Late realisation

When I started this blog last year, it was to become a part of my autobiography, and somehow or the other I lost interest in it for that very reason-I could not think of why anybody would like to read about it. But since then I have come across many autobiographies-describing a world quite different from today-nothing out of the ordinary except for the fact that a large part of it does not exist today, and then I realised that I too, had experienced this. The context of everything that I was a part once has changed dramatically in the last fifty years, and it is this-not my part in it-would be of interest today.

Secondly, when I came over to USA to visit my son in Jacksonville, Florida, it gave me the free time to think over things from my past. When you look back after 40 years, it is fun to recollect even the goof-ups. At this distance from the event, you can look at it all a bit dispassionately. At least I hope I have acquired that non-chalance now. Let us see.
