On 16th November in Mumbai Mirror's blog world section on Chandrayaan, Baskar's post 'This is sure to alienate you' found a mention. It didn't surprise me but then it's a good feeling that I thought of sharing with you all.
When we started to blog, we asked what is the purpose of this blog. We thought, not many are going to read it. We are not going to reach the world with our views and opinions, is what we felt. But then we started blogging to ensure a storage for our views, thoughts and rants in a orderly manner. It in a way is also like a post card that one can post to knowns and in this case also to unknowns. We enlisted knowns as contributors and they are the regular visitors to this blog.
The regular visitor (map) gadjet started surprising me with few dots across the world. "Ah, there is a visitor from Lima. Oh! there is one or few from Korea. Wow, these are places we know no one. Huh, good man" it brought the child out of me after a long time. We started thinking about the blog appearence and the gadjets. Why don't we do that? Why should not we put it this way? All this motivated us to focus bit more on this blog. But to be honest, I also have questined how reliable these maps and info are?
I have always felt that a man's exposure to outside world and experience shapes shim up. Better the exposure better the man, though there could be exceptions to it. Social groups that fight for human and moral values have become stronger with the advent of social network sites and blogs. This virtual world has earned me friends, whom I have not met yet, acquaint with people across the world.
I hope and wish this virtual world leads to emancipation of human kind from whatever it is held back and bound by as the day goes by.

Excellent post balajhi.
ReplyDeleteNow you are talking from the heart.
Nice to see our blog was quoted somewhere. I was just reading Scott Adam's Religion of War, where he mentions about the basic/ natural urge of humans to 'reach out'. It sure makes us happy to know about your Mumbai Mirror's mention, Balajhi.
ReplyDeleteI have heard about of War of Religions, but Religion of War? What is it? Sounds interesting, more please
ReplyDeleteSorry Baskar, that was The Religion War, not Religion of War. It's a sequel to the God's Debris, I will try to write about it.
ReplyDeleteThanks Siva. Please do share something of it with us.
ReplyDeleteThe mistake is not yours. Sometimes it looks like religion is war and war is religion.
All the best for your writings, everyone.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kartikey.
ReplyDeleteAnd for you too, I really follow your posts and appreciate your original writings. I can't do that.
This is not flattery.
I sincerely wish you well.
