Back to blogging

So sometime ago, I gave up on blogging. I found other things to keep me busy but every so often I relished the thought of putting my thoughts to paper. Many times those thoughts turned into nothing but just thoughts. That time has changed - today marks the day I am going to make an honest effort to talk about things that mean things to me personally and professionally

On a professional level I now work in the e-commerce industry - been doing it for 3 years but really hard core for the last 1 1/2 years. This time has been a blast and I have found my passion again. My thirst for knowledge in this industry is just aching to be quenched. I am amazed at the 1) power of the community, 2) the ability to find anything you want to know and share this with your friends, your followers, or just with yourself and 3) the economic engine the internet can be and continues to be.

On a personal level, I have decided to travel again and one of the things that is important to me is to document my travels. Since, 2007 I haven't done a lot of travel but with each trip, I felt like there was no record of the things I saw, learned or experienced. For me, pictures are only one aspect of travelling and although it serves an important purpose the element of writing is even more important. For that reason, blogs are going to be the way I do this (it melds by personal desire and my professional calling)

Lastly, I have decided to get back into writing b/c it also stimulates thought, ideas and discussion. I have led an amazing life and at the age of 33 I have much still to learn and experience. But what I want more than anything is to have a dialogue with others on the things I have done or seen and to look forward to what is still to come. Where will my next trip me? Why the hype behind mobile applications? Is Obama a great president? and why does everyone hate Chavez?

So, this is my comeback - as Jay-Z once retired so to did Tanbir S. Grover....but with all things in life, no one really retires - we take a break, we rekindle our passion and we come back better, stronger and more willing to take the necessary risks to continue to be successful.
