Blogging - the journey I love

It all started some 7-8 years ago when a friend of mine studying in a elite college told me that he reads people's blog. He used to get unlimited internet connection in his hostel and was an addict. Bewildered at his words I asked "What is a blog?" When he told me about it I started reading few. I was studying Engineering and was not as fortunate as him to get an unlimited net connection. I had to coax the Airtel guy for not giving us proper 3G signal in our hostel (mind , in those days 3G was just launched and not every area had got it. If u get a 2G thats pretty good enough).

Back at home I used to stick to the computer chatting with him and surfing the various sites. There grew the urge to write my heart's content. I thought of giving it a try. I was not sure how to write and whether anyone will read it or not. As human beings we are always afraid to take the first leap. Once you are within it , your fear goes. I was tempted to write about my personal thoughts that too somewhere different from my diary.
There I went opening my 1st blogspot account and started with a movie review.

As years passed by the blogging continued. I enjoyed it thoroughly and its still my favorite pastime. The best part of it is I am not dutifully bound to it. People lack interest once anything becomes a duty. If any idea pops up in my mind I sit down and write it. Being moody I sometimes lost interest but that doesnt stop me from writing. I have invited people including my friends and colleagues to read and comment. Their honest criticism help me to look forward and improve.

In recent times people are more engaged in writing biographies and personal thoughts as a book hence the importance of blogging has  increased manifold. My best critic is my English Mam who read my blog posts and commented "Never give up on your passion dear." They say what your nature is will be reflected on your writing. I am too straight forward and believe in writing or talking to the point. Anything beyond that is something that can be ignored.

Coming to indiblogger I have found so richly talented people that its a complete pleasure sitting and reading their posts. Many are informative, some are funny , some are witty. I am amazed at the number of members this site has. It brings me sheer joy when I find people taking their time and reading my post or commenting.And with Indispire topics I am now never short of any topics to write my blog post. I dont write for all of them though( I am choosy about it).

For the last 7-8 years of blogging irrespective of any progress or improvement on my side I have just loved writing. Its just that I am the owner of my own kingdom and I can write whatever I like. The freedom and also boundless nature of blogging has given me the true essence of satisfaction.

The tagline of Indiblogger beautifully says "We blog therefore we are"....Happy blogging.
