Finally a Web Series to read
Web Series with a difference.
For People Who Still Read.
If your brain cells are currently begging for mercy after the daily barrage of Good Morning roses and lotuses, hyperactive reels, forwarded wisdom, unsolicited—but invariably very important—political/ religious sermons and formulaic web series'; you have finally found your sanctuary.
Welcome!
This is a place for word-nerds, language lovers, compulsive punsters, anagram addicts, and anyone who occasionally feels that words are being wasted on serious things.
Here, they will be put to completely unnecessary use.
And that brings us to the rather misleading name of this enterprise: A Web Series.
The great advantage of this only kind of Web Series is that you can read it.
You can sneak into it almost anywhere, anytime.
While waiting at Jantar Mantar for your free Burger-Pizzas to be delivered.
While getting bored in a mundane one hundred and fourteenth meeting in a year on educational reforms.
While being stuck in an hours-long traffic jam.
Or while being trapped at yet another everyday loud karaoke night, surrounded by singers masquerading as friends.
No screen required.
No sound required.
No one even needs to know that you have escaped.
This web series is therefore an escape hatch from the important, the urgent, the consequential and the algorithmically recommended.
This is perhaps the only Web Series without audio-video: produced entirely on the web, but written for people willing to read their entertainment.
Think of it as a television series in which the television has been deliberately removed.
And ...
No big names, here.
No sponsors.
No literary agents.
No media houses.
No subscription fees.
No advertisements.
And, most importantly, no vulgar comedy.
Just a writer and the readers connected by a hyperlink.
And, significantly, there are no life lessons here.
No productivity hacks.
No motivational quotes.
No political agenda.
No breaking news.
Just words misbehaving.
And what is this Web Series about?
Lexicomedy.
Which means that, in a mildly suspicious act of self-reference, the subject of this Web Series—masquerading as a blog series—is...
Lexicomedy itself.
So, rather than explaining Lexicomedy any further, let us do the sensible thing.
