cultural ignorance
so i have an account on fandalism. earlier today, another member named Aniruddha Bhattacharya contacted me via private message complimenting me on my recent upload of my Shifting Signals Zero backing track. He also asked me some questions about the composition.
I went to go access the fandalism page and discovered that the site was down. this is the sort of thing that can easily slip below the radar for me, so i thought that rather than waiting for the fandalism site to go back up later and forgetting about it, i'd try to take care of it by looking the guy up on facebook (all fandalism accounts are linked through facebook) thinking that there can't be that many Aniruddha Bhattacharya's in existence.
And here's where my cultural ignorance comes in, because this is clearly a more common name than i give credit for. a fb search for Aniruddha Bhattacharya pulled over 80 unique accounts.
what wonderful knowledge to stumble on, to have my conception of what is common and what is unique be challenged like that.
