Playing Dead

I think the longest I have been away from blogging is 2 days when I was on a bus to Mangalore.  But daily I take rest from blogging from 3.00 am to 6.00 pm 

may be 6-8 months [precision error suspecting]

A year!! November 2011 to November 2012 

Last year when I started blogging I had a daily schedule. Then suddenly I "grew" and started working on sets for Contests, newspaper, magazines, etc. and still wanted to keep the daily schedule. All this while trying to keep my performance level up as a participant in other contests, and balancing academics with it too, and wanting to make sure I spend time with close friends too. Sleep and food were the only things I really forgot about. Pretty soon (Duh!) I faced a burnout, had a few nasty illnesses and just stopped almost everything, for a month. I think thats my longest time away. Thankfully I've learnt to manage my time better since. 

While my blog isn't your normal everyday blog, its still a lesson on not taking up too many things and working a low schedule so that you don't get forced out of it.

4 months - Nov 2010 to Feb 2011

Even though I am around 5 months old in the blogging world, I have played dead for 15 days The amusing thing was, I wasn't off the forum and IndiTalk during that time I wonder what that says about my dedication toward my blog

I was off blogging for around 6 months from Feb '12 to July '12 when my daughter was born. I returned back because I found a new love-writing fiction. With the hectic schedule at work and looking after a baby back home, it's becoming increasingly difficult to write regularly

Though I don't remember exactly the longest stretch that I went without blogging but yes, there have definitely been a few blogging breaks for me. Thankfully, my blogging friends, my travels and my wish to share my travel experiences with other travel lovers has always kept me inspired to keep blogging. 

Longest was like 3 years back when i used to post once in 6 Months (mainly because of Procarstination), I still post once in two-three Months and expect my Blog to be popular (mainly because of Laziness). still figuring out how i can be a full time Blogger!!

From Nov'22 2009 - Jan'20 2011 I did not do a single post. Then in the next 80 days or so I published about 70 posts! The Cricket World Cup'2013 was the tournament which ignited the fire of blogging again in me.

I was in exile from December 2005 to May 2008! My blog never saw me. 

I am always in semi permanent exile. 

My blog has been silent for more than a week now :( 

Mounting work at home and office have not let me come a mile near my blog. Let's see how things go next week

2 months .. These days I do not blog as frequently as I used to do. On any given time, I do not blog consistently, more in bursts and sprints. 

I hate having routines and being 'consistent'. I do stuff when the inspiration strikes. I would love to be regular though, only if my muse stays strong with me! I had a blog for a few months and then ditched it for over a year and then started the current one

2 weeks!...i can't imagine staying away from blogging more than that period of time!

Almost two and a half years :)

Something happened, so I deleted the blog and instead wrote a novel about that! Got it published and it somehow got the title of a national bestseller (I still wonder how or why, lol)

What inspired me to come back? Uhm, the reason is simple. I wasn't over with writing. I wasn't done just merely with a novel. Writing saved me, in every possible way a person can be saved :)

Whole of 2012.... actually, I was away as I didnot have an internet connection.. :/

I started blogging in 2005, just a few posts.  Didn't blog in 2007 and 2009. Work/other commitments/lack of interest, so many other variables.  I've tried to be a bit more regular since Sept 2012 inspite of a hectic work schedule.  I guess I want to write a little more than just posting a few lines.  Something that satisfies me and makes me happy with what I've done.  Though sometimes I cringe at my words.  Would love to get feedback but it's a jungle out there and irregular bloggers like me barely get any.

I had started blogging in 2007 just to jot down myriad feelinds via poems and stories. Wasn't a regular blogger, this went on till 2010. Then I stopped, for three years as I had lost the motivation. I used to write, but not on a blog. 

Moved to a new city in the beginning of 2013, dabbled this and that in a troubled career spanning 3 years, and one fine day in January, I decided to collate all my previous posts and revamp my blogs, in English and Bangla. Of course, the inspiration this time had been a few fellow bloggers, loved their work and wanted to do much more.
