And so it all began …

I am a prolific writer.

Actually - scratch that statement. At best it sounds immodest, at worst it is untrue in comparison with the existing active participants of the blogosphere. I do write a lot. I also admit I want to write more than I usually do. A lot of the content I create is for internal corporate training purposes at Directi. To me that is an investment well-made. The value of my time spent in penning down something, will likely be derived by several hundred individuals over the years. I consider the value of any creation, directly proportional to the number of people that can use it. That is probably over-simplifying it, but it is definitely one of the more important variables.

We use Confluence internally, as our knowledge management system, individual blogs, news feed, the Directi University (our internal training corpus) et al. Many a times I find myself penning down articles which I believe deserve greater visibility than the confines of our Intranet - not just for the sake of self-propaganda (and every blogger knows the importance of that) but also for the sake of eliciting greater participation in the ensuing debate.

Enter the blog. Maybe not my daily journal. Maybe not a repository for regular thoughts. Hopefully a collection of articles that will be read, by a larger circle. At the least an attempt.
