Why Blog?

This is my first experience with blogging. Why blog? For me, this is an opportunity to express my views on topics that I am interested to comment on. Rather than write full length articles, I thought blogging would be a quick informal alternative. Often, I had wanted to comment on many things but found it daunting to write a carefully crafted paper for the press etc. For those who might come across this blog site and read what I will write in the future, I do hope they find what I have to say to be useful and informative. Welcome to my thoughts!
