Before we begin....

Well, how do i begin?? I am not sure actually, never written a blog before..I find a blog kind of ironic. Isn't it? I mean, it's basically your personal journal but one that the whole world can see, but still, here I am writing one.
I suppose a few words about the title should come next. Well, 'entsculdigung sie mich bitte' is German for excuse me please. I like to think of it as an equivalent of a term that is truly Bangalore,'swalpa adjust maadi', but in reality it isn't. So why did I choose this title? Well, I enrolled for a German course when I knew there was a good chance i might be coming here to Switzerland. For various reasons I managed to attend only a grand total of 4 classes and one of the phrases that left an ever-lasting impression on me was this one. I used to repeat it all the time and I am sure all my friends know this one German expression because of my incessant and irrational drive to master this one particular phrase.
The funny thing is now that I am finally here and can put this one phrase i know to practical use I find it terribly inconvenient to use. Imagine for a moment that you want to interrupt someone with your two penny's worth (or two rappen's worth in this case). By the time your tongue acrobatically moves around your mouth and you manage to spit out the 4 words in question, the conversation has reached an entirely different topic, and some times the people you were talking to have finished the conversation and left for their workstations while you are still there staring blankly at the wall. What does this pointless story have to do with my blog? Nothing at all(which is why it is pointless), but this is my blog and i can write whatever i want.
Anyway, I am sure this a brief sampling of what my blog is going to be like. Here's to lots more pointless stories.....
