ohh that internet...

what a coincidence, I decided to start my blog few days back and watched this program 20/20 on ABC primetime that had the whole debate over if internet is intruding on people's privacy? One of the experts said most of the time people volunteer to be there on internet and make their lives public. Yeah that is true; no one forced me to start this blog;-)
But of course if you want to make things like your birth date, maiden name and your favourite number all public .....hmmm....that might be a problem!

The other thing which was real shocking, those clips on youtube which showed car crashes, violent robberies, extreme stunts by teenagers etc. Those clips were viewed by hundreds of thousands of users again and again. I can not justify loosing your conscience for somebody's trauma over the weird excitement that people get watching such things. That reminds me of those stupid forwards people circulated during 9/11, all the dead bodies and in the aftermath those attacked victim pics from Afghanistan and later Iraq. I hope the future looks at these uncomfortable trends caused by internet and gets wiser.

I want to blog

On this cold decemeber morning when I am lying on the couch sick(with cold and cough), I decided to start writing about these moments in my life. Why I want to start doing it now, well because I wanted to do it long time back, around 2 years back to be exact but I had to get married, change job and get settled, in other words I was really busy to find time for this!!
Now I think I can do this and will try to make it fun place to be. The following words inspire me always:

"It's never too late to be what you might have been."
