Frankly, blogging has not been something that has fascinated me probably because of my limited writing skills or because I just didn't see a need to. So what would encourage an amateur writer(if you want to call me that) to start writing !!

Its the first day of the year 2009 & I have spent the first half of it glued to the television. I was watching the news & its quite interesting to notice the change in content being broadcast compared to previous years on the first day of a new year. No one seems really bothered about the new year or as to where India's elite partied. The names of Laqvi, Kasav & Hamas resonate on every news channel.

Is this how the world welcomes a new year. With the names of heartless terrorists flashing on the news, with two nuclear-powered countries at loggerheads, with a country bombing its neighbour with utter disregard to innocent human lives & world opinion. Can we, the human race disintegrate further or do we still have a long way to go? With all the advancement & modernity we boast of, we probably are as barbaric as ever in our minds.

So here is born a new blogger. A blogger encouraged to blog only because there is just so much he can write about- Sadly !!
