Coming out of Age

I am very content today, finished a long pending game of AoE by winning it. AoE (Age of Empires) for me is more then a game and even at times I wonder is it's more then a cult.

I am a post grad, a professional in my late twenties and still interested in a game, sounds alien / childish / stupid to my parent's generation. But what is it which attracts me towards it, it allows me the freedom to form strategies, execute them and live them irrespective of the result.

We can say this is what we normally do in our lives.....think again? No I am not cribbing about life just that this enriches my life by making me content and bringing some entertainment value.

Out of varios versions rolled out by Ensemble Studio I loved AoE2, the reason being the right mix (for me) of visuals, strategy and features.

Have a go and you may also like it demo versions is available on the web........

Why Black

Black..... color to start the blog. Gloomy, dull, non legible.

Yet I think I was adequately inspired by the concept of blackle.com. So here I am posting the first blog entry, what more to come....I do not know exactly but probably I would love sharing all the major and minor aspects.....hey nice name "Aspects". Lo I got the title for my blog.

The aspects would range from a book review (The kite runner, being the latest I read), to invetsment, to guitar chords to gaming (with AOE, my favorite)

What not to expect from aspect is simple - my daily routine :-), moral debates, indian economy, politics and sports and other related topics

So keep watching the space (courtesy Lowe's)
