Forsyth's Second Corollary to Murphy's Laws
Just when you see the light at the end of the tunnel, the roof caves in.

It was this day, the 29th of August. 2003 that I started my blog, and my first post. I have come a long way from that. But I can still remember that nite at my house when I created my account with Blogger. Why I created it, I do not know. Herd mentality, probably.

Inspite of its nuances, I have still stuck with it. I have also changed from the default template it provided to the final one, which I created in the month of November of 2003, I think to the current one. And then I became too lazy to mess around with html again. But I do like this template and it reflects what I like a lot - a soothing dark blue and glittering nite mood.

Very soon, as I got my hand on a digital camera, I had started posting pictures in my blog - thanx to Photobucket. Alas, my first images are lost, as I had deleted them to free up some storage space!. Now with more than 2700 photos - I have decided not to upload all of them. They are still stored in my hard-disk waiting for the day to get classified and the selected few, uploaded.

I also started out with the habit of putting Murphy's Laws before each post. Just to remind the average person that if something can go wrong, it will. And I aim to put one for each post that I have.

Over the past two years, I have got quite a few friends, and I have had the pleasure of meeting them, and going to the blog meets to see the faces behind the veil of their blogs (having attended, I think, about 3 meets). Unfortunately, now in the US, I am quite far away from them, and I do find it quite difficult to meet anybody here at all.

My blog has also been a very good channel to communicate with my family - my parents and some cousins who read it regularly. This is slightly easier than individual mails that I send them, and cheaper than international calls that I make.

I shall continue writing about my sojourn into life. As long as these tireless fingers never tire out.
