Ink Blot

The “Ink” word derives from Latin encaustum = "burnt in", since the gallic and tannic acids in ink and the oxidation of its ingredients cause it to eat into the writing surface. The “Blot” word derives from blood it means dry ink with blotting paper.

I Wonder

Chinese may have created the printer and the ink,
but who conceived the first words… forms for what I think

Words become vehicle of thought
without words, ideas can’t be caught

Language as we see it today
is a creative genius, of whom?... I cannot say

Writing…nah words came our way
Like a discovery, a progression…not of a single day

Language evolved as no man’s claim
not in a country, state or nation or a single terrain

Language is a collective genius, a celebration
of the ingenious spirit, the human civilisation

# I thought about this as I sat down to manage my business, that of selling ink, printer ink cartridges, paper and what not! I am amused how means of communication have changed over the last hundred years…I wonder if changing methods of communicating has influenced our relationships, what do you think?

    Changes in the way we communicate has definitely influenced our relationship. Think about it, back then if you want to reach someone. You either call them up or meet them in person. Now, you can send emails, sms, watch eachother's faces on webcams....whatever is convenience for us.
