This is my first post. I would be posting regularly from now on. Though had the idea of doing this for sometime now, it required a New Year and one of the resolutions we take every year to push me into doing it. I intend to record my thoughts which vary from mundane stuff to outright controversial.
My New Year began with calling home and friends around the globe, wishing them a happy and successful newyear. But then, more than a happy and successful newyear, what everyone will be hoping for this New Year would be a peaceful and safe one. 2005 had been quite eventful, to put it mildly, with both Nature and man trying to out do each other to inflict as much pain and suffering as possible. Though its said we can do little (though i believe we can do much by cutting down our energy consumption and being conscious about our environment) with Nature's fury, think about the kind of atrocities that are being committed across the world in the name of Civilization and Freedom. I leave this topic for another day, but think about one of our very ancient mantras and its profound meaning. It can only make you proud that our fore-fathers have had such an open mind and attitude towards life. More than me saying, just ponder over this.
Sahanaa Vavatu
Om Saha Naavavatu Saha Nau Bhunaktu
Saha Veeryam Karavaavahai.
Tejasvi Naavadheetamastu
Om Shaantih Shaantih Shaantih.
May the Lord protect us together.
May he nourish us together.
May we work together uniting our strength for the good of humanity.
May our learning be luminous and purposeful.
May we never hate one another.
May there be peace, peace, and perfect peace.

A very novel beginning for the new year... Thoughts can be shared and honored .. A wonderful initiative which promises not only to be entertaining but also informative.. Looking forward to discussions on topics which interest us like cinema & music (esp tamizh), the mysterious ancient history of India and the world, Ever active sports and showbiz, the great indian politics etc.
Reading the emails you used to write to your school and undergrad frineds, I suggested you maintain a blog long ago. but better late than never. keep going.
