One month from now,
On a cold foggy winter morning,
I'll be gone.
Gone from BITS.
Gone from my greatest source of joy.
Man o' man! It's been two years since I started blogging.
One look at my posts in Nov 2004 left me shocked. The language, the content, totally smeared with immaturity. Left me feeling sorry for myself!
It's just been two years, but the maturity that has come along with it, is what makes these two years seem twenty. Probably, the last one year accounts for 19 out of those 20.
Some administrivia:
- All posts in By-Two Kaapi will now be tagged with a snap/pic.
- By-Two Kaapi 2.0 release is scheduled for Jan 2007. ['ts gonna be fun, mate!]
Redemption: An illusion

Dali conveys it best, in one of his illustrations in Dante's Inferno. One can seek redemption, but is never awarded so. One shall seek it for the rest of his/her life.
Have you wondered: When you sinned, and later resolved that you shall never do it again - it is just you who has awarded redemption to yourself. To the whole world, you are still the sinner.
Once a sinner, always a sinner.
[The painting is an illustration of Bertran de Born, who was supposed to have spent all his time in hell, holding his head as a lantern, to seek redemption for his sins]
