The Quintessential Critic!

I needed a makeover. At least on the blog. The first thing that struck me as odd was the title of the blog. I wanted the title to reflect a part of me at least, if not my complete personality. So, the new header, ‘The Quintessential Critic’.

Having an opinion – a strong one at that (it might change with time though), getting into a debate, questioning and analysing anything that arouses my interest – from mundane to the profound – are some traits that make me, me. And, the number of things that tickle my interest are many. Hence I thought this header would suit me fine. As I notice the posts on my blog, the thread that links many of these posts is my critical observations (they could be self-critical or critical of other people or issues). I wouldn’t yet call my thoughts as ‘insight’. It sure is insight to me despite them not being either original or new.

The change of header also was warranted as I’ve chosen now to post a few reviews of things that I read, watch or listen – trying to make my blog reflect me and my views as much as possible.

There might be a makeover again as I mellow down and as I begin to understand and accept diverse views/theories about a subject. What would I call myself then? Interesting and will ponder over this for the next few days.
