On a midsummer's evening ...

Dear Readers,

Welcome to my blog ! Today, quite out of boredom, I've created my blog - and to be honest, stunned by the power of this medium. This idea, that I can electronically revive my long lost 'diary writing' habit, and can reach millions of people simultaneously, is thrilling. Well, the number may be hundreds, or even tens - but for me its equivalent to the convoluted millions of audiences of electronic media.

A bit about myself : I'm Ananda, 27, and an Indian software professional working in UK. Still a royal bachelor, travel and travel photography are two of my passions. Add that to a devoted follower of movies (romantic/drama) and soft melodies - and you've understood my taste. At least some of it.

I can't promise to be frequent in posting blog : somehow I think its having a big factor of my mood. We don't want everything in life to be a routine - do we ?

Its a serene evening in Bournemouth (where I live) : in fact, its twilight time. The clock's showing 19:39, but plenty of light out there. However, its absolute silent : the only sound I can prominently hear is the ticking of the clock, and the fan of my laptop's processor.

I love silence - particularly the silence of night. Pay attention to it and you'll feel its personality : it engulfs, embraces and fills you. Be silent; and silence itself will form a shape, a dimension - and present itself to you.

My drawingroom, at one glance will appear as a mess : but while writing this blog, it feels like each one of those scattered objects are assuming their own identity, own soul and personality - without any words, movement or action. Its still a mess, but an organized and purposeful mess.

I think its enough for today : seems like I, myself is drawn into this silence - I better be off and have a nice stroll through the vibrant Bournemouth - the pubs, clubs, sea shore, chattering of the gals ... and feeling the last rays of the day over my wings.

I hope to write again soon. Take care, and stay happy !
