While speaking to my Jeejaji one day, he suggested that I should start blogging to record my stray thoughts. This would not only help me in organizing my thoughts but would also provide sharpness and precision to my writing. I very much liked his idea but pleaded ignorance as to how to go about opening a blog. He volunteered to assist me in the venture when I visit him next.
During my stopover at Indirapuram on my way to Dehradun, I reminded him of his offer. The following morning he brought out his laptop, switched on his internet connection and went to his blog page. On the top right side of the screen there was an entry namely "create a blog". Clicking on that entry I found a form seeking my particulars such as E-mail address, password, date of birth etc. It also sought the name that I would like to give to my blog and identification of a word written in a somewhat strange way. After a couple of attempts we got it right and clicked 'continue'. Next we selected the name for the blog which is after our village deity, now bearing the weight of millions of tons of water in the lake of the Tehri Dam. After clicking 'continue' again the screen went blank. For a moment I thought that all our efforts were laid to waste. but soon after the screen flashed ' Your blog is created'. Jeeja ji shook my hands and congratulated me on my recent success and asked me to click ' start blogging' which led me to this page. And as the cliche goes ' journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step'.
