So, as all of you know, I am the author and admin of the blog : Sir Isaac Newton - The Freak(http://newtonthefreak.blogspot.in/). Many of my followers and readers told me that it's time I start blogging about something more informal, something fresh. Hence, I present to you DAIQUIRI.
Most of you must be wondering what the hell is up with my blog title. Daiquiri, you know, is a cocktail made of rum, lime juice, sugar (sometimes honey) and berries. But I'm trying to underline it's metaphorical meaning here.
The blog description says it all.
How did I come up with this wonderful title? In fact, I didn't.
Let me narrate to you a small story behind this title.
In my 11th std., we were given a notice board kinda thing and were asked to decorate it with articles and paintings (Yes, my college is pretty dumb). The core team for this assignment comprised around 12 people and the only thing that was awesome about this project was that we didn't have to attend classes for around 4 days. Christmas was round the corner and so we decided that a major part of the board would be allocated for the story of Jesus Christ's birth.
We got a huge response from our fellow classmates who gave in beautiful paintings and articles about science, sports, etcetra. Of course we could not disappoint their hard work by not displaying those posts. Hell no.
Dilemma - We wanted one single theme, but turned out we had articles ranging from Christmas, college life, sports, food, science, humor and what not!
Okay, we shall put up all these articles.
But what about the title people?
Dictionary in hand, glasses on nose, start searching for the most awesome and apt word.
My friend (Mahima) and I were looking through the D's and we come across this word - Daiquiri. My first reaction, I don't even know how to pronounce it :P
But then Mahima was struck by a brilliant thought and yelled, "GUYS! METAPHORRRR!"
And, hence the title.
Unfortunately, our lecturers couldn't comprehend the intended meaning and instead told us off for "thinking about alcohol in this age" (Like, seriously?).
Daiquiri was misunderstood and discarded. But it's memories still remain.
I therefore dedicate this blog to the wonderful time we had in creating Daiquiri and also to all you readers for appreciating my work in my parallel blog.
Cheers!
