This is my new project for 2020 and the Sky is the limit for random thoughts that can be captured here in this blog. Right now when we feel captured and imprisoned in our own homes, fearful of a Virus we cannot see hear smell or touch but is all over the place; It is just about invisible..We need to vent our thoughts and distract our minds.
Yes I do read the essentials about Coirona and Blog the worthwhile ones ( not political Blame games and who is suing who) but what could save lives.
In 2007, I embarked on a book Titled "Yesterday Today Tomorrow" and penned my life story before my Brain Stem Stroke in year 2000 and life Post Stroke..My sons comment still rings in my ears. He said to me "Daddu who is interested in your Story ?" meaning you are a nobody so why would any one buy your book except a few family members and friends, only to please you. I did not take any offense as he meant well in terms of book sales and money invested.
So I decided to Change Tack. At that stage of life in 2007 I had come into contact with a few thousand IIT Alumni Globally through my IIT Global Yahoo Groups with as many as 5000 odd members and as many as 10 Sub Interest Groups I had created.
I hand picked as many as 50 IIT Alumni from all IITs and asked them to pen their life stories before Joining IITs Life on campus as a student and where they were in life in 2007. No different to Yesterday Today Tomorrow in 2020.
When it was all done and I had 35 alumni sending me their stories, on of the authors Behruz Setna IITB said Rambo, this title does not reflect the Contents so how about "Reflection by IITians". A most valuable suggestion which I adopted and my Book Reflections by IITians was Printed at my own expense costing Rs 7 Lakhs for 6000 Prints and sold over 4000 copies and the money minus cost was donated to my favourite Charity Jeevodaya, a Hospice for Terminally Ill Poor Cancer Patients
This second version of "Yesterday Today Tomorrow" is open to all family and friends of mine and yours. So feel free to Join and spread the word and ask anyone interested to join.
I have listed several off the cuff topics but you can chose what ever you want. make the firts word in the caption the key word as that will determine where your article will land.
There is no time Limit, there is no limit on length or article and no limit on number of articles you can write..
THE SKY IS THE LIMIT.
Let your imagination fly. Include jpg files or mp3 and mp4s if you wish
Let the Game Begin
Lets all have loads of fun bringing this blog to life. Remember every Kareoke singer is at best a Bathroom singer like me :-) and no one here is a professional writer.
