I don't remember when I began to blog. But I do remember why. I has just begun working and I so wanted to let fly at my boss. Instead, I let it all slip into a blog.  I say I don't remember when because the exact date I created that blog escapes me. Only the stupid satisfaction of venting my ire remains in my head!

Well, that blog is now defunct and that boss is a friend these days. The blog I post on these days I began as a sort of spoof on those stupid teleserials that rarely have any logical flow to them.

Well the spoof has ceased to be. I think that's because the teleserial it spoofed ended its run. Or perhaps, I got fed up of spoofing it altogether. Now, I just write whatever I want to:)

I blog because...

  • I am not a great writer but by blog I can express anything. Its like you write what you want to as far as it suites you.
  • It gives you an identity.
  • it teaches me about dedication, there are million of blogs but not every one continue with that. Maintaining your pace is big deal.
  • Its gives you the option to giving back to the community.
  • I have never tried it, but for people blogging is source of income. No matter what they write, no matter what type of content, they just want visitors. Cool
  • its totally expression and you yourself.

When you have more friends in cyberspace and less in real world, blogging is only way to express. 

Also it is my way to take unwind and share my experience with others.

And you never know who you are going to meet in this journey? In real or in virtual world :)

Deepak
from India |

yup.... its true man... Smile

I think, the best part is we donot know with whom we are talking? i mean interacting, that acts as a catalyst in bringing out our best abilities in expression.

In virtual world, we can control the way we express, highlight the better of us, thereby giving us chance to secure more and better friends or pals, as i call them, here. You really dont have to do much to maintain it, u have to reciprocate in terms of comments and readership.

Honestly speaking I started to blog because it was a buzz word then, so I thought why not me. But then I didnt know what to write. I started writing my everyday experiences. I just write whatever comes to my heart. That's why you see all the content is very simple nothing pompous. I liked the concept of following blogs, commenting on others, get commented back and thus making altogether a new type of virtual friends. Another advantage I've realised is , I have improved my writing skill.

Hey Unknown!

Thanks for your honest reply.  yes, its quite a trend to write a blog.  But being a Blogger and owning a blog are two different things.  We start with the latter, but gradually we work towards being the former!

True, u make virtual friends, I have many blogger pals by now. and yes, definitely, it improves the way u express. Definitely, it betters our writing skills.

I started blogging to get connected with like minded people.  Also, it is an interactive medium where you get feedback and good interaction can teach you a lot. I like to write about what I think are socio-religous and historical injustices.  I also beleive that blogs can be agents for social changes. In South Africa, where I am now, I read last week in a national news paper that there are bloggers getting keen on mattes related to national curruption etc.

However, I am new to Indiblog group.  I am slowly getting used to it.

Restless mind with a sensitive heart, I like yiour apprach to give attention to every response.

All the best

Hi Prasanna!

Thanks for saying that. That was encouraging indeed!

You description matches with what I wrote! Its a great medium of interaction. and finding ppl who honestly read and give u some views on what u write.  I also write about current social issues, and I think blogging will bring change in our society in the near future. 

BTW, did u read the Chinese Govt had to withdraw the controversial Indian flags from the Exhibition pavilion, considering the pressure from blog posts on the topic!!

so blogging has a bright future! And welcome to blogosphere!

HI restless,

My brother in law, when young ,saw the sea in Mumbai,the first time,exclaimed 'Such a big pond'.

I feel its a great sea out here and no body to say 'hey stop". you are king of your sea.

 "The creator of the first blog was James Monro, he was a traveler from Cambridge, sadly he died when his trailer crashed in to a car but luckily his blog was already posted on the internet. "

If we want to be known we must either do something worth writing or write something worth reading.

On this platform we can do both.

Its nice and encouraging .

Hi Pramod!

Thanks for sharing that info, didn't know about it.

so true, nobody is a king here. rather content is the king apart from being interactive with readers.

Aashish Sood

I started blogging because I like to read a write a lot and there are several things happening around all of us. Like everyone I had a view on them and I wanted to share it with others and see what others think of it? I am, generally an introvert and like to observe human behaviour. So, my blog also talks about some such steretypical antics of people.

All in all, I will say, my blog is more or less a reflection of what I think about people and issues!

A restless mind with a sensitive heart
from New Delhi |

The people who write things close to their minds and hearts, in an open and honest way, without trying to impress others with great views, which they themselves won't follow, find blogging relaxing and soothing.

I think, this is your case Aashish, happy blogging!

I started blogging  a year back just to let out few things which were troubling me.Slowly got addicted to it and it became my passion.But now after few unpleasant incidents I don't feel the same towards blogging.Blogging has given me some wonderful friends so I'll always stay grateful to it.Everybody should try blogging at least once.

Though it was in mind for long to start my blog, I got it started all of a sudden.  It is mainly to post my thoughts (which is much easier in blog than in any paper or magazine) which can be viewed and shared widely.
