The Bloggers

The last time I was there at home, we (PINTU, RINTU, JULI and me) decided to start documenting our lives on a BLOG. Blog empowers. Thats what we all thought. Ours is a big family back home in Orissa. If you count all my cousins,uncles and aunts, there will be plenty of them, almost 50 in numbers. Their ages range from 5 year to 70 years. All these people can be classified to belong to three distinct generations : people who don't use Internet (or rather aren't likely to use Internet unless Internet becomes a commodity), the Internet Users Users (that makes the "we",I mentioned above) and the future Internet Users. The future Internet Users are those who are still at schools and dont have good access to Internet. Why use Internet as a criteria? Because Internet is such an agent of change that it separates you from others. It changes the way you think and work. Like while all pre Internet era people thought of doing small buisnesses and conventional 9 to 5 jobs, the Internet Era people are enterprising and have taken courage of choosing alternate careers.The idea is that it is the present Internet users will write the blog and future generations will join us . The Blog has two clear objectives: to empower ourselves and to bring us closer.
So lemme now introduce you to the people:
These two fellas (younger bros) are contemporaries. Kind of born on the same day, same hospitals but from different parents. Both of them presently live in the same house in Bhubaneswar. Rintu (the guy with the green T shirt) is growing to become a software engineer with Infosys and Pintu thinks of starting his own enterprise back home. The car obviously is not ours. Thats belongs to the owner of the rented house where we live. My sister Juli (not seen the photograph: probably shes taking the photograph) has done her MBA and looking for jobs in Mumbai. I work for a scientific organization in Mumbai.
