Virgin Blogging
This is no less than the third time I've tried blogging. The first three attempts were painfully unsuccessful, but Im genuinely motivated this time around. The desire to create this blog stems from the following reasons (1) I enjoy reading other people's blogs, (2) Its a chance for me to be really honest with myself, and (3) It gives me a place to write down these thoughts in my head.
At the outset I wanted to explain the blog title, "Unscrambled Eggs." It first struck me as a neat phrase after reading it in Vice Chancellor Parson's opinion in Deloitte v. Jose S. Lamela. The Chancellor wrote "If this [the preliminary injunction] occurs, Deloitte [the plaintiff] is likely to find it difficult to '"unscramble the eggs'"... I later googled the phrase "unscrambled eggs" and was ambivalent at the results -- fortunately it wasn't already someone's blog title, however, it is the title of a book of poetry by Nadia Brown. So Ms. Brown, if you ever stumble across my corner of the Internet, I am giving you all literary credit where due. Its a brilliant title and I've appropriated it for my own selfish use.
There will be no particular emphasis to this blog - in fact, I find it strange that I feel like I'm writing for an audience. The truth is that I may be the only one to read this as its not likely I'll share it with anyone that I know. My desire would be for random persons not within any certain degree of relationship to me to find this blog and, hopefully, enjoy it enough to continue reading it. I have found several blogs this way and continue to enjoy those to this day. If you really do enjoy the blog, I've taken the liberty to activate the RSS feed so that you may be updated with any new entries.
The reason I won't be actively soliciting readers (i.e., friends and acquaintences) is because I plan on using this as a springboard for my immediate thoughts - most of which are never vocalized. So, readers, you are my captive audience for therapy. By no means, however, should this be interpreted by you to think that I'll solely be airing grievances. I'd like this to be a place where I can share my concerns as well as a kick-ass recipe for pizza dough.
You'll come to learn that I'm slightly A.D.D. (self-diagnosed). The reason I firmly believe this is since I really enjoy many different things. Unfortunately, I also start and leave unfinished many things. I love food and travel (pretty much in that order). I enjoy reading about food, cooking it, and eating great dishes. My love of all things food stems from my family background. I hail from a very large extended family where I was, in fact, raised by my Grandparents. Family gatherings were commonplace and food was the focal point. Everyone in my family, men included, can cook very well. It would also be helpful to my readers to know that Im first generation Indian-American. My grandfather emigrated here in the early 1970's and my parents shortly thereafter. The reason this bit of information is important is that I believe my cultural background has helped me appreciate and develop my pallette for certain flavors. Although many, if not most, Indians are vegetarians, my family has always been omnivores. I was enjoying certain "delicacies" well before they were in style now in the finest french restaurants. I recall while growing up that I was embarrased to tell my (american) friends that I had a dinner which consisted of liver, gizzards, lamb, goat, or even lamb brain.
I also love to travel. Frankly, I havent been anywhere too exotic, but I just enjoy the idea of traveling. I like walking around airports, scrambling to get the window seat, plugging in earplugs, and drifting off into a deep sleep. One of my fondest memories was sitting on an American Airlines flight (I LOVE AA) with a great mix of piped in music (the type where you can select a station) and flying at a relatively low altitude over the Caribbean and into Miami. Its just one of those times where "you had to be there" to fully comprehend the entire situation.
Well, I managed to put up a few paragraphs about myself above. I really hope I keep up with this and don't have another "A.D.D. episode." I promise to share a bit more with you all in the near future together with some pictures (food, travels, etc). If you do find my blog, please give me the courtesy of leaving a comment. You can simply say "here" or "read" - I would love to think that someone out there took the time to read this.
Thanks so much,
Craig Kaye

Hi Craig,
Would you be interested in writing a blog about my book, Unscrambled Eggs? If so, contact me through my web site. I figure if we have the same title, we might as well do something together. Let me know what you think!
Thanks.
