Greetings from the world of Lord Parashurama

Being a neophyte in the world of blogs, this is extremely exciting for me- my very first post! Although I have been aware of web logs for as long as I can remember, I must confess, I have been very slow at adapting this new medium to my life. I doubt it was a “technological aversion” of any sort, for I am a scientifically inclined individual, with a strong background in the physical sciences. It surely was not computer-illiteracy. Then what was it?After much deliberation, It seems my slow imbibition, of this wonderful means of communication, can be attributed to personal misconceptions due to the, apparent, banality and "un-influential" nature of blogs. With so many voices out there, how could my voice be set apart from that of the multitude? How could one separate the meaningful speech from the noise? This condescending attitude I had about the content of most blogs is what seems to have prevented me from entering this world in the past. Well, I am past that now, and I intend to use this blog as the proverbial soapbox to voice my opinions on events, past and present. I can be very politically-incorrect at times, but I am not here to please everyone. My sincere apologies to people who might get offended by the occasional, flagrantly opinionated, rant. But, then again, this is my personal mouthpiece, and I am not here to be everyone’s friend. So, here’s to a new phase in my intellectual life, and for the wonderful things to come. :D
