Finally joined the rat race!

Had been hearing a lot about the blogs and the bloggers.. and was getting tired of the raised eyebrows which intentionally or unintentionally meant "not blogging yet, huh??!!!!"...

A few reasons why I am here:
- whatever little time I have spent here, and the (very) few people i met, gave me the impression that if I didnt blog, I didnt exist. I can remember a particular conversation where I had nothing to say (not that anybody cared to ask!), coz it was all abt whose blog was the most widely read. I cud feel the generation gap already, so I thot "what the hell, I shd be thr.."

- sometime last month I wanted to read a particular blog (his writing style I am fond of.. hv read a couple of snippets on his PDA and wanted to see what's on his blog). Today when I finally had the time to read (and also remembered to do so) and wanted to post a comment, I figured that I was not allowed to post as 'anonymous' .. Probably they think that if you cant write something worth reading on ur own blog, you are not qualified enuf to comment on someone else's .. so I thot, "what the hell, I shd be thr.."

- (like everyone else) I keep getting ideas and thots and words in my head.. and I note them down in an email and send it to a fren (whether or not he is a fren, is debatable, given that I have never met him and he is atleast 10 years older than me.. but more abt that later).. who diligently listens (or reads) them and puts down his own comments.... so why not make it a lil easier for him (and anyone else who cares to read) .. So I thot, "what the hell, I shd be thr.."

And that is why I am here....

While I was struggling with the whole 'setting up the blog' thing, RS asked me - why r u here? to be heard or be-herd... well , hmm..., honestly... I am here for the latter.. hoping to move to the former in due course!
Thanks RS, for driving me here.
