Akshayam..The First Step

In Mahabharata once Dushashana tried to strip the cloths of Draupadi. But as Krishna was her brother she remembered him at once uttering the word "Akshayam" and Lord Krishna saved her dignity. The magical word "Akshayam" carries the meaning Unlimited or a thing that never can be ceased. So you may be have the idea why I have chosen the name "Akshayam Shruta". 

In the pursuit of boundless intellectual vistas, I found myself grappling with the whimsical quandaries that accompany the genesis of a blog. Questions, both amusing and perplexing, besieged my contemplative mind: What shall be inscribed upon the digital parchment? How ought I christen this reservoir of thoughts? In this cognitive conundrum, an epiphany dawned upon me - an open canvas for an unbridled intellectual expedition.

Forsooth, open domains, be they realms of cognition or matters of the heart, possess an allure that surpasses all. Openness, the cardinal virtue of unrestricted expanses, beckons like an inviting field ripe for exploration.

A peculiar penchant has, since my nascent days, propelled me towards the extraordinary. A fervor for the avant-garde, an inclination for the "hattke," as it were, has coursed through the corridors of my being. Fueled by the joy derived from the craft of prose and the allure of quizzes, I embarked upon this odyssey of a blog, harboring the anticipation that it would serve as an elixir, bestowing upon me the surplus energy derived from the inexhaustible fount of knowledge.

Pray, allow me to elucidate upon the boundless expanse of knowledge—an ocean from which a mere droplet, plucked with intention, brings forth negligible alteration. Verily, one drop procured from the font of sagacity shan't quench the insatiable thirst for enlightenment. The pursuit of learning, my dear interlocutor, is an unending odyssey that persists until the very curtain of mortality descends. 

I beg your indulgence in two preliminary caveats: firstly, an admission of my impoverished grasp of the English language bereft of any fanciful expressions, and secondly, a forewarning that my narratives shall traverse the spectrum from lengthy tales to succinct anecdotes, from erudite articles to concise informational vignettes, and from pensive musings to intellectual quizzes. 

Alas, my humble offering must forego the lyrical allure of poetry, as it eludes my grasp. Pray, endure my verbosity, for it is in the crucible of diverse forms that I aspire to mold my ruminations into articles of some aesthetic merit. No luminary, be it Einstein or Newton, sprang forth from the womb with innate genius. Rather, it is the crucible of thought and unquenchable curiosity that forges great minds. In this contemporary epoch, three facets must not be undervalued: knowledge, curiosity, and, most importantly, self. Let us not diminish the profound significance of these tripartite elements in navigating the labyrinth of the 21st-century world.
