Friend: Jay, why don’t you write a book?
Jay: a book? on what?
F: on anything, anything non fiction, about life in general
J: whose life?
F: your life, your experiences, but make it funny
J: so you think I am funny or my life is funny?
F: no, but I think you can write funny
J: is it? hmmm.. so you think I should write a book?
F: yup, or at least you could blog.
J: hmmm..

A casual conversation with a friend over googletalk, and here I am writing a blog, or at least making an attempt to. And as I embark on my blogging endeavor a thousand questions cross my mind (ok, well actually just 4 to 5 of them): How many blogs should I write and how frequently? How big should the blogs be? Will anybody ever read what I write? Or should I just write a book instead, at least they have a ‘booker’ prize for books. I could aim for the booker. I haven’t heard of anything called the blogger prize. Maybe they will introduce one soon. If they don’t then maybe I will print a book of my blogs and compete for the booker :-) Nevertheless I will just start with a blog now and see how things go.

Readers of my blog, here I come !

PS: Apart from writing on some of the humorous incidents in my life and my take on certain issues, I also plan to write on ‘Education’. The blogs on education would cover topics relevant to Indian students, especially those exploring options for higher education (post graduation).
