Cheers to Stella James for helping me create this blog. To anybody who stumbles upon this much delayed attempt at a blog: her's can be found at http://thebigpinkhat.blogspot.in/. She says it's personal. I'm advertising it nonetheless.
As for me, technologically illiterate, I decided to start this blog many years after blogging became the thing to do, on a whim this morning. This is in keeping with the trend (my trend) so far of joining popular, technology-related things just a little bit late (read: years after everyone else has already moved on to the latest rage and a kind friend takes the time to fill me in). First email ID, rather imaginatively and embarrassingly titled, 'rimi_darkchocolate', was created in 2006, at age 16. By then, everybody I knew had been chatting away online every night for at least a year already. Apparently, I had been missing out on a number of important developments taking place in that hidden world. The account no longer exists. Facebook account created at the insistence of Aastha Khurana in 2008, first year of college. I say, 'at her insistence...'. To be precise, she made it for me. Twitter--joined November 2011 during exams and have not visited since. Finally, a blog, today: October 2012. With the aid and assistance of Stella James.
It may be noted that the name of this blog is my homage to Bianca Castafiore, the 'Milanese Nightingale' of Tintin fame. On google-ing the name, I learnt that there actually exists an opera titled 'Faust' with a real 'Jewel Song' (Ah! My beauty!). Silly me.
Prayer to self: Be regular with this. It seems fun.
