The Beginning

They say that necessity is the mother of all invention. I couldn't agree more.

This blog is borne out of adversity. It is because of the tumultuous road that I have taken when I decided to pursue my postgraduate programme at Fletcher School, Tufts University, that made me decide to start this blog as a journey log. Because I refuse to yield to the conventional path that was offered to me, the organisation which I serve with utter dedication will not support my pursuit at Fletchers. It is with great difficulty and pain that I had decided to take the road less travelled and to end my career in a job that I loved passionately because of its patriotic purpose, its excellent leadership and talented people.

This sacrifice have made me more resolute that before, that I will without a shadow of a doubt, extract the full value of the programme at Fletcher School this coming fall. It is therefore necessary that I capture my thoughts and learning in the most suitable medium available.

I have chosen to write this blog to publish my journey of my upcoming programme in hope to ignite discussions and to solicit new perspectives. I will attempt to utilise the full interactivity that the Internet can provide in enchancing my learning journey.

This is the story of a new phase and journey in my life. This is the beginning~!
