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

Why I chose "Ramu World"

Update: My home page is up and running. Blogs are redirected from the home page now

First let me tell you that I am very happy to finally get my blog up and running. This has been a dream for a while. Glad I finally found time to do it. My idea is to have full blown web site with blogging as the main feature. My home page will be redirecting to blog page until I get my home page content ready.

Coming to the point, my contention is that we don't strictly associate the word "world" with either the Earth or the Universe. Because they define physical attributes rather than life in it. When we say world, its almost always is physical space along with life that occupies it.

Think about it, world is always subjective to life/people that inhabit it. Water world, western world, different world and so on. In the same vein, the world means different to every person that live on this earth. Every person perceives that world with their knowledge, scope and exploring instincts. We build a concept of "world with people" as we have experienced it. We constantly refine that concept. So in that sense, at present time we have over six billion worlds in existence built in as many brains (I hope got current population right).

My intention of this website is to share the world as I have understood and have been refining. I know no other world that is not in my conscience. But I am inclined to broaden the horizons of my world in every facet of it (technical, cultural, political, fun, play and everything thing that is fascinating), I hope this website fulfills that ambition.

For you to help me in this quest, I am presenting you my world, the Ramu World.
