Cometh the hour, Cometh the media, Cometh the hour Cometh the Politician.

Another train accident, another tragic scenario, mass casualties, Screams of help, Loss of near ones, Shouts of sabotage, tearful political netas arriving to console, condemn & criticize. Headlines & Breaking news 24x7.

But then Come Sunday & all these channels & pages will cover the Smiling & finger flashing snapshots of the Mamatas, Buddhadebs & Pranabs. as they step out of their polling booths after voting in the municipal polls

Come Monday Its all Exit Polls .

Come Wednesday & the flurry of results & the euphoria of victories , mourn for the losses, facts, figures & percentage of votes lost or won are then talk of the town..

Come Friday, preparations are on for the swearing in ceremony & Victory marches across the state, BUT ,BUT , WAIT A MINUTE. Its been a week now that the train accident had happened, are the injured ones recovering ? have the wounds of the loss of near ones healed?

Err ….. Did you say a train accident ? when did this happen?

Of me,For me & most importantly By me

I have finally done it, after years of going through all kinds of blogs possible on earth, after being motivated by people whom I know or know not, I have decided to present my ownself a blog. Many questions arise in my mind, among them notable ones would be why do I really need a blog? Is it just to express my opinions & thoughts on issues which poke me?Is it to differ at times with others or ideas of theirs without having to go through a controversy? Maybe, maybe not. Just to answer my own self I would probably say that deep down I have always felt that I need to express myself on various issues spontaneously & keep a track of it, so that years later I might get a feedback when I have Alzheimer’s. Now that like most of others around me I do not write a diary,I am most likely going to loose the reaction that I make presently to say about anything on earth & the blog will hopefully redirect me to my that state of mind later on when I go thru the archives. In other words I proclaim to this world full of blogs that ‘Look this blog is OF me, FOR me & By me.(clap clap clap!!!!) Period.
Having said all these I would now however look forward to number of visits at my blog as an encouragement that is needed to keep this blog afloat & maintain my motivation of posting something regularly.
