Birth of a Blog

You know how it works...You read a lot of Wodehouse, Kazantzakis, Tagore and Amitabh Ghosh. You write a few class esseys that are liked. You speak a kewl tongue and find that the majority dont understand what you are talking about. And, subsequently, you start fancying yourself as a writer, a sharer of ideas and information.

Its actually a mid life crisis...or the beginnings of one in any case. A situation when bills run faster than prize horses, and the paunch looks like it needs immidiate drastic action. Its when you realise that you cant be the Prime Minister or Mr Bill Gates,.....why....you cant even be the guy next door who bought that snazy car. Your credit rating is average and your commitments are legendary. It is also when you realise that most people couldnt care lesser about your interests. When knowledge or the yearning for it becomes irreversibly destroyed by basic real life practicality. So you sit down and tell the Krishna story to your daughter .... and she listens to you with rapt attention and then says...Dad can I have that PSP now that I have listened to all you have to say...and you start calculating the coming pay packet.

To top it all, rickshaw drivers start calling you Uncle...Now that is miserable.

So one needs a release and technology offers the perfect solution. This Blog therefore is about anything at all. Anything that one may want to say. Anything that one needs to share. For posterity...if not for the present.
