My First Blog

This is my first blog. I would keep it short and simple because I don't really know how it all works. Actually I should have started blogging long ago but then I've never really cared too much about technology.

Shashwat (my buddy at University) and I discovered long ago (soon after he returned from a trip to California) that there are two types of engineers in the world- the famed Silicon valley techies who the world admires and the oft-forgotten, tough guys who drill for oil, mine coal or work in factories. Though neither Shashwat nor I are directly engaged in any of these "tough" professions, we know that we belong to the second kind of engineers. No matter what we do, we would never be comfortable in a technology-crazy environment.

I remember having "written" a lot (yes, there was a time when people used to pour out their feelings on sheets of paper and keep them for posterity). I also remember burning two folders full of my writings before leaving home six years ago. One of my favourite pieces that I would read again and again was something about the meaning of God that I wrote during a boring history class in school.

Maybe I would write regularly, or maybe I would forget about this blog and never return to it. Maybe I would write bullshit of the worst kind even if I return !!! (I know I'm capable of it). But, for now I've done something that I had always wanted to do - write a blog.
