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.<\/p>\n
The images which appear on the header to the blog include well-known\u00a0landmarks in the four countries – India, Kenya, UK and the US – where I have lived.\u00a0 The only one that warrants further explanation is the image of the tusks – in Mombasa. These tusks were built as a gateway of sorts to Kenya when Princess Margaret was visiting the country in the late fifties – a time when Kenya was a colony of the UK. I felt that including these images is appropriate since the countries they symbolize have played an influential role in my life.<\/p>\n
Other images include those of my family and a few taken during our travels to various countries. The images rotate at random each time one reloads a page or clicks one of the links within the blog.<\/p>\n
So welcome to this – my first – blog, activated on March 7, 2009, and do feel free to offer any suggestions or comments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
