Let’s Story
Many a-times I sit and stare at this empty text box. All those ideas I had floating about in shower seem to get stuck in my throat or my fingertips for that matter.
And this has directed me towards bringing back a cliche - collaborative storytelling.
The idea is simple.
We collaborate on a story, which I start with my next post.
Lets try and keep it going for as long as possible. There’s no monetary benefit, there’re no promises. I’m doing because I feel there are others like me who have story ideas but cannot, for whatever reason, finish them. I will, however, use all the contacts I have to promote our story. Unlike Fight club there are a few, very few rules.
The rules are simple as well:
1. Read the last post and continue, logically.
2. Mail your posts/links/pics, etc to: letsstory@gmail.com and I will update the blog.
3. Do not post your continuation as a comment. Please. Pretty please.
4. This is not a trolling ground.
5. You can reply with videos, audio, photographs and/or text. But, your content will be moderated. No porn, nothing offensive, anything that doesn’t fit the larger picture will be removed/edited.
6. I reserve all such rights, but this is a democracy. We can arrive at a consensus.
I’ll update this post with other rules as and when I come upon them.
For now, let’s just go!
Remember, mail your continuation to: letsstory@gmail.com
Re-birth
Earlier this morning, with a strong dose of caffeine and some unbridled enthusiasm served cold, I decided to start blogging again. I figured that I wanted to blog about the things I’m constantly on about. The first – rock n’ roll. The second – the Internet and its communities. The Third – everything else.
To those who do not know me – I’m Ganesh Krishnaswamy.
I love clichés, I love my ESP F-104 bass, I love my Sansamp Bass Driver DI and beer, photography, travelling, movies and everything else a 31 year old trips on today. I hate complicated sentences/workplaces. I live in Bangalore. A dynamic city that is shedding its skin and donning the role of IT Big Brother this side of the Greenwich Meridian. When I’m not working as a community manager with The Cover Story, I play bass and perform with my band Parachute XVI and spew out some stoner-doom-thrash with Bevar Sea. And, no, I’m not a geek in the technical sense of the word, but I love what they do.
I’m going to use this space to express my points-of-view, engage with like-minded people, share my thoughts and ideas, hold debates…well, you get the idea. If you have the stomach for extreme music, rabidly active internet communities and general riffage, stay tuned.
