First Post

Hi..

Its 1 56 AM on May 19th 2008 here in Minneapolis. And finally the auspicious moment has come. I have been thinking for quite sometime now to create my blog. I actually already had 1. But it was lame and i never posted there, nor anyone would reply. So i thought I would create a new blog and post regularly. Most ppl interested in blogging start off with the great ambitions. They create blogs, post the links everywhere, start writing with great enthu and sound very hip!. Finally after a few days all their enthu vanishes into thin air. So the key is to not have the great initial enthu, ambition and maintain a sustained interest. I hope i would be able to do so. But that might also depend on how many ppl actually would read my blogs.

Mainly the motivation came from Amitabh Bachchan. I read Amitabh's blogs almost daily. I wondered, if a non technical guy like him can do it, i should do it too. May be these movie stars might create blogs to hit out at Anbumani Ramadoss (beloved health minister) or to call each other dogs. I just want to rant about general stuff. Me, my life, my friends, political tamasha, religion (cmon guys, i find them interesting), music, movies.

The day before algos final exams, I was day dreaming a lot about my blog instead of studying. Then i discussed with Santu about it. But it actually took me 2 days to create it in the first place. So I am a little bit skeptical about myself.

It took me 2 days to come up with a lame name for my blog. I had asked Santu, but he told we could keep any name and change it later. He pinged me today reminding me about my plans. Maybe if Santu had not asked today, I would have taken more time or eventually dropped the idea as well, who knows.

The thing is there have been a lot of instances in the past where i started off stuff amazing well, but never executed it with the same vigor or finished it to completion with utmost satisfaction. That is 1 quality that I hate about myself . And I want to change that. Maybe I could use this as a platform to develop in myself a quality to do some work with sustained interest and motivation without decrease in quality/performance. Lets see how far i can go about it. Maybe thats my whole motivation.

Its 2 30 AM currently. I am going to crash now.
