So this is where it all started...

Hello,

My name is Reginald and I'm from India.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. You've probably been too bored, or you're someone I know or you're just looking for something different. Either ways, I hope what I write here can be of some consequence.

I know it has to me. As I type, i'm thinking back to the time when an online presence meant having an email account. I quite distinctly remember the first email account i created - at Rocketmail.com, which was later bought by software biggie MicroSoft. I later graduated to making my presence stronger when I discovered my first IM client! Talking to a stranger across the globe sure felt good and when you're young, all you want to do is "learn" about different people, their cultures, their lifestyles. Over time though, I learnt that it's easier to stick to the Discovery channel or National Geographic.

Having a website was quite obviously the next step and so off I went to create my first website. I cant remember the URL now but it was all about video games. If I did create a site now, it'd still be about video games. This passion led me to sign up on a few forums where gamers could meet and I started with www.skoar.com/forums and have stayed their since. Online presence made with extreme predjudice!

While the pitfalls of an online presence have reared their ugly faces quite often in the news, it's very satisfying when you actually see something good come from it. Quite like a Pandora's box, except that this is no story. This online presence has brought me into contact with some serious gamers and non-gamers and i've probably made friends for life. I've also learnt alot of things that they'd never show on the Discover channel :-). A highly satisfying experience even though this is the kind of stuff my other friends just dont get.

So here's my next step. I'm out to try something new. Learn something new. Meet new people. Get more ideas and hopefully die a happy man.

You still here? OK...welcome to my blog. It's called Randomization because life and your thoughts can never be themed. How could it be? If it were, it'd be perfect. Irony or coincidence? Who knows? But what I do know, is that Randomization, is here to stay.
