Why Godot's Way?
Why do I called the blog "Godot's Way"?
The blog is named after Godot, the invisible character of a two-act play by Samuel Beckett. Godot does not appear at all in the play. At th end of both acts, a messenger boy will declare that Godot would not be coming and it is up for the characters to leave or otherwise. The play is premised of the theme of a 'waiting game'.
Some speculate that Godot was derived from the Irish word go de meaning eternity. Others believe that Godot is simply God. The characters in the play awaits for God but God never arrives. A messenger delivers Godot's message to them instead.
I do not intend to be Godot or God's messenger here. What I would like to do is to give my opinions and impressions on things near and near through this blog.
And thus I thought it would be a nice name for my blog. Agree?
