Anacreon(born ca. 570 BC) was a Greek lyric poet, notable for his drinking songs and hymns.Anacreon wrote all of his poetry in the ancient Ionic dialect. Like all early lyric poetry, it was composed to be sung or recited to the accompaniment of music, usually the lyre.Anacreon's poetry touched on universal themes of love, infatuation, disappointment, revelry, parties, festivals, and the observations of everyday people and life.

To post or not to post?

Ok,my first post. I have refrained from blogging so far because I really didn't know what a good first blog would be. But three events over the last week have made me finally add myself to the blogosphere.
1. The Jessica Lall murder case- The apathy shown towards justice is straight out of the Bollywood movies. But then our movies are to some extent representative of the decadence of our society.The verdict is not just a slap on the face of the Lalls but also on all the ordinary Indians who still have faith in the country's system.
2. Mr. Bush's visit to India. When the US is still so guarded about the Nuclear discussions with India, I don't see anything fruitful coming out of this.And God have mercy on the people stuck in traffic jams in Delhi when we play the perfect host to Mr. Dubya.
3. Supreme Court's decision of not allowing media to disclose any content from the Amar Singh tapes. Can't comment on that , can I?
