How to start the maiden blog?

If any of the unfortunate souls out there stumbles upon this title and mistakes it to be a primer on blogging, my apologies at the outset! this is more of a "loud thinking", as I had never been to this part of the blog world ever, except reading and forwarding interesting ones!

Then why did I venture into it now? there are multiple reasons, with the most important ones being

1) I am not employed in any organization and so no one listens to me in a company
2) I have grown old (shall we say past the normal retirement stage) and so one listens to me at home
3) My letters to the editors on "critical matters of vital importance to the security and prosperity of the nation" were never published!! the only saving grace in such a situation is the amount of money I saved (for myself, needless to add) through by not using the paper, ink and postage, since all my letters were through  email only.

Earlier, when people changed the topic of discussion, I did not take the hint and continued with my obsessed viewpoint, but now I take the hint, but very slowly, due to age.

I want to talk, but nobody listens and so what should I do? blogs come in handy. As Dennis the Menace once commented, "thinking is when your mouth stays shut and the head starts talking to itself". So I am not talking to anyone, my head is talking to itself and I am only transcribing (like a faithful secretary) what my head it talking.

You do not have an option to change the topic; either you read or you change the webpage, but whatever you do, I will never know and that is a big relief!!

My intent here is look at small things in political, social and educational spheres and I do hope whoever comes across this place by accident, will read to agree or disagree!
