a journey reflected...

This blog is now officially 1 year old; this time 1 year ago I ventured into the blogging phenomenon.

And how far I have come since then...

I wanted to thank all those who had taken the time and effort to read and reflect on my posts, offered their own comments, thereby initiating a most interesting and enriching discourse - to me at least - on several current and relevant issues.

There is nothing more satisfying and exciting to me than to see ideas being vigorously tossed around, dogmatic point of views challenged and new ideas put forward to replace old one - done in a spirit of respectful openness and rational fair-mindedness.

All of these are but a glimpse on the new vista of opportunities that will knock at our doorstep if we are willing to open our minds, expand our perspectives and listen to others.

It is a situation ripe with intellectual activities and counterpoints. And that must surely be a sign of a fertile ground for change and betterment.

I say, let the good times roll ;-p
