The Purpose

Why am I here in this world? 

Why was I born and why as a Human? 

What is my Purpose?

Questions.........These are some of the questions I have been asking myself for many years. Do I have the answers? The answer will be a simple "no". 

Why don't I have answers to these questions? I guess I am not old enough or as most elders say “not experienced enough” to understand the secrets and value of this life. To me it is just another question that has to be added to the list of unanswered questions……

So, what is the Purpose of this Blog?

I do have the answer to that question. I have been thinking about starting a blog for a long time (OK, fine only three years). After so many years to reach somewhere in life, I feel like I can relax a little bit now. Getting close to finishing my graduate degree, I feel another phase of my life is coming to an end. This is the point where I am trying to pick up hobbies, activities that I can enjoy, that will let me look back at my day and help me analyze the hidden meaning, the lessons I learned, prepare myself for the next day or the next hurdle in life. This blog as mentioned above will be a similar attempt, something that I will have to try for myself to understand its usefulness. The goal is to write about the things I do and enjoy in my day to day life, it could be a new lesson I learned in my life, a cool new software, gadget, website etc I came across or even some advice (not trying to be a wise man) I can give to people out there looking for some direction. It could be anything, random stuffs just like our life.  I will end this post with a quote, my uncle gave me this advice and it always had been a mantra for me in my life…..

“An Intelligent man learns from his own mistakes, a Wise man learns from his own and from others mistakes and a Fool............he will never learn.”
