Seed of thought - start of a project

Note: I had this information in the home page. I decided to move to the blog believing length of this article doesn't seem right on the home page. The content is moved verbatim from homepage - Idea is to explain why I wanted to start a website.

We have put up this website to let our family, friends and well wishers know what is going on in our life. There is another compelling reason to start this web site, that is to reach out an another targeted set of people - guess who!

In all humbleness, they are none other but - The Future Generation. We would like to pass on our life experience as it is happening. This may appear trivial, redundant and irrelevant to a matured mind. But if it can give any young mind a different perspective of looking at things then consider our mission is accomplished.

There is also a selfish motive behind this. We observed that when we think through and write about all things that matter we will unearth hidden side of our personality that we ourselves does not know. If we can do that and tell you what you have not thought before, so you all will.

The idea of website started when we felt we need a forum to facilitate that information exchange - what better forum then ubiquitous web medium. CMS (Content Management System) software and Web 2.0 ideas made this task that much more easier (Please google it if you don't know what they mean). We will try to update our website as much as we can. Please stop by whenever you have time and leave us the feedback as much as you can. We need that.

We have used two open source projects in ASP.Net to power this website. Thanks to Subtext (blogging software) and My Web Pagers Starter Kit (MWPSK). We are customizing the code and if we come up with generic features that everyone may like, we would love to contribute to the open source community.

This site is currently hosted on godaddy.com. If you want to setup your website and don't know how to proceed then please visit the following blog.

(We will write it pretty soon, please bear with us)

Hope you will find our site interesting. Please do check out our blogs

Greetings from

Natasha and Ramu

By promoting the website in the engineering colleges, universities etc through myself, friends, relatives. If the kids are convinced and read by blogs.... then we are connected.

I like the ideas behind your website. I will certainly return on a regular basis to read your thoughts and perhaps gain some inspiration myself.

Buddies,

"Good Start is half Done", but every thing that matters is how we convince everybody to agree, it is a good start. Hope you folks did that.

Although by virtue of profession, I am not "Windows" and Mouse Clicking guy, I do it for the sac of getting acquaintence with my job of daily routine, as irrespective of any profession, there is a great danger that you may be termed as an out dated guy if we don't act like knowing the basics of Windows and Mouse clicking.

Good Luck .........
