Inevitably the question of why you start a blog comes up under the title of ‘The First Post’. For me it’s a little different. I started my first blog on blogspot on New Year’s Eve last year, and I wrote semi-regularly, on a wide range of things. It was mostly for personal interest. I mean I enjoyed writing, I thought it was useful to articulate my thought process on paper, or in this case in code. I was then referred by a mutual friend to the gold folk at College Mogul with whom I’ve been writing a column every fortnight.

But one of my primary values in life is independence. Once there’s anything ruling over me, or a mandate I have to adjust to, I just get incredibly uncomfortable. And not the type of uncomfortable that I enjoy. That’s the uncertainty in everyday that I enjoy, the risk, the sense of the unknown. This is the uncomfortable that is genuine discomfort. Don’t get me wrong, I love the folk at CM and for the 3.5 people who probably read my posts on CM, minus the two friends I always make read it, leaving that 1.5 person reading it, I’ll still continue posting there. And to the credit of the CM team, with no thanks to me, they actually manage to drive around 10,000 uniques to my B.S. every month.

This blog is really for my ramblings, just the way I like them. It’s not supposed to be highly searchable and optimized, I don’t care too much if I piss off people or institutions I’m not supposed to, this is me giving it to you straight.
