There was a time in life when I thought that all I needed to realise all my dreams was to have a computer on my desk. I have one on my desk at home, one in my room in IIT with 24 hours internet connection and am almost constantly surrounded by them. So have my dreams come true.

I try not to be the complaining types but dreams are dreams... they are not the ones to be fulfilled so easily. And if they are fulfilled so easily then what sub-standard sort of dreams were they in the first place.

Anyway I read in a Rebecca Blood article (for the uninitiated she is the god of blog-world) that one maintains a blog for mainly three reasons: -

1. self expression
2. image building
3. listing links to good sites

I think I fall in the second category. I write or at least aim to write some pieces to be appreciated by critics. That is not something which comes quite easily or at least not instantly with the starting of a blog. But what the heck at least this gives me an excuse to write. And maybe somebody somewhere is reading. Who knows.....? Rebecca Blood says that even if one starts a blog for only one of the above 3 reasons, maintaining it for some time ultimately fulfill all the 3 reasons. And is not that justification enough to keep maintaining one.

There are so many things to write. Sometimes a hundred things come to mind and I really have to force myself to focus on the topic at hand. Today there is no such binding.
