This Blog

This blog is not geared to anything specific but I hope to offer, as the title implies, some thoughts and commentary about whatever strikes me at any point in time. I tend to be a voracious reader of the myriad offerings on the net ranging from serious subjects to the frivolous. So, at least some of my postings will likely emanate from these “surfing” activities.

The  map which appears on the header to the blog highlights the four countries – India, Kenya, UK and the US – where I have lived.  I was born in India when it was still a colony of Britain and my parents emigrated to Kenya in 1949 – a time when Kenya was a colony of the UK. I lived in Mombasa until 1962 when I moved to the UK after high school to pursue higher studies. In 1971, I emigrated to the US and have lived here ever since. The map on the header shows my path to the countries which have had a dominant influence in my life.

So welcome to this – my first – blog, activated on March 7, 2009, and do feel free to offer any suggestions or comments.
