Why this blog?

Recently I attended Elie Wiesel's speech. For those who don't know, Wiesel is a holocaust survivor, nobel laureate and a reknowned speaker. His unequivocal message- Speak up! His exhortation was regarding the deafening silence that most people maintain out of indifference, to awful things happening around them. It was an epiphany. Though political, his message reverberates broadly, as in stressing the importance of voicing opinions rather than succumbing to the in-vogue 'conspiracy of silence'. At this moment, I am quite optimistic that this effort of mine will lead to something purposeful. Yeah, talk about vanity.

I intend to have a civil discourse on whatever makes its way out here. I hope that those who participate will pitch in with their thoughts, without comprising the overall propriety. Being a proponent of free-speech this blog will strive to maintain an inclusive spirit. Violators' posts will be yanked.
