Hello Bloggers!

This is my first blog and the inspiration came from my brother Kartik, who has recently started blogging. I knew I was going to start blogging sooner or later; I'd always been tempted, but somehow did not get the time or the motivation before.

There is something exciting about putting yourself out there in the open, risking criticism from friends as well as perfect strangers. There is also the basic human instinct to know what other people think about what you have to say. Then there is also the point about some people just being more articulate in writing than in speech. And that probably constitutes most of the bloggers, because people who can say exactly what they want and how they want it just don't feel the need to write it down in words.

"We are living in a crazy world!" - is an expression you get to hear a lot these days. But it is a crazy world relative to what? When has the world not been crazy? Well, maybe now the issues and situations are just getting completely out of control and we are running out of time to fix them. And when we don't understand or know how to solve problems, we focus our attention on something else.

The reason that I get surprised or shocked when I read about political indifference or human ignorance that causes hate crimes or yet another terrorist attack on unsuspecting civilians, is that it completely defies the law of human nature. There is no sorrow compared to the sorrow of people who have lost their loved ones in violent and senseless killings. Let us all try to look towards the amazing realities of the life we live and not give in to hatred.

This blog is dedicated to the people who lost their lives in the Bangalore and Ahmedabad bombings recently.
