Who da Dot?

Hi! Welcome to my blog.Glad you could stop by..
I suppose for a beginning, an introduction would be in order. So here goes. My name is The Elite Dot. Why?..Well.Picture a 43 kg 24 year old (read skinny), living on a speck of an island somewhere adrift in the Arabian Sea and you can imagine the dotness of it all. The 'elite', ofcourse, is just for style :)

I am a singleton - a phrase borrowed from Bridget Jones. And I work as a researcher on an island (see above) whose job is to study sea turtles. For those of you who think nature should come with an instruction manual and insect spray cans, sea turtles are large, longlived reptiles - often called the ancient mariners of the sea. This is not a technical blog so basically think large, think scales and think mostly harmless :)

Ok. So formalities done with, let me explain what the hell I'm really doing here on the bustling blogscape of the world wide web, the last place to look for an amateur field biologist (!!). Also clearly this expanding metropolis has more than its share of ramblers and time-wasters who only love hearing the sound of their own typing. So what do I have to say thats so goddamn different? Well...perhaps not much in terms of wordly wisdom, insight and intellectual gyaan, but perhaps seeing as I have an unconventional lifestyle, maybe you can get a glimpse of what its like to live in a place thats NOT growing six multiplexes/km every day, waking up to the sound of actual roosters and not annoying cellfone alarms, working at a job that essentially inlvolves long beach walks and swimming in lagoons as opposed to inhabiting a cubicle marginally bigger than yourselves. If you've ever wished your life was different, this blog will let you in on snippets on what its really like to get out of civilization and 'get back to nature' so to speak. You might eventually decide on second thought that your cubicle looks quite comfortable after all and decide not to break up the longstanding love affair your butt has developed with the revolving chair. But that's ok. This aint a sales pitch..This is the colour of grass on the other side of the hill....
