Finally... I have entered the Blog-World

Saturday, December 24, 2005

Hello everyone,

So, I have finally decided to enter into this blog-world. After designing two websites, one of my own and other of the literary society of my college, I wanted to do something new on the internet. Also, I wanted to regain my ever-declining passion for writing. I found blogging as the best solution for my needs.

Designing websites and learning new scripting technologies was always interesting but during this course of time, I was not getting an opportunity to write something new. I just wrote three articles in the past one year. One a review of Rabbi Shergill's album, another a review of the movie Mr&Mrs Smith. The third one was my first technical article titled 'Building your first Website'. It took me over two hours to write this article as I made a lot of research to make the content as helpful as possible for new webmasters. All three articles can be found at my website http://gsmodi.5gigs.com

In the past six months, I thought of writing many new articles for my site but could not... may be due to lack of zeal or the boring process of editing and adding pages to your site manually. So, I thought of blogging as a better option. Whenever there's time, just switch on your notebook and start typing. I would periodically add good posts from this blog to my website.

What kind of articles you should expect from this blog?
The articles I would write may be from various interest fields including technology, music, movies and my faith Sikhism. Occasionally, I would also write some short stories and articles on other general issues. I would try my best that all articles bring to you something new, something different and something exciting...

So, here's a small orbital of this blog-world. Hopefully, from now on you would hear a lot from me.
Wishing my own blog a lot of success.
