Issue #1. The blog-writers

The course of writing this blog has been a great learning experience for us. Abuses have been hurled at us and questions have been raised about us. We want to explain a few things here.
WHAT WE WANTED TO ACHIEVE
There was only one objective to this blog - to bring out some realities (fact) and some perceptions (our opinions to the fore). The realities about the strikers and their motives behind the strike, our opinions of how things should have been done and could have easily been done, how we feel that recruitment and studies are the most important things that should be done in HNLU at all costs, and emphasizing the fact that dialogue and enquiries should have been the way to go instead of the big strategic disaster of this strike.
WHAT WE WANT TO DO NOW
We now want to highlight finally our opinion on what has happened, keep our readers updated on how things are going and provide constructive ideas in our opinion on how things can be done.
WHY WE'RE ANONYMOUS
The reasons are obvious. We are not in a situation to bear the brunt of the anger of the students who were involved in the strike against us. We know that considering the stance that we have taken, we have probably angered some sections of the students who have a nuisance value. We have to live with them for a few years to come and interact with them in the course of our careers (if we get jobs after all this drama, that is!).
ABUSES AND ALLEGATIONS
Abuses do not bother us. We're going to do our job.

  1. In many ways, the work of a critic is easy. We risk very little yet enjoy a position over those who offer up their work and their selves to our judgment. We thrive on negative criticism, which is fun to write and to read. But the bitter truth we critics must face, is that in the grand scheme of things, the average piece of junk is probably more meaningful than our criticism designating it so...

    If you had little heart, a little dare, a little spirit of being human...

    My only regret is, we did not hear you then...it positively pains to hear you now...
