So here I am finally! After yrs of planning to blog and hundreds of new year's resolutions later, the newest denizen of Blogosphere is here at last!
To all my potential friends in Blogoland, I extend my warmest greetings and hugs. Many of you may have been blogging since ancient times so you are called upon to guide your new friend along until he finds his feet. There is a lot that bedevils the world even as I post my first blog and we are indeed living in dangerous times. As if the scourges of war and terror were not enough, we now have the new spectres of global warming and widespread famine and drought and large scale hunger staring us in the face. And now the global recession! But the human spirit has been and will always be indomitable, and there is no problem we cannot solve if we put our heads and minds to it. May we all contribute in our own individual ways as well as collectively to making this world a better place and may we all have fun while doing so….
As for the name of my iland: Ghaasphoos. Dried grass and undergrowth. Animal fodder. Now what explains this self-deprecating, humble title? Are my thoughts and musings to be dismissed as being as trivial and inconsequential as ghaasphoos? Can my philosophies and ideologies be no more significant than the wild shrubs living in obscurity in the shadow of the mighty Oak? The more I think about it, the more it baffles me. Because whenever I have spoken to audiences all over the world, I found them paying rapt attention. Totally serious. Not one ever walked away before I finished speaking. Some mean friends claim that is because I usually speak to kids aged 2-5. Other nastier ones maintain it is due to the little 'Made in
Alright folks! I guess this self-introduction will suffice for the moment. Hope we shall meet again soon and keep running into each other every so often. Here’s to our many soon-to-be-forged friendships!
Until next time, take care….
