Hello Readers!!
Welcome to my blog and welcome to my first post!
During my childhood socializing had a totally different meaning to what it has today, or so I feel. We, as kids, were taken to parties/ family gatherings/maybe to the park or even to the beach? This was a medium wherein the parents ended up talking to other parents enhancing their social circle whilst the kids were... well no big guesses.. playing around to their hearts content. Though it may have seemed monotonous after a while, it did have a certain "human" touch to it.These days socializing has been reduced to a version less "human" (though this may be argued upon). Virtual socializing or "virtualizing" , if I may, would be a word that may ring a bell to many, including myself. Blogs, chat mediums, social networking sites such as the ever so famous "Facebook", Twitter and the likes have caught on to our lives to such an extent that it is hard to understand if it is doing the human society good or bad! From minute nothings to ground breaking news, all are posted on such networking sites even before they hit the newspapers.. ( I got to know Micheal Jackson died because my fiance found out on Facebook or Twitter!!). Dont get me wrong, im not here to advocate the mission of abolishing this medium of interaction, but rather here to reiterate how powerful this medium has become and is still becoming! Which brings me to the reason why I decided to join the bandwagon and create a blog! In addition, deciding to take up further studies when you have a secure full time job may be a risk that many would not be willing to take, but I did.. the result of which ... is having a masters degree and being unemployed! (Dont look at me... its those big idiots in the U.S.A that tampered with my huge lifetime plan and presented the whole world with a gift called RECESSION!).. This gives me a lot of time on my hands to write, beyond other things like finding a decent job in this crisis stricken world and so ... Jalebi Junction was created!
Many may wonder as to why "Jalebi Junction?".. the reason for me was quite simple.. Jalebi is a South Asian fried sweet dish, orange in color that is sweet but has a tangy sour taste to it as well. Junction is a place where 2 or more things come together. So I thought.. "Hmm.. what will you be writing about?".. and it occurred to me that I will be writing about everything and nothing, abstract and concrete, anything that will occur to me.. so it could be something sweet or/and something sour and ill be joining those thoughts to form my so called blog.. and hence.. Jalebi Junction.. where I am able to express anything and everything .. unlimited! :)
There you go my first post! A good lengthy version of why I bothered to start a blog and why i called it...what i called it :)!
That's all for now folks.. but do keep reading.. will be back with more.. next time more hip and happening!
Till we meet again... its J.. over and OUT!
