Welcome to the online Chequebook facility of Bank Anandmewa!
Whats this?
One of the main reasons behind creating this Chequebook is to give all of us a suitable platform to express ourselves. And to have a meaningful discussion on what each one of us has to say. Children, teenagers, parents, Ajji, Ajoba, everyone.
So all of you are welcome to share your thoughts, writings, comments, photography, opinions etc here. You can share your autobiography of Rancho, travelogue on the latest bird watching trip, your analysis on the current art exhibition on display at Jehangir, your attempt at Nature photography, your thoughts on the latest movie, the new trick you learnt in Origami or even your thoughts about relationships, emotions and life in general. Basically, anything that you would like to share with the group.
In fact, the success of this experiment depends on your active contributions.
Why here? And how does this work?
Welcome to the world of blogs (Blogger is Google's blogging website). Blogs are a very powerful platform to express yourselves on the internet. Millions of people have their own blogs and they make it a point to upload new content from time to time. You can write, upload, comment and share with a Blogger profile which can be created with the help of your gmail / Google account. If you havent ever read blogs, you really should go through a few. Blogs are way more cooler, effective and exclusive than social networking sites like Facebook. (honestly, lets face it. The whole world is on Facebook, including people you wish weren't). Blogs take you beyond the cosmetic 'Face' and let you read the entire 'Book'!
Now, this blog : www.thechequebook.blogspot.com is a close-ended private blog. Which means that it will be visible and accessible only to members of the Anandmewa family. And everyone of us will be ACTIVE CONTRIBUTORS. Which means that all of us can upload content on the blog, read all the content that is uploaded and comment on the content which has been uploaded by the others.
To do this, you first need to have an active gmail account.
Then, an invite will be sent to you on your gmail id which you need to accept.
Lastly, you need to create a blogger profile so that you can contribute.
(Dont worry. Even if this sounds complicated, it is very easy. And Google guides you properly thorough every step. Just follow their intructions. It is also very easy to navigate around on Blogger. It wont take you a lot of time to figure out how it works.)
What can I expect to find here?
Very easy: Whatever you have put in here. If you have filled it with your thoughts, perspectives, opinions, stories and love; you can expect to find provoking thoughts, new perspectives, intelligent opinions, gripping stories and lots of love. The lesser you give to the bank, the lesser we all get out of it. So, what you get out of this really depends upon you.
And lastly, just like any other bank, Bank Anandmewa may suffer from global problems too. They include the onset of sub-prime procrastination, recession of good topics for discussion, the foreclosure of rational opinions and the lack of fresh ideas. Now, it is up to ALL OF US to pull the bank out of these crises if (and when) they strike. And the only way we can do that is by pumping in more capital : more things to share.
Because what really matters in the end is that we deal with these issues in an effective way if they ever trouble us.
Because some banks are just too important to be allowed to go bankrupt.
