So why Diyalogues?

I have always been in awe of people who come up with witty blog names that are a play on their own name. For single word puns my awe is magnified ten times over. While I may not have been as successful at this as I would like to believe (try spinning a name like Diya and see how far you get), Diyalogues is a pretty close enough pun for me!

Moreover, I have come to learn that blogging is a two way street, a give-and-take. No blogger is an island (What? That’s not how it goes you say?). In other words, blogging is a di(y)alogue.

And last but not the least, this blog is a reflection of all my interests – a catalogue of all my passions.

So there you have it. The story behind Diyalogues. Don’t give up on me just yet, will ya? Stick around and read some more!
