El Buscador to Earth : Beginning Transmission...

To use, a done-to-death cliche, Welcome to my blog peeps.

After ages of lazy contemplation and eons of putting-off, interspersed with exam-interference and bouts of writer's block, that exalted day of release of my blog has come. Finally.

For those curious about the name and rightly so, El Buscador quite literally means " The Seeker" or "The Searcher" or "The Search Engine" or whatever you may... Basically personifies my character - always seeking something, be it a higher meaning to life, a new scientific concept, the truth about Atif, a name for this blog, my favourite pair of fuzzy socks, a long-lost interest in Math, that evasive scrap of memory of where i stowed my reminder list for tomorrow, need I continue?
Just for the record, this blog might have just as easily been called El Cazador which is the Spanish title for my best pal Orion the Hunter, but that would've sounded too Amazon Warrior-esque. Had even considered No Hay Igual, literally meaning "There is no equal", wrenched from one of the paciest and raciest (सलाम to those who thought I was talking of the Apartheid there) Spanish songs I've heard, by Nelly Furtado.
And of course all this stems from my new latest fixation with Spanish lingo and everything allied.

To tell you the truth, unfortunate reader of all this zilch, I don't get the point of writing and maintaining a blog as everybody else sees it. As in, why in the wide wide world, would YOU want to know what's going on in my mind and brain. It is, after all, to be rather blunt, none of your effing business (cheers to Ronald Weasley for having taught me this unique way of replacing bleeps). Well, why then, have I so enthusiastically taken up this project? Hmm... Good question. The thing is, I'm like one of those gems that has myriad faces (faces, spelt without an 'e'). And the face of that gem which calls itself a writer has threatened to sue if I ever let it rot like I was forced to in the name of the academic rat race all these years.

Anyway, here I am, boring you, boring the world in general, creating large amounts of entropy in the Universe (all hail Stephen Hawking).

So I think I'll stop for now, this is El Buscador signing off. Check back soon.

P.S. Pretty good start, dontcha think? It's ok, you don't need to give me a standing ovation...
