Why?

Hello,

In this first post I want to answer and explain some of the questions that may be occurring to you.

One of the most simple questions is regarding the reasons for this blog. They are simple. I'm looking for a better outlet (for all kinds of crap) than a social networking site. Also, I don't want to force anything on anyone and thus with this blog, I can continue with my life and those who fancy spending their valuable time in the company of my words can do so at their own free will.

Why now? Simple again. This is more of an issue of vanity actually. I have been looking for a suitable name for a blog for quite some time now and this blog was created the day I thought of christening a blog "Cerebral Inertia".

Which brings us to the final question I can think of at the moment. What is "Cerebral Inertia"?
Your trusty Oxford English Dictionary will tell you this -

cerebral |səˈrēbrəl; ˈserəbrəl|
adjective
1 of the cerebrum of the brain : a cerebral hemorrhage | the cerebral cortex.
• intellectual rather than emotional or physical : photography is a cerebral process.

inertia |iˈnər sh ə|
noun
1 a tendency to do nothing or to remain unchanged : the bureaucratic inertia of government.

From here, it wouldn't take a genius to put it together. A little thought though, will guide you deeper down the rabbit-hole. I feel that apart from the shameless indulgence in laziness of the highest order, inertia symbolises me in another aspect too. It describes my idiosyncrasy of staying on and mulling over subjects when I'm supposed to be moving on, and additionally, of thinking too far ahead instead of just giving something a rest. I feel thus, that Cerebral Inertia means over-activity (which, admittedly, is wasteful), instead of under-activity or even judicious activity.

I realise now, that this is turning into a tiresome rant, and so I'll leave you at that for now. For a lack of better words, I'll end with something I just thought of

"The reasons for love, the limits of liberty, the capacity of genius and the extent of ignorance were never meant to be measured."

Cheers,
Aayush.
