Yet another first post

If you have reached this page, it is definitely because I have prompted you to (or promised you material reward in return.) Yet another first post, on yet another blogging site…At last count, I had a few on Blogger, one on MSN and another on Yahoo 360. Maybe this time, I ll try and see this through to the bitter end….not just as an experiment on the latest geek fad site…BTW, I am impressed by WordPress.

Here goes the inevitable intro, about the blog itself, rather than about me. I figure if you didnt know me, you wouldnt be here….I have tried to blog about college life, work life and everything in between before. A few thousand words later, realization has finally dawned on me…I am not that good at writing about myself too much (this is not to be taken to mean that i am extremely humble and down-to-earth: rather, the lot of people who do not think i am mad consider me extremely egoistic and self-obsessed…really, poor me??)

Unlike many others, I do not view writing as a cathartic experience, an outlet to let off all those frustrations and pentup rage at the system built up by years of institutionalization and looking down upon. I am not in love(unrequited or otherwise.) I do not wish to judge others under the cloak of invisibility. No Sir, I write when I have nothing else to do. Nothing more, nothing less. I like to write. But not much as I like to talk, read and think(sometimes.) And because of that, i tend to lose focus when trying to write consistently about anything. SO this time around, I am going to write about anything and everything, which passes under my radar.

A lot of what goes up on this page might probably be opinionated drivel. I am the sort of guy who'd pontificate and speculate about anything at the drop of a hat- aka the irritating guy who sits in the corner of the room because no one talks to him. On the other hand, some of the stuff might actually interest you…I presume that I have a suitably ecletic range of interests. My model blog would be something similar to that of Falstaff at 2×3x7.blogspot.

So, wish you like the rants and raves to be encountered here in the coming days (hopefully, and if you ever come here again.) Plus a bit of odd stuff once in a while…have you tried my brand of poetry, you really shouldnt.

WELCOME ONE AND ALL.
