Letting the world know

It is somehow easy to let the thoughts flow on this blog than on a personal diary --- somehow the anonymity the internet offers you is too precious to waste --- it must be guarded completely and diligently. So, this blog hasn't given anything away all these 2-3 years (although scarce little has been written anyway), and it will not.

The point of this post is different, actually. The thing is: I was wondering how many of us actually disguise references in our blogs: leave hidden messages, veiled references to events and things and other stuff on things we do or write or speak publicly. Take a radio jockey for example: he or she can leave a lot of hidden messages in the way they speak, tease friends, play the favourite songs of somebody, or even just speak the damn thing out! The question is, how many actually do that? I bet many do. But how many of us actually get the references, the jokes, etc?

I tried dropping some references in some of the conversations I was having with a group of people some days ago. One friend who I was targetting actually gave me a quick look as I kept cutting jokes and laughing in the merry of the group. And that brought a slanted smile on my face: mission accomplished!

I might try this on the blog as well, but first I need to get some people to read it. Haven't had any comments till now, and I really doubt if any of the first readers of the blog remember about it anyway. I would be sort of happy if they don't, because then this would be completely anonymous ---- something I wanted all along. Till then, take care and get a hold on yourselves. The black king shall be posting more often!
