This is my first blog and it happens to be India's 60th Independence day. good day to start!
Not so good part was that I had spend an hour at office. Office on public holiday!? Yuck
What does blogging mean to me? - Well sort of maintaining a personal diary but open to public.
How do I intend to use it - post my thoughts on the different currents/threads running currently in my life.
Expectations from public - comments,brickbats, just about anything welcome. Looking for some gyan on art of blogging.
So here goes.....
today as I was driving to my office [remember its 15th Aug] I had a strange feeling of abondoning this country and settling abroad. A very strange feeling for me this one. someone I failed to connect to the happy spirit of Independence day today. Wonder why. Somehow all this talk of India's growth appears gas to me. ground realities around me looked very different while I was driving. No, I was'nt driving thru some rural impoverished hinterland. I was driving thru India's IT capital. traffic jam, impoverished people, poverty. everything remains as is. when I parked my car at church street, a 7 year old poor girl in tattered clothes pretended to work as a parking attendent and asked me for 10 rs. i gave her five. meters down the road, big cars were offloading colorful people for an Independence day bash at amoeba. At office, one of the colleagues remarked that in US come what may nobody works on their Independence day. for americans patriotism is more important than work. what is important for us? quickly finished my one hour of work and headed back home and get on the net............
