Welcome to the second anniversary issue of Wavelength.

Two years ago, Wavelength was born. On January 04, 2005, the first issue of Wavelength left my computer to arrive in some mailboxes. Had the issue been capable of feeling, it may have borne the same feelings in its heart that a new bride experiences when she first arrives in the house of her husband. Her thoughts are varied – she is happy yet anxious. She is worried about the first impression that she would cast on her in-laws; she is worried about failing to rise up to their expectations; she is also anxious about her ability to learn the customs of the house, she would now call her own.

The name that shall forever be etched in my mind is that of Sushil Yadav, who became the first voluntary subscriber to the Wavelength Newsletter. His subscription meant a lot to me. I read into that act of subscription, an approval of Wavelength’s approach – which fueled my passion to bring Wavelength closer to your thoughts. More subscriptions followed at a rate that increased each month. They became a continuous source of inspiration for me – they inspired me not to let go of the primary reason behind the existence and growth of this newsletter, which was the contextual applicability of the concepts discussed through it. Wavelength stands for India’s quality in eLearning and Training. I am thankful to the industry for acknowledging the capability of Wavelength’s course participants, to all our course participants for placing their faith in us, and to our elite readers for encouraging us.

January, it seems, plans to correct December’s folly. The morning fog has returned and Sun is away napping. It’s extremely cold today and my fingers are threatening to go on strike…yet when the thoughts flow, they warm up! Let us beat the cold by igniting the fire of learning. This month, the Wavelength article “, Learning Arrives at Your Doorstep!” introduces the magic that RSS weaves on the web. It introduces some patterns of learning from the future. What amazes me is that when we feel that there isn’t any way to make things better; someone somewhere comes up with an idea to do so.

For the past few months, we’ve been receiving queries for our Free workshops too. The Instructional Design for Trainers Workshop and Instructional Design Orientation Workshop were organized on January 7 and 14. The ActionScript Orientation Workshop shall be organized on January 21.

We are organizing the Instructional Design and Content Writing Training Workshops and ActionScript with Object Orientated Programming Concepts Training Workshops in February 2007.
