Inane chatter...

Only the self absorbed and the self obsessed narcissists blog. Not me, NEVER. Those were my thoughts not long back. Understandably things have pretty much changed since then. But still this needs lot of "getting used to". I will keep my first ever blog post short and sweet. My course of work these days involves lots of reading and this set me thinking that I should share my reflections on what I read, with the larger world out there. This is the raison d'etre for Gaia Gander.

The story behind how this blog came to be named is interesting. I had sent in "Gaia Gander" as a competition - title entry for the new office newsletter. But fortunately my carefully thought out gem lost in the rat race and as a consolation today I hereby, christen this blog "Gaia Gander". Now a little bit of gyan on the etymology. Named after the Greek goddess of the earth and the innate desire to visually perceive things that happen in the surroundings, through this blog I will strive to put forth my humble views on all and sundry with special focus on all issues "green and blue".
