First Impression- Part 2

As I said before, there are a number of reasons due to which I decided to start writing this blog. In the hope that some day I will do a Phd, I decided to hone my writing skills. A lot of good things in life go unaccounted and it is a crime to do so. This is a free forum, using up a small fragment of the colossal space that the internet offers. So I decided to use this as a scribbling pad. This will also spare the readers the difficulty of deciphering an abstruse writing.(I have a handwriting worse than most of the worst things on earth). The last year as I was saying has been so eventful and fast moving. My father(whom I call Pa and will refer to him that way in my future posts) and I were discussing yesterday that I celebrated my first Non Resident Indian (NRI) anniversary. He sounded excited and gleeful. I think he had a couple of mixed emotions flooding him at that moment. When such milestones are discussed, one talks about all the things that one did right to achieve something. But introspection also made me realize that all the excitement in life is merely a result of the amount of calculated risks one takes. Sometimes a lose cannon also ends up hitting the Bulls Eye.

So yeah...for all those reasons I decided to start blogging! A friend of mine told me that the title was a cliche! I will change it as soon as I can find something out of the box....

Ya a certain person inspired me to start writing. More about that later.

Oh yes...in ten years when I become world famous....Barkha Dutt will be telling her viewers that 'krithika govind known for (whatever i am going to be famous for) wrote a blog and also knew then itself where she was going to get!! :P '. If that is a little pompous....so be it! A few castles built in the air is not going to choke anyone right......

First Impression- Part 1

There are a number of reasons because of which I finally decided to start blogging. Today is a milestone- meaning a point in time- according to project management gurus. Yes, today the 29th of July, 2009 - 'a Wednesday' (a great movie by the way)- is just a point in time.

This milestone is a significant one. It has been a year since I set foot in the US soils. Technically the IAH vestibule actually, but a tinge of sardonic comedy is always welcome is it not!

The eventful year that this has been started unfolding itself soon after I checked in at the Bangalore International Airport and I got to know that the Lufthansa Airline(the blessed airline I decided to fly with) was having a ground staff strike.

More in part-2.
