I should not talk so much about myself if there were anybody else whom I knew as well. (Henry David Thoreau)
I’ve been writing about my life since around 1996. That was at a time when blogs had not yet gained prominence. It’s a good practice I’ve managed to keep up with till today and this autobiography serves as a good remainder of all that I’ve gone through.
Below are links of all the my Life entries from the most recent periods to the least. (You can also access these entries from the right sidebar). These entries are mostly descriptive, though with occassional reflections thrown in. The more reflective posts (about ideas, my ideals and my beliefs) can be found in the Thoughts section. Have fun reading about my life and feel free to leave your comments at the bottom of each entry!
