A brand new day ....

Hi, Am a Thirty-something Software Professional. Based out of Delhi/NCR. This is a personal weblog. The opinions expressed here represent my own and not those of my employer (past or present).

So, blogging is something I am starting off now. Its a new experience. Don't know how much I will like, want to do it, will feel comfortable with it or even if its stuff that I want to jot or remember down the line. But here goes, besides, its better to try and reject, than not try at all (at least with the non-life-threatening or "principle-safe" things).

Could I have started blogging earlier? Yes.
Why didn't I? Partly not really excited/thrilled with the whole blog-idea and secondly, I don't really want to start something I don't want to continue.

So, why now? Well, I have been wanting to pen my thoughts down for a while. Wasn't sure if a blog, especially a public-facing one would have been the best forum for it and also wasn't sure what I wanted to write about regularly. So, what's changed? For one, a few friends and I have launched a company in the mobile & software development space here in India. Secondly, am using this as a forum to share it with all of you. Thirdly, I expect things to start getting a little crazy over the next 12-18 months. So, thought this would an interesting way to doc it out. I do plan to be regular.

Those were the primary reasons. Did have a couple others.

However, as I started thinking and thinking and thunking ... I started bouncing, scraping, bumping, jostling, jumping, grinding, rubbing and tossing against all kinds of ideas. Secondly, I was trying to assimilate lots of information, but not really regurgitating it (to make sure that I really understood it) and lastly, I started developing this weird notion, that I was loosing my touch with prose. The last part's probably already happened. ;)

The last thing is that i would probably look at this as a medium to get away from the JD Salinger'ish type of prose that affects most of the bloggerati today. Funny, irreverent, easy-to-read, and probably far something that most are comfortable with. I have nothing against all these points. However, personally, I would like to try my hand with different styles. For me, that would part of the fun of this whole adventure. Otherwise, it would become too one-dimensional (at least from one perspective). The day is young, so who knows ...

To summarize: go visit MobiPorter, that's my company. We aim to be the leader in WAP and Video Streaming Solutions in India.

Cheers,
