Welcome to my new blog!


Welcome to my blog! This is a big 'Hello' to anyone who has found the time to visit (and not only because you had nothing better to do!). For those of you who require an introduction - My name is Kunal and I am a Bangalore based billionaire....I wish! Nah, I'm just an IT Sales professional (please, no comparisons to Rocket Singh, the movie sucked!) who has taken to spending time authoring a blog because my customers don't buy from me anyway ;-)

Far from being an experienced blogger, this is the first time I've attempted going online with my thoughts (save for some nonsensical ranting on Facebook once in a while) and I will, at first, seem a bit amateurish - which I hope readers will excuse me for.

Did you know that the word BLOG is a contraction of the term weB LOG? The word is also one of my favorites not only because its origin is so modernistic (an abbreviation becomes a word!), but also because it is a versatile word, capable of being used both as a Noun (my BLOG) and a Verb (let's BLOG). It was also the stock symbol for a company called BladeLogic until the company got acquired in 2008. What a word, huh?

This blog, out of my own admission, will not attempt to adhere to one theme or plot all the time. On the contrary, I'd like this to be the one place where I (and you) can rant about whatever's been making news recently...or not so recently...or whatever else pleases my evil conscience ;-D

To narrow down your guesses, here's a little bit about what my interests are: Cricket (India in the Tri Series final was a big relief), Badminton (love, absolutely LOVE this game!), Movies (Avid guff - that's one level below BUFF, because I'm a little choosy about the movies I watch), Sales (doctors tell me its in my blood), Food (Italian, Indian and American - lots of it!) and a chance to have a good laugh with friends. A simplistic approach to an even simpler life - better spent smiling than worrying about what may never happen.

Introductions out of the way, this will go down in history as my very first blog post. Tell me what you think - The good, the bad (the ugly will be deleted) and whatever other suggestions you may have for a novice on Blogger. I'll be back soon with my next post, stay tuned. Thank you for visiting.

Regards
Kunal
