WHY I DECIDED TO BLOG?

It was two days ago that in a local newspaper I read about blogs and blogging. Since I had a relaxed day at office I decided to run a search and found this site. Then the dilemma was, I, TOM, as some call me ( tall old man, silly), might stick out like a sore thumb among the young crowd who blog. Then I took the brave decision… I will blog, come what may… so here I am….

Don’t expect fancy postings and colours here. I will try to give an insight to life in my future postings… you will like it…u see I have a few decades of experience with life on this earth, not counting the rebirths (even though I don’t believe in it). Otherwise how can I be TOM?

Traveling around also has helped. My mother used to say- when I became a sales person- when I was about three years I used to lug around a suitcase bigger than me saying I want to travel around. Somebody up there must have heard that and I have not stopped. Luckily wheelers are around; so lugging around a suitcase is no big deal and in India porters are plenty.

I started traveling on job over 3 decades ago. I have exhausted the pages of three passports. Have to get a new one now. Traveling around in those days was another cup of tea. That will be another story and another posting.

Well, welcome to the world of blogging & bloggers. Good step you took & in the right direction...there's no age-time-distance limits to blogging & am sure you'll find it a very interesting, fulfilling experience.
From your 1st post I sense your's will be a blog that many a young mind & soul will be reaching for to get life's many lessons (I can't wait!).
Guess what we do is just let go, express ourselves & enjoy the ride...into...I no longer call it cyberspace, I call it ourspace (everybody's). Best wishes.
