Plan for this Blog

No one really reads a blog unless it gives you tangible rewards. That's not what others think. That's what I believe. I have 37 tabs open on my browser. I have hundreds of Pocketed articles on my mobile phone. And then I vainly write this post hoping someone would read it. They won't. Not unless I do something for them.

That, in essence, was the argument I repeated to myself over the past year. Every time I sat down to share my thoughts I aborted the attempt out of my own sense of insignificance in the larger scheme of things.

Not much has changed except that in the course of two years of Graduate studies, in a subject I barely knew before I spent a year or so crash coursing through it, and in a city that grows more beautiful by the day, I have decided to write for three readers who I know will read what I write.

And so we begin once more. I won't merely restart this blog. I shall write two of them. This one will continue to carry thoughts on current affairs, sports, books and life. The other shall be more technical. I have a lot to share and to eagerly discuss from the world of economics and finance. Two years have ensured I can carry a steady stream of posts that should appeal to at least some readers.

Sing in me, Muse, and through me tell the story
of that man skilled in all ways of contending,
the wanderer, harried for years on end,
after he plundered the stronghold
on the proud height of Troy.
