An Archived Note of Admiration
While I prefer being a reculse in this unfrequented corner of the cyber-ia - mainly because I have nothing interesting to say, in a consistent fashion, to the imagined and real 'blog' readership, and more important say it well (in marketing speak, the blog is not the product), I admire the work of bloggers like Amardeep Singh, who manage to unearth marvels and curiosities for all of us, the unwashed blogging masses, in posts such as this one on Ramo Samee, an Indian juggler in 19th century Britain.
So I left him this note:
Hi Amardeep,
I have enjoyed your very well written blog since I 'discovered' it a few months ago - so much so that I used it as an example of how blogs, in spite of their inherent limitations, can serve are unseful stations for thoughts departure in a recent conversation with a friend who doesn't care much for this medium. The example I used was the obscure connections you unearthed for us reader between Tagore and Latin America, via Silvina Ocampo. And this post further supports such claims on my part.
Keep them coming! :)
PS: Also coincidentally I read this poem on juggling in Richard Wilbur's "Collected Poems" earlier today.
