Hello everyone!!
I welcome you, and myself also, to my Blog "To Infinity...And Beyond...!!!"
Firstly, the Blog name. 'To infinity...and beyond!' is a well-known catch phrase of Buzz Lightyear, a fictional character from the Toy Story franchise. His name was inspired by the Apollo 11 astronaut Buzz Aldrin. When I saw him first, I was inspired by his bravery, courage and belief. Buzz believes that following rules is the way people should live their life. He's trained in several forms of martial arts and is a highly skilled warrior, an example to many. He wears a high-tech space suit. His suit has a flight system activated by a large red button on the left hand side, enabling him to fly, thus expanding his reach. The buttons on the right hand side have numerous functions such as contacting the Star Command, shooting grappling hooks, and activating full throttle. The suit also protects him from the vacuum and cold of space. It can also translate all he says into any language, even an outer space alien dialect! A retractable helmet, when activated, covers Buzz's head and allows him to breathe in space and on planets with no or little oxygen. There is a panel on the left arm, which contains all his mission details. The right arm contains weapons like a laser and a cannon for self-defense and attack. To go with all that, his belt is multi-functional as well, containing anti-gravity servos, magnets for climbing and grappling hooks!
Phew...now that's one heck of a suit (not to forget the guy inside it), isn't it? Why am I writing so much about a Toy figure, popular only with kids? Why I've detailed so much is for the simple reason that there's so much one can seek and learn from Buzz Lightyear! Each and every characteristic of Buzz and his suit signifies a must-have quality!! High-tech, modern, wide outreach, communication skills (with aliens, in Buzz's case!), multi-tasking, sustainability in all conditions, goal-centrism, ability to protect, bravery, confidence, etc etc are some of the many qualities one can derive from him and imbibe in oneself. Hence, no doubt his catch phrase, again an inspirational one, is apt for being the title of my Blog. So that is done.
Secondly, what will this Blog contain? Well, it will have pretty much everything - Mechanical Engineering, Football, Music, Movies, Ideas, Opinions, anything I find interesting and worth sharing with you, even daily stuff occasionally.
This Blog is as much for you, as it is for me. Do read it, think, share, and speak your mind.
That's it for now. Thanks! :)

I welcome you, and myself also, to my Blog "To Infinity...And Beyond...!!!"
Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.
--Albert EinsteinNow, for the obvious question, why am I starting a new Blog? The reason is again obvious that there are quite a few thoughts going through my mind all the time. And thus far I have never made any attempt to record them or put them down somewhere sometime. I feel that its time to write them down in the form of words, and share them with the world. Also, secondarily, writing extensively on the Blog will help me improve my English speaking, reading and writing skills. Hence, this Blog!

P.S.:
- I often wondered how people write such long blog posts. Well, I just got a first-hand experience, unknowingly though!
- Please excuse me if I’m unable to post regularly. That’s because at present, I’m busy with so many other things!!! So kindly bear with me.
