I don’t really know what to call this. I guess the most apt description would be that this is my blog/ journal/ sounding board/ time capsule/ safe space/ dumping ground for opinions that I can cringe at a year later. As someone who started out as an Aerospace Engineer, converted to a Physicist who’s now researching Microsystems – it’s fair to say I know a little bit about a lot of different things leading to naturally ill-informed and poorly structured opinions and this is where I put them just so I can reflect upon it a couple of years later and pat myself on the back for getting better. The validation that comes from you, a third person reading this is just a sweet, sweet bonus.

Regarding the name…Why Fourth Wall?

Regarding the tags…

Rants – This is why I started writing. Sometimes you get so much stuff in your head and you just can’t sleep without getting it all out? Those come under rants. I usually start with a topic, mostly triggered by Facebook posts/memes/current events/something a character said on a TV show and ramble on until I justify the topic or completely turn against it. The mystery stays alive till the end.

#hhmm# Poetry – I never saw myself as a poet. What started as a one-time thing soon became an avenue of release when things got overwhelming. I tag it with the time of when I begin to write it and it is best read at that very same time, usually in the 1am – 4am bracket.

Fondue – These are sometimes poems, sometimes little imaginary scenarios in the style of all the Terribly Tiny Tales/ Microtales on Facebook and Instagram. The first time I wrote one, I was worried if it was too cheesy but then decided to embrace it and called it ‘fondue’ ’cause it’s cheesy and makes you melt. You get it.

101 – These are fun fluff pieces where I try to put you in an introvert’s state of mind while doing extremely menial tasks, like getting a haircut or sitting in a crowded train. Most people think being introverted is a choice and can be defined by ‘shy’ or ‘quiet’ but that’s not the case and I hope this series gives you a tiny window into what it feels like to be one.

Captain’s log #ddmmyyyy# – These are personal experiences that happened to yours truly. Your typical personal blog content. Like my personal diary.

Storyboards – The one section of this blog that I’ll probably be very proud of in the long term. These don’t come to me often but when they do I write them in one sitting and pretty much hit ‘publish’ on the very first draft. Short (reasonably) stories that usually branch out of r/WritingPrompts or a random ‘what if?’ that lingers in my head long enough to gather some substance. These also include the serialized fictional stories of my very talented brother, who goes by i_wanderer, after I forced him to publish his stories here from the well established pages of Wattpad.

Nerdgasm – Usually the train of thought that follows a video or an article about something very nerdy that I found online. I read about aliens a lot. So…yeah. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
