Tilt 23.5 is born on the 29th of January 2008.
Allow me to explain why I chose such an odd name for the blog. 23.5 degrees is the amount the earth's axis of rotation is tilted from the vertical.
"So what ? " you might ask. While this tilt may cause us to think of it as an "imperfection", it does lend a variety to the planet - seasons, solstices, equinoxes et al.
I wanted to convey the same thoughts. There is always a mix of imperfections and beauty in our lives. We have greed, poverty, irrationality on one hand. On the other, we have art, literature, sciences. A curious mix of failures and achievements of our race.
I plan to examine topics of interest which cover both categories, on these pages. Till then, mind the tilt !!
