Irregular Expressions

 A lazy day in office and i was trying to find something in the logs and was using "grep" to locate certain issues in the traces, And it is quite common to combine grep with regular expressions, it was taking a while to list the results and my mind was wandering about the name "regular expressions" !!! 

It was an Eureka moment for me as i always felt that the word "expression" goes very well with the blog, also it is very rare people blog regularly, so i felt "irregular expressions" would be an ideal/apt name for the blog.
So this is history behind the name "irregular expression" for this blog :)

Having the word "irregular" gives the freedom of expression whenever we want also an easy explanation for delay in posts as they will be "irregular" :) 

So one day during our daily trip to office i told Shande about this name and he was very excited about the idea as he is a regular blogger . We had a discussion about the contents of the blog but ended up first trying out with some "irregular expressions" to incubate the idea and later worry about the end result. 

So this is the beginning and hoping to have "regular" expressions :)
