Q: Why do people create Blogs?
A: So that other Blogs get to know them?
Well,,,I guess people blog for a variety of reasons- To get rid of boredom, to express themselves when nobody else wants to listen to them, to establish to others the"Hey,,I can be a blogger too" kinda spirit. Some people can surprisingly just not get off the keyboard- all they wanna do is just type and type away to glory. Seriously I knew this chap who was blogging all the time just coz he loved to type- and guess where he ended up- teaching at a University about "Blogging Skills"..! I don't believe blogging skills exist per say. All one needs to possess is the ability to continuously recollect the most boring incidents in life and paint them in dramatic colors which will make a bored idiot surfing the net grin and smile! (u think that dosen't happen? think again!!) Why else do peopple blog? Am sure some of you might say I love writing, I love talking, I love expressing myself-- But come on -- those reasons are what everyone gives! You are different now,,aren't ya?! if you are- you need to come up with the truth about why you blog and what makes you wanna blog more. Let me see--The reason why I blog is that i don't have enough time to talk about happennings in my life to the people who matter. I blog coz its my vent to the outside world- my friends and my family whom I talk to 'now and then'. The 'Now and Then' syndrome is defined as,"If and only if I have time in the week after I've finished a hard weeks work, after a long commute on the BART, after soothing all the head aches and the body aches, after if I ever get a chance to relax". The 'Now and Then' syndrome happnes once a week if at all and persists for 1/24th of the day. See....See!! Now if it weren't for all those people who matter to me, I'd be another of those insufferable professionals who are continuously working at their desks with laptops and paper and reports bottling up their lives in one tiny brain! So the most important reason why I blog is coz of the people I know and who matter to me.
Now that we've got that across, I'd be interested to see some answers or responses as to why you blog.
If anyone is wondering about the title of my Blog- its my fav character in all the books I've ever read. its a must-read for all who love to re-live their childhoods in stories. if you enjoyed floating paperboats in the monsoon, if you enjoyed listening to granmamma's stories and saying "Please granny, once more", if you loved going to school and doing things which were not suppossed to be done yet you still did it purely becoz it made you happy, you will love this book.
