Blog baby, blog !!!

Yep, I was quite immune to the "blog" bug until now. Looks like it has finally broken through my defenses. :)

I ain't sure if I have any definite theme to base my blog upon. But I'm sure a mix of things would not detract visitors either.

To get things started, let me talk about the title of my blog a little. Frankly, I really didn't have a proper title in mind when I created this blog. So I just put in "three words" that came to my mind at that moment. In fact, just before I hit upon the idea of creating the blog, I was reading something online (I can't remember what though) that contained these "three words". So I put those in the "title" field and leaned back in my chair with great appreciation in my eyes - appreciation for those "three words" that made me start liking fiction. My earliest memory of reading fiction in my childhood days is that of poring through the pages of an "illustrated abridged children classic" copy of Moby Dick, borrowed from my best friend. (Thanks to him for getting me started with it.) "Call me Ishmael" are the starting words of Moby Dick !!! :)

Well, I think I'm done with my first post on the blog. Keep visiting for more stuff on various assorted themes. However, I deem it wise to mention that reading my blog during office hours would not necessarily fool your manager to think that you are working more or improving your technical excellence and contributing to the growth of the organization. So visit at your own risk, and sweet time of course.

See ya,
Sambit

PS : In case you want to read up more on Moby Dick or its author Herman Melville, Google and Wikipedia are your friends. You can also find the book online at Project Gutenberg.
