Being my first blog, and the fact that it took me a while to get this address, I decided that I at least need to put down a blog to commemorate my creating this blog.
Frankly, I've missed chatting out with a number of friends with whom I used to talk, discuss and even argue over politics. But then came this period when I was busy with my graduate studies, and all this took a back seat. Its been about 6 months since my graduation, and I suddenly realize, that there is so much I want to speak and discuss, but I can't! And that is simply because the people I did so with aren't really around. Most are in other unearthly time zones, or simply busy with their lives to spare some time.
So, I decided to take this to a new level, the internet. In reality, while I like meeting new people, I'm wary of those I meet on the internet. And with good reason... I know, in many cases, people are not what they seem, and its always easier to assess someone in person than online. After all, as someone interested in AI (artificial intelligence) research, you never know when you might simply be conversing with a computer! Nah.. I'm kidding. I think we're still a few decades away from that.
And since I intend to write mostly stuff that is political, probably controversial, and with an open mind to accept other possibilities; the internet provides a certain level of anonymity, which is characteristic of a truly open society. The freedom of thought... and speech.
So while things should as clear as a crystal, we'll still find ourselves with a blur when it comes to seeing things. Writing this blog will give me a chance at perhaps explaining that blur as my opinion, while giving me a chance to hear what others (who take out time to read my blog) have to say about the same.
So I hope that you all like reading (and replying) on this, as much as I will like writing to it. Thanks for stopping by!
