Blogging - Miles to go before.........

Embarking on this unchartered journey of glorious uncertainties the excitement which goes with the exploration of an unthreaded path successfully in the course of the expedition make the journey all the more worthwhile. Of course, right from day one, I was mentally geared for the rough and tumble of business and profession that is journalism. As I start this blog, I aim at a broad spectrum of idea fields. Thoughts and perspective, views and opinions which clash on the same issue but which generates debates, even fiery ones, will not be excluded, if as a result, it provokes fresh thinking and leads to new conclusion, I would feel a little satisfied.But will not hesitate to reopen the hidden skeletons in the cupboard. Nor will I desist from settling hesitation by the spotlight of intelligent and thinking minds - on them are those who stand on the hills. And those who stand in the valley. Both get the sunlight. Maybe the latter a wee bit later. In other words success is inevitable.I will survey the penetration of life, assess the impact of this light on people’s life and pinpoint the dark alleys still untouched by any light. I shall fill my pages from the reservoir of the reason. Compassion and sensitivity. Not easy all the time. I am not daunted by any failures. But not aiming high is an unpardonable failure.I am not unaware of the perilous days of competition. The tiger on the prowl is the electronic media. The scope of the net is unfathomable. The rules of the games are changing by the day. Even established magazines and newspapers become nervous at the mention of the power of the net. But not me. I think with vigor, plan with verve and implement with éclat.I will always try to give the full picture. The initial stages are always like a new-born baby acquiring the art of getting up on its legs. My prop are my own. My language is clear. My stand is unambiguous. The baby that gets up for the first time is a celebration of life. So my experience in blogging.As far as my readers go they can be rest assured that they will get the very best. Today is just the beginning, the first milestone has been reached, but there are miles to go before........
