Why I Blog?
I started a blog out of a quietly eagersense of curiosity, after reading about this hing called “Blogger” ina technology column. Knowing absolutely nothing about blogs andpersonal websites (or blogging), I set one up and entered my first“post” late that night :
HiBloggers!! With the ever growing culture of writing blogs, I alsodecided (eventually) to mark my presence on the internet through thisexciting new medium. (Although)I have few mail id’s , an extremelyconvenient orkut account , a yahoo chat id ,an esnips account with morethan 2 lakhs visitors and last but not the least the activesubscriptions to many forums of my choice…With so much in hand I neededsome prominent reason to start my blog..As I am….by nature….I don’tstart the things that I can not manage, moreover I do not want to doinjustice with any of the services offered ….I had a discussion goingon in my mind about the dilemma weather to start a blog or not atall…the first thing that I was in the favor was that its like mypersonal (or rather public) diary. It is the reflection of my thoughtin the internet mirror. Its the real ‘me’ in the virtual Web…I couldnot stop myself from getting the funny idea that “A time will come whena person’s biography will b nothing but the chronologically orderedpages of his blog.” Honestly (and technically) speaking, it is not myfirst blog wrote a detailed note about my first visit to “InternationalOne Day Cricket Match” between England and India in Firoz Shah KotlaCricket Stadium in 2006. That was on the Yahoo 360(http://360.yahoo.com/reflextarun) but as that was not written with thesame intention so I don’t consider it… So here I am writing my firstblog. The next big question that held me was the subject about which Iwould start writing. Till now, I just wrote technical article basicallyregarding troubleshooting Windows and other tweaks and tricks…So what Ineeded was a subject or rather anything that would set me writing…acenter about which my Blog-circle goes around…As you might have guessedand experienced as well, Human Mind does not hits the right spot whenyou are exactly searching for it…Its not like Mr. Google who findsmillions of results with almost any keyword. After much hips and hops Ifinally decided to write whatever I thought about this blog thing Sowhat you are reading right now is the outcome of the above discussion.
Why I blog?
Well there are several answers to that question. But the main reasons are:
7. I’m a creative genius, who’s just exploding withundirected potential, looking for a release to express myself. BlahBlah Blah ..(you should be laughing at me right now)
6. Hey it’s this or finish that last do-it-yourself project I started.
5. I need to practice my typing and speeling spelling skills
4. I’ve tried complaining to my family and they won’t listen. So I’m going to complain to the internet instead.
3. Working late into the night with the lights on pisses off the cockroaches and makes me
2. I’ve been reading several blogs for quite a few years. And whilereading a blog doesn’t make me blogger. It did make we want to give ita shot.
1. There are a lot of things I want to write down. Some so I won’tforget them, some so my children won’t forget them, and some justbecause (again blah blah blah…)
“I cannot say with certainty which of my motives are the strongest, but I know which of them deserve to be followed.”
