There are so many many things that prevents a person like me from blogging. Lack of time, confusion .. dare I say it, a little dash of technofear and above all am a lazy fellow.

hmm … No time? I figured it out that will always be the case and I will never be able to escape it. Technofear. hmm .. my colleagues who have always tolerated my shout cry for cutting edge technology and fear for the crashes that comes with it and in return gifted me some patient encouragement, useful advice and assistance.. And they say that I dont fear them at all and that I should get on with it.. So I guess I have started to believe them .. Laziness - Well this one has been a grist of my procrastination mill for one good year now. Anyway, all these days I pushed myself hard to overcome lazyness. So here I am ..

Hmm .. So that leaves confusion. It’s not just quite enough to say: “Am going to blog.” You have to know what you want to write about and how do u go about it. And I really didn’t know.

I have two big interests. One is exploring new domains & cutting edge technology and the other is writing, storytelling, reading. For a very long time I had these two interests jockeyed in my brain for dominance. Until recently, when I discovered that they can actually peacefully cohabit in there.

The eureka moment occurred when, in desperation, a five week project analysis went through this mechanical, visual process of diagramming a story and I realized that my interests in writing and in the structure of information & tasks that comprise a website, or even an application, are fairly closely related.

Both these activities are about communication. Both these deal with unearthing a form for the content or system that is natural, that makes sense to the beholder, that is even pleasurable and at times somewat fatal .. lol .. Anyway, when I think about it, I’ve always been interested in something that makes someone tick; in getting to the heart of a matter; to the nub or the crux of an issue. I love kernels of truth…

Bring on the nittygritty !!!
