Getting Started

"When was the last time you did something for the first time ?" an ad tagline asks - good Question. Sometimes the routine takes over life so completely that days roll into each other in an indistinguishable mass & it's hard to think that anything beyond that exists. As 2012 kicks off I promised myself that I would try to move out of my comfort zone & test the boundaries. I am conscious though that my good intentions often race away leaving me eating dust in their wake to contemplate what could have been - I aim to make this time different so let's see how that goes.

I was confronted with a Q while setting this up about the subject that I want to blog about - well anything that pops into my head of-course. Fair warning though - Priya, my best friend, wife, most honest critic..., says that my head is a store house of useless information (phrase under trademark) so this could be a wild ride for those that tag along ! There's no end of interesting things out there - some of them happening to me too so it's more likely that I will run out of patience before I run out of subjects.

It's somewhat strange that there are people out there that have a better opinion of my writing abilities than I myself do (looking at you The Nikhil) so this may turn into a exercise in getting them to shut up as much as in expressing what I feel. On the other hand my father & my brother are both published authors so who knows this may even be readable after-all stranger things have happened.

So a big hello to all those that want to join this trip to see an old dog learn some new tricks !
