GET INTRODUCED TO THE BEDOUINS

Welcome to The Bedouin Lounge

Yes, just that. This is where you can get to know thy neighbor. Learn what they say about themselves. Say Hi! to them on their introductory posts or visit their personal sites to chill out. Just to mention, all of us have a refrigerator in our tents with ice over-frozen on our shelves. So, whether you're thirsty or have bruised yourself, just crash in!

HIS BLOG: Who Am I? I Am ...
A Peek Inside his Tent: A doppelgänger (as in German) or fetch is the ghostly double of a living person, a sinister form of bilocation. In the vernacular, it has come to refer to any double or look-alike of a person—most commonly an "evil twin". The word is also used to describe the sensation of having glimpsed oneself in peripheral vision, in a position where there is no chance that it could have been a reflection.

A Peek Inside his Tent: You can come here and learn more about me than almost anywhere else. I post my thoughts, my creations, and my emotions here. If you want to know how I tinker, then this is the place to do it. Enjoy =)

OKAY. YOUR TURN!

PSEUDO-PHILOSOPHICAL SOUP

Welcome to The Bedouin Lounge

"The point of philosophy is to start with something so simple as not to seem worth stating, and to end with something so paradoxical that no one will believe it."

- Bertrand Russell

" What if nothing exists and we're all in somebody's dream? Or what's worse, what if only that fat guy in the third row exists?"

- Woody Allen

" I think, therefore Descartes exists."

- Saul Steinberg

I think you've already got a fair idea of what would be the general mood in this tent. If you haven't as yet, then you've perhaps been all too philosophical and my suggestion would be you stop being thus if you want to take part in this philosophical discussion. Now let me answer your queries -

What is this discussion all about?

Philosophy.

Who can take part?

All people who know little or nothing about philosophy.

How is that possible?

It's not.

Then, how do I take part?

Look, you've already started considering yourself as one of those "people who know little or nothing about philosophy". But you've still been a part of this discussion. Haven't you?


Discussing about philosophy can be fun when you assume that you know nothing about it - because it gives you infinite freedom on what to discuss and how. You don't need to remember all the "-isms" [such as rationalism, existentialism, post-structuralism, prism (oops, sorry not the last one)]. We'll create our own Pseudo-philosophical universe (yeah, whatever that word means!)

HOW TO PLAY

First of all, there would be a topic. Second of all, the entire discussion would be taking part in the comments section in form of dialogues (as in a drama). Third of all, each of you'd be playing a character - You may choose to play as yourself or any other character chosen by you (say, "The Senator" or "Spiderwoman"). In case you choose to play someone else, mention the character you're playing in your very first comment. Fourth of all, anyone can take part in this dialogue including NON-MEMBERS. Last of ... whatever's left, each discussion would run for exactly a month after which no more new comments would be allowed.

If you have any questions ask them here (as comments), otherwise move on to This Month's PSEUDO-PHILOSOPHICAL SOUP and take part. Make it funny and have fun!

"To all those who still wish to think about man, about his reign or his liberation …who still ask themselves questions about what is man in his essence…who wish to take him as their starting point in their attempts to reach the truth…to all these warped and twisted forms of reflection, we can only answer with a philosophical laugh -- which means to a certain extent, a silent one."

- Michael Foucault

SPECIAL EVENTS

Welcome to The Bedouin Lounge

Sorry! It seems we don't have any Special Events going on inside this tent.... But you can always suggest one. After all, it's you who decides on what goes on in this tent (section).

So, come on, think, think, think of something!

VISUAL GALLERY

You must do this so that I can understand that your post is meant for this section. I'll make sure, on my part that your posts are featured under the BEDOUIN VISUALS. There are no rules whatsoever.

And oh yes.... before I forget.... There's one restriction - In none of your visual media may you use colors close to ultra-violet or infra-red. The Bedouins authority have imposed a ban on them.

Welcome to The Bedouin Lounge

We welcome all your suggestions in this section. If you think this blog could be improved or some more fun and informative sections can be added to it, don't think twice to suggest it over here. Also, we're mostly looking to add SPECIAL EVENTS in which the community could participate and enjoy. So, if you have any new ideas for such, do enlighten us.

At the same time, if there's any kind of problem you're facing while posting or otherwise, this would be the right place to tell us.

There's anything else in this world that you'd like to steer our attention towards, let the voices be heard!
