<then clicked on 'Bio', to find.... nada.> It is the collective wisdom and richness of this forum that it has survived and elicit soem credit to me however, it all goes to that long standing dictum, one should not know all the answers one should ask the right question. The questions that I am asked are richer and deep. We here provide whenever possible within our limitations a view from the balcony, the view of the world from our 'tinted glasses.' The credit is for the collective forum that we manage here. Not much to report on that count of bio , one day may be if we are able to contribute in some way something glowing to mankind benefits, at the moment nothing is on the horizon. Presently I am just trying to make that little difference, 'silence for me is the biggest sedition.' Ability to talk about injustices and being counted is most important, on that count our contributions are not rich enough to form a bio as mostly they are restricted to these pages, this SI may become part of my bio someday. Ability ot maintain a level head is the best gift of God to man, one needs to keep that level and its limitations well in sight that keeps the goals within proportions too and ambitions properly tapered. ggg To maintain a presence and continuity of 6 years on this site and patronise it is something I do take a lot of pride, this is reflection of my mind a journey through my last six years and this gives me a lot of insights as it exposes my strengths, my stubbornness and my weakness again this site is a kind of bio tool to know about my inner workings, a bio tool in some way. Bio is for bigger people, closet pseudo-intellectuals like us have these pages to share, and that on its own I totally understand is not something big to report on the bio. I hope I grow one day to be able to cross my heart and honestly ask someone to write something. Most of them time I am turn down for ideas even by my own editors that do not reflect popular appeal or can lead to potential problem. Non-conformist and unpopular positions in my part of the world are difficult situations to sell. As such I understand and wholly commit that I will always remain victim of the originality or non-conformist populist views. It is choice that I have made intentionally. Love and you take care..Good questions elicit good responses by the way.
