More than two weeks ago, I was on a 5-day vacation to my native village and I sorely missed my companion. I had felt disempowered in many respects until I traveled about 30 km to get in touch with him (or should I say her?) - the World Wide Web (WWW). I needed to plug in to the internet to check handful of stuff - admission decision from an MBA school; couple of IPO oversubscription details; bottom fishing opportunities in stock market; media and entertainment industry updates - among others.
Though I can never thank this WWW phenomenon enough, let me dedicate my first blog post to it! Thank you WWW for the company and empowerment you provide!
On a related note, special thanks are due for some online gems that make my stay in the web worthwhile.
- Google - The index of the web
- GMail - The intuitive service that revolutionalized email, notwithstanding its late entry
- Wikipedia - Testimony to lot of goodwill in the world
- Google Reader - Mailbox for stuff that excite me
- YouTube - The visual treat on the net
Blogger may perhaps turn out to be another exciting dimension on the net.

I still have to try out the Reader :), but yes, these are truly the gems of this e-era. I liked the way you termed it as a companion. Quite true actually :).
