What made you start BLOGGING.... :) ???

Blogging is a great method of information sharing... I began blogging when I want to express my views to others.

1. I always wanted to document my thoughts, whatever and whenever I felt like.
2. I wanted to maintain a personal diary.

Honestly I don't remember when was the last time I wrote something on paper when I wanted to for any of the two things stated above. Also with the thought of with what I am interacting most of time and internet having become cheaper than paper by all means say cost, portability of our content, here I am blogging...!!!

Hi Raghu ....

ya u r rite... and especially when theres no one to listen... a blog can be real gud let out........

happy blogging

@ Charan : ya..... all notepads have been replaced by 'speech to text' tools.... with mobile blogging... and voice blogging on the cards.....

a personal yet public diary.... hmmm

To say all that I can't say out loud.

Its ironical to hear you shy away from telling why you blog, but blog boldly  !!!

@shrikirshna :  ya friends and random blogs are great inspirations......

@Pooja : a blog is just awesome rite.... it echoes our loud thots and views forever......

I always had alot to say and i tried to start blogging numerous times but was unsuccessful due to lack of any sort of commitment on my part. Then i met this guy who i liked. He blogged. In order to have conversation topics with him, even i became a regular...forgot the guy in a month. Sticked to blogging. Its better than anything...

So basically i always had inspiration, lacked commitment...a LOL Story. I know...and i didn't even make it up

Nice.....u made it up r not.......definitely some sort of this-age movie storyline material....!

I love writing about me and life...thats what made me a blogger.

Once i started, i got hooked to it....not to say the benefits.....its just awesome.

I think for me it was a platform to air my thought/views/opinions & also get feedback on the same.

The idea of having it all on the www which you can refer back and see....was also a trigerring factor..

I often go back to my earlier posts to see what all i was going through back at some point of time..and it feels nice...memoirs.penned down...online...

@ Charan : ... haha ... ya I was waiting for some kind of activity here before I actually tell why I blog

..... for me it was coz... the ppl to whom I wanted to tell things werent listening...... tried hard.... they initially liked me telling anything and evrything under the sun...... then ... it got boring I suppose.... so I started this....

WHY TO NAME IT

Even now its more for them to read....... although it is ignored more than often....

other fellow bloggers have been a great source of inspirations ---

kind of a Soliloquy. and a backup for all my thoughts and wants.

@ Kriti : yaaaa that was  A MEGA LOLLLLL storyyyy.....(true story) ... I pity the guy...

@ Garf : ya a google search leading to our blog can be a great booster ......

@ Magali : yes the power of feedback makes this blogging more attractive....

Let me add something else too....i have felt that blogging changes me as a person...i somehow feel like beingtrue to myself....it refines my thought, makes me look at things from a different angle and sometimes soothes me....."the B effect" ..thats what i often call it....anyone else feels this way?

@Garf - Same feelings, however sometimes I tend to feel its just me all alone having felt this way.

I started The Indian World  blog with just a nice speech I had with me. I had given a speech on India for my 10th standard oral exams and that speech has now been converted into a post - India Revisited.

After I posted this speech, I soon discovered an urge to voice my opinions about the various aspects of our nation...And thus, I started with blogging..

Infact, now, I have even completed my 100th post..so it's a great achievement for me as a young blogger..!

@parth: WOW...100th post...impressive. I am waiting for mine..mine is more than 20 posts away...nez...congrats !!!

Thank you so much, Garf! I wish you all the best..

@charan: It will make a very beaten movie story though. But since it is so typical it makes a nice story out of my life.

Everyone blogs for the very same reasons i think. It is all about expression. The thing i like about using words as a medium is that it is left to the interpretation of the reader. We absorb what we can experience.

hey kriti...ur thoughts r awesome and so ur blog........ http://drugtreatme.blogspot.com/

@Kirti - Another important thing which I would like to add to the happiness that we get out of expressing ourself is the critical feedback that may open doors for us to learn and improvise in what we publish.

Honestly, I started blogging because I was writing articles and poems in English and Hindi and wanted to try a bigger platform like Books and Magazines but think I felt it is difficult to get them printed so tried my hand at blogging. It feeds my thirst of getting my writing skills presented to the world to watch and also I get satisfaction that I am doing something productive.

@Amrit: That is cool. I know many who are into the same lanes as of yours. It surprises me that while so many out there write so good, it always is hard to get a proper platform.

One of passions right from college days was travelling. After each travel I used to meticulously write down the details of these travels in my diary. I was not a day to day diary writer, but the travels made me write.

Once I got hold of a computer, these writings slowly started happening in word files with related images, which would not be possible in a hand written diary.

I had started blogging three years back, but at that time I intended to open up my mind on various other issues. But since I did not have nothing to write in those lines there was not a single blog post. Somehow blogging about my travels did not occur in my mind.

Ever since I started updating the blog with travel diaries, posting became a routine affair and my travel experience will be deemed over only after it appears in my blog post.

Blogging should be about something which you have a natural passion for, otherwise it is sure to die down and one will be searching hard to find subjects to post.
