Introduction to the blogging world.

I've always heard of Blogging and its advantages. It used to look wierd to me that I type my thoughts on the net and the whole world reads it. But now, I have a different view....The day I started my work as a software engineer, I realised, I need to start blogging not just to while my time, but to store my memories and experiences......

Coz Life is full of experiences and memories...to remember them forever I am recording them in this blog. Live life to the Fullest!
