The Century Times

It’s been a long time, I haven’t posted anything on this blog. Actually, some of my well-wishers pointed out that I should categorize the posts at the time of writing so that their permalinks remain the same forever. Till this day, all my posts were uncategorized. And this made me stop writing …without a proper category. Good excuse! Isn’t it?

Now the necessity to categorize them has created a new problem for me. I believe in expressing freely without any prior planning about the topic on which I’ll be expressing. I might even carry my discussions through several topics and issues in a single post. Choosing a category before-hand might restrict myself with these privileges! But categorizing have several benefits for my readers. So I finally decided to classify all my writings into some categories.

Being a professional from the field of Yellow Pages, categorizing seems to be an easier part of my job to everyone. But in fact, choosing a right category for every business listing in a yellow pages is not an easy job. It took me several months to decide and group the categories at Century Yellow Pages …and am still unsatisfied with its present structure! All categories here were grouped and regrouped to form a hierarchy of three levels. But after doing this, I felt that some of them needed to be grouped into as far as 5 or 7 levels. Only then it becomes appropriate for those businesses to be meaningfully categorized. Well, for the time being, I have left that job incomplete.

But similarly here, I wish to have categories, its sub-categories and sub-sub categories to classify my writings. I don’t think wordpress provide this facility at the moment. But who knows, someday someone from the wordpress may chance upon this post from my blog and get inspired to add this feature to incorporate the crazy ones like me in their software!

Well, for present, I’ll try my best to put my posts in the category they deserve. Of course, classification will be linear as I don’t write too often . This will make my categorization a bit imperfect …but now after failing in my quest to be perfect, I have started loving to be imperfect. Afterall, perfection is the advanced stage of imperfection and being imperfect is like being a bit human, isn’t it? So atleast this argument and acceptance of being imperfect will put me back on the regular writing. So here I am …back to my postings, urging you all to ignore the categorization part here by and large.
