Frog talk

Did you ever hear about the frog who dreamed of being a king....

Well, Neil Diamond said he became one
And except for the names and a few other changes if you talk about me
the story's almost the same one

But I've got an emptiness deep inside, and I've tried but it won't let me go
But I'm the type who sometimes swears
And i've never cared for the sound of being alone....

Just back after a gruelling day
Talking to small industrialists about the advantages of having
an awareness programme on HIV for their blue collar workers
however vary few workers in India wear blue colars
Or for that matter shirts -- at all

The government of India is doing its ostrich act
has come up with figures syaing that 0.09 percent of the
population probably has HIV

But that 0.09 percent translates into 51 million

But we know that the figures are perhaps double that number....

And so we try to shout into the roaring winds
What's the sound of being alone????

hi

Just started

But where do I begin?

How does one reach out to gather the fragrances from the ever changing winds that fill the sails of the little vessel you call life?

What am I doing here, sitting on a rickety camp cot tapping away at an ancient computer in a rat-infested village on the outskirts of Delhi and what in the blazes do i do with this thing called a blog?

Maybe there's something i want to talk about... or it's a vain attempt to recreate what it was like to be sixteen all over again.... maybe it's the realisation that one of these days I'll have to start dealing with male menopause...

Whatever be the reasons, I'm here. In the here and now.
So if you've stumbled across this clumsy page, don't turn up your nose at it pray

There's a lot for me to learn
And I've only just begun.....
