New to this World

I have been thinking of doing this for a long time, but procrastination is a disease that is akin to an extra-marital relationship. You feel guilty and bad the first time, shy the next time, but after that it just becomes a habit and you enjoy doing it. Finally I shrugged off my laziness and made myself part of this world, that seemed to be a lunatic's asylum just a few years back. Till long I dismissed web-logging as one of those new internet hypes, until Dec.26, 2004 came when the Tsunami struck South-east Asia and various parts of South Asia. That's when I realised the sheer power of blogs - before media reporters could reach the spot of destruction, eye-witnesses had started writing their description of the events on the blog, and within minutes, the whole world knew what was happening in a small village in India.

I salute the power of blog!
