Posrcard #1 - The First Hello

A word of introduction is called for here.

This blog is intended to be a series of postcards ala Raymond Chandler. I am actually no avid admirer of his and in fact I profess to have near to no knowledge of this great man's work; having read only one of his books( The Long Goodbye - you will see the reflection in the title of the post) and come across two of his limericks by means of hearsay. You laugh here. It is understandable.

I came to know of his practice of writing scenes on postcards during a conversation with a near relation; he(the relation) infact having all that information on RC that I do not. So by in large his influence begins and stops right there on the blog title.

However, I hope to in the course of the lifetime of this blog to read some of that inspired individual's work and hope that under that influence the quality of my postcard descriptions takes but a turn for the better.

I conclude this by saying that if you have come here looking for a story, you are going to be disappointed. At best you can hope for flashes of light, breaths of wind and fast passing glimpses of moments that I have experienced. I like to call it the Impressionism of writing.
