Confessions of a Quitter

When I say, “Its been a while..” it really has. You know I started this blog with the intention of updating it on the go from my mobile phone almost a year and a half ago. However that whole GPRS thing was way to expensive for me to use on my mobile phone and so I decided I would update it the old fashion what from my computer everyday. But that turned out to be quite expensive in terms of time and so I decided I would blog once a year…that way I am bound to keep my promise to myself. Yes…New Year Resolution…aim low…and be an over achiever. Check it out…this is me meeting the target for 2006.

For those of you who have been sending me emails and posting comments on my blog, this move to actually blog again might come as a surprise to you. Well it comes to me as a surprise as well, but I thought that there is something I need to talk about. No…it is not about my new radio career in India. That is nice fun. Work is great, the people are fantastic…and yes…I have FINALLLLLLLLLLY signed up for a guitar class. Before we go any further…lets go through a brief history of my Musical Career.
