theories of two individuals with a background in Accounting and Finance. This is mentioned to tell you that later posts will originate more from general observation and experience than textbook knowledge.

Anyway, I said it once and I’ll say it again; here goes nothing!

P.S : Pleasure, Talha. And yeah I'm sure by now they've gotten what you meant by my signature 'long posts' :)
