why shud i blog????
Have been thinking of writing a blog 4 sometime now…I read about blogging first time in a newspaper….the same day I had an interview for my summer training…At d interview, dey askd me my hobbies….nd guess what all I said….
Me- ‘sir, playing cricket, sudoku, music,and…BLOGGING’
(My mind- how did dat come out?????)
Interviewer- ‘ Ok , u blog?’…
‘ehhh… yes sir’
'Which site u blog thru??’
( bachoo gaya tu, aur ban smart)…..
‘ Sir, indiatimes’….
‘ Ok, wat was d latest topic u blogged on’
( seniors wer right…interviewer ko charana ain’t dat easy, bt I had 2 come up wd smthn)
‘ Sir, d honda incident at gurgaon, where d workers wer beaten up’
(I suppose dis is wat ppl call presence f mind)
‘Ok, dats gud, how long u been doin dis??’…
( doin wat???? fooling interviewers….)
‘ Sir, just started wd it’ ..
I am pretty sure, it was this new found hobby of mine that got me through… so I felt I need 2 blog atleast once…but somehow, I couldn’t convince myself ‘Why shud I write’? Nd what would I get out f it???? Som comments from frens hum I can tel d same thing direct…so why take so much pain?? Thought my friends could answer my question…so I asked them…Here’s what some of them said:
--‘Its an outlet for all d creative energy within u’ (“ creative energy”?? bade bade funde huh!)
--‘Mast time pass hai’ ( Time pass hi karna hai, toh won’t I go nd play cricket or gossip, instead?)
--‘I blog, coz I just love doin it’( but why did you start in the first place?)
But the best reply came from a close friend who has been blogging for some time now…he thought long and hard bout it…den with an embarassed look said “ I dunno… bt u gave me a good topic 2 blog on”…
( ‘Thanx buddy, u wer a big help!!!’)…
Nd 2 seal it 4 me…..few days back, a friend of mine, askd me 2 post a comment on her blog….( cudn’t say no 2 her, esp. considering d fact dat she hardly gets any comments)
'cool,il do it, dat ain’t a big deal'…
I read her blog…she had written at length bout how she was BORED wd everythin….was pretty funny, the things she wrote….I thought long and hard what comment 2 write….must have taken me ages( coz. she askd ‘wats takn u so long’? … ‘poor net speed’ I said..) nd wat I finally wrote was total crap ( needless 2 say)….it was den dat I realized blogging is not my cup of tea ….yaar I am so conscious about wat ppl wil say… wat if dey write comments like ‘ it was crap’ or something like ‘ sharad, u b8r go nd play cricket…’
so, how come I be writing now???? Four reasons I could think of
…1) it’s raining outside, so can’t play cricket, nd studying wd exams so far away, I wud become d laughing stock f d hostel
2) Atleast it’s better dan killing time thinking all d crap dat I love to think bout…..
3) i won’t tell all my friends about d blog….dat way probability f getn bad comments( which can be a threat 2 my budding blogging career) goes down…
4)coz then if someday, someone comes up to me and asks why i blog..then i could give him those bade bade funde's ( it's an outlet for your creative energy...i just love doing it..bla bla bla )
Ain’t these ample reasons 2 write a blog???

why shud i blog?? well i guess the answer comes from ur status msg "I know it's a mistake, but there are certain things in life where you know it's a mistake but you don't really know it's a mistake because the only way to really know it's a mistake is to make the mistake and look back and say 'yep, that was a mistake.' So really, the bigger mistake would be to not make the mistake, because then you'd go your whole life not knowing if something is a mistake or not."
read this post today :)
thot of commenting.. opened comments page, read the comments already given.. then thot of giving comment on pri's comments rather than ur post..
