Cryonics - preserving the 'dead'

I stumbled upon this word "cryonics" when I was studying from my Mike Martin for my 'Professional Ethics' (7th sem anna university) exam. I remembered seeing something like this in Discovery channel some good 4-5 years back (ya..ya I can't remember on what context this word was mentioned in Mike Martin....guess I have short term memory loss but my long term memory is still good). So I just googled and the results were fascinating.

What is cryonics ?
Cryonics is the preservation of legally dead humans or pets at very low temperature (below −200ºF, −130ºC) in the hope that future science can restore them to life, youth and health.
-whoa! looks like its right out of a science fiction movie.

I just decided without a second thought that I should be frozen after my death.

Just think ...your body frozen and suspened for years and you will be back form the dead after millions of years!
hey! if you are worried about the cost of cryopreservation then you can go for the "neuro" option - it involves ripping off your head and freezing it (not applicable for people without brains).
hmm.....'frozen severed heads' .... sounds exciting!

Today I become a blogger...

Why I have started blogging ?

I had never liked the idea of blogging. It was hard for the pessimist in me to accept the idea of people reading and commenting about my life. I was afraid. But day by day blogging was growing in popularity.....and then out of curiosity I started exploring the world of blogging. My friend then introduced me to this blog. It was a blog by a person who seemed married , well educated and some of the posts they .... they were .. gross (no offence meant here). Ok everyone thinks of something like that or the other but why would a person want to let others know of it ... it made no sense ... it was unlogical. I gave a second thought to my strenghts .... my strenght was in hiding my weakness... in keeping private things private. Then I thought about my weakness .... my guru always said I ought become more interactive .... it had become a habit for me to shun people and stay alone. I had also become arrogant .... "why the hell should I let others commet about my life ... am I not mature enough to know what is right and wrong?". I was not (I reasoned it out that no one can be). I needed to change. I needed to talk. How could I talk about the other side of my life and still avoid the face to face embarrassment ?. The answer was in blogging. It now made sense . To guy like me who looks for logic at everything in life it felt logical.
Well this may be quite suprising to even my best friends to see me talk like this. Its time that I let myself known to you.
