There's a reason for everything.. well almost... I was just reminded of these annoying 10th standard kids who twisted up and found/created loopholes in everything that I said... so there's a reason for almost everything.
Reason reasons...
The reason for this post - I made the blog look like what it does now, this afternoon. I don't know if you like it. But I do. :D Very happy with it actually. And unconsciously a lot of thought went into it (OK, that sounds contrast-y but it makes sense, alright?) so it seemed like a waste to not have someone else know, or not have the possibility that someone might know.. (Interpret how you may)
Smitshafthain - Smitsh and Afthain. Two of the most important guys in my life, who together make up a huuuge part of me. I love this name! Smitshaftain, despite people invariably mispronouncing it and screwing up their faces while reading it for the first time, like they're being gagged or force-fed some disgusting medicine. It's unique, it sounds cool, it makes me happy just looking at it! :)
Kilmill - It's one of my favorite nicknames, I'm not called often by it. My father called me that when I was tiny, still does on rare occasions. I was crazy about nicknames when I was a little little kid. I was upset that I didnt have an official nickname for kids to call me by in school.. screwed up tiny kid brains.. I had many ranging, from Kkutty to simple-timple to Kilmill, all courtesy Achan. Later I realized how awesome my nicknames were especially when compared to those ammu's and achu's and.. eugh the worst - KALLU! (My apologies and sympathies to all the Ammu-Achu-Malu-etc people out there.) I mean, people just assume that they have some god-given right to call every girl named Kalyani, Kallu. Like I said.. Eeuughhh! Horrible name - Kallu.
Kilmill is even more cool, coz it has mill from Millennium in it.. Hehe, Millennium will always be a part of me!
The black and purple background - I love black! My room is black.. it's not depressing or hot, I love being there. And I love black with bright blue zapping through it. That's what I was looking for initially but then I found the black-purple thing, I usually stay away from pink and purple and the sort, but this caught my eye and it made the black look even better, more mysterious. It also gave me the sense of being taken into a different dimension, galaxy thing.. so that means it's special. Anything that takes me to those places is... Or maybe it's a family thing. My mother's book called A Swish of Violet, it's cover has the same colours. :D If you're into poems, go check it out. It's കട്ട! ("katta!" meaning "Solid!" in the sense that it's real cool)

Hey Amma, my black becomes more awesome with your swish of violet! :D
The dandelions - My attention span is like a dandelion when it comes to most things like what I write, for example; I get bored writing about something, so I twist it into something entirely different and end it.. Also, I like dandelions. Plus if we're going with the my mind-dandelion thing, I like to think that my thoughts are free and flying around all over the place like the fluffy seeds. Hehe, I like that imagery. Nice and light and airy. I wish I were a dandelion seed.
Hmm what else?
Why am I here? - Coz I like writing. I've just realized that I don't honestly care if people read it and think I'm geeky or cool, whichever (although this is something I claimed a long time back). And because when I started I had more fun than I imagined I would have. Also because my father was excited when I told him about me blogging and that was more encouragement that anything else. Thank ya Acha!
