I heard about blog 2 years back. It took some time to digest the fact that in order to express ones views on social,political,economic and environmental issues, and also to be heard and read widely, one does not need to be a well known intellectual, a popular journalist or having a university degree or a specialist job in these areas. I believe that the greatest contribution of the Information Technology is that it has empowered the common man to be counted and getting the feeling of fulfilment.We may blame the IT for creating the 'digital divide', but the one divide which the IT has surely bridged is the divide between the common man and the the so called intellectuals. Blog is the best example of this contribution. Besides, IT has also enabled the common people world over to interact freely without any restrictions of nationality, ethnicity,race,caste and colour of the skin. I read the blogs on various topics and by diverse people in my free time, but the idea of creating a blog of my own struck me only recently. So I thought it better to start late than never. I commit myself to regularly express my views on diverse issues impacting the lives of common man and thereby connect myself to the common folks all around the world.
