My first blog!

I have finally jumped on the blogging bandwagon!!! ......

I had started toying with the idea lately, primarily due to the efforts of my friend Mr. Jagannath Chakravarty who has been telling me to start blogging for quite some time now.

Although Jag had put the bug in my ear, the essential question still remained unanswered - What do I write???!!! Its all very well for people to say 'write about your thoughts, write about your experiences' but ridiculously and comically, my best thoughts used to come to me in the form of the finest flowing prose (no exaggeration here) when I was in the most inconvenient of places - e.g : in a crowded second class local in the peak hours, squished in 1 sq.meter space with atleast 10 overweight/ sweaty/ dirty men OR in the loo, especially when I am running late and my dad is yelling at me to hurry OR sometimes when I am taking a walk. By the time I got around to finding a piece of paper and pen or an open MS word document, everything would have evaporated!

However, today my problem was solved rather peculiarly. You see, today, 9th Jan 2011 to be precise, I was going through some old diaries and registers dating back from my school and college days. I found quite a few write-ups, articles that I had written in those days. I confess I had completely forgotten that I used to write back then. It was very refreshing for me to delve once more into those good old days and the thoughts gone by.

So, to start with, I have decided to post those old articles of mine with some comments added by me in the present time. I trust they will prove to be a good read.
