Shatranj ki Khiladi - The Chess Player: A tribute

The first blog: lost virginity. The namesake of this blog, "Shatranj", comes from Shatranj ki Khiladi (i.e. The Chess Player) - a film by Satyajit Ray (apparently, one of Ray's most overrated films, although the title in itself is kind of pretty and sounds important). Hence, a tribute to the one of the wisemen who brought wisdom and intellect on planet earth.

Shatranj - the word itself means 'Chess', an old form of chess mostly popular in Persia.

Following the christening session/introduction of this blog, Shatranj will - from this day forth - be pronounced by strategy, beauty (hence, the Greeen Shatranj), and alot of vomiting (thoughts).

...go Kosovo ;-) less ethnic cleansing, and more soul purifying.
