THE GRAND NARRATIVE

You know how the blog began! I had to do a paper on The Ramayana and its functional capabilities and I refused to do it because it did not have a SO WHAT??? question. When I gave up and tried to ask Abhishake what I should do for my paper which was due for submission in three days, he said I had to dig deeper into the foundations of the human mind; sorry, the foundations of the house, leading to the sewage system and so on... You know the rest if you've followed our blog... I mean clog... The bathroom, sorry, brain is clogged! Ha, so where was I?

The paper. Yes, the paper. I refused to attack the sewage systems of the glorious "Dwapara Yuga" in which our dear friend Rama lived, and consequently, the So what question disappeared into thin air, along with the topic.

So, I'm wondering, what should now happen to the clog... sorry, blog?

Discovering the drainage systems of ancient India... What an ideal to achieve...

PS: I forgot to tell you why its called the Grand narrative. Since My fellow blogger refused to give me an authentic topic, I had to fall back on my teacher. Who told me about the grand narrative and how postmodernist theory does not accomodate the notion of grnand narrative. So, would this be a historic recording (or sub-altern history recording) of the grand narrative that told the tale of the toiletting practices of ancient India?
