why do i blog?

I’ve been reading quite a few blogs these days. Some funny, some interesting, some thought-provoking, some little personal, some too spiritual … everything. I can see every type of blogs there, in the so called ‘blogosphere’.

I have also been observing one thing. Some bloggers seem to have kind of dilemma about blogging, or may be they have many questions for which they don’t know the answer. Few questions I can see are:

Why do I blog? What if I don’t blog? Who’s gonna bother about it anyway? Do I get enough readers? What’s the credibility of blogging as a writing form? Will anyone consider it as a serious form of writing? and so much more…

Well, that’s about others. All these questions I cud see made me think about myself. Why do I blog? Answer is ‘simply, just like that’. I really don’t have any expectations from this thingy. I don’t intend to change the world thru my precious posts, and I don't really care about number of hits my blog page gets.

Giving it some more thought - I wonder how I hung on to this thing for so long. I wonder because I lose interest in things too soon, and I know for sure that anything that holds my interest for quite long is something i need to think about. Me, being a procrastinating Piscean, haven’t updated my blog page regularly; n I know I am not gonna to do in future either. I am just too lazy for that. Lots of subjects pop up in my head saying ‘blog me’, and I just push them back saying ‘not now, later’. Even at this moment I can think of more that 20 subjects to write about, but I keep pushing the thought to endless morrows.

More thoughts about it, and I have the answer. If I read this blog say after 20 years, I am sure it’s going to bring a smile to my face, n that’s reason enough to blog.

Good point - it works as a journal where one can unload things to make room for more stuff!

ನೀವೇ ಯಾಕೆ ಆ ಕೆಲ್ಸ ಮಾಡ್ಬಾರ್ದು? ಅಥವಾ ಮಾವಿನರಸರನ್ನು ಕೇಳೋಣ್ವಾ?

ನಾನು ಕಾಮೆಂಟಿಸೋದು ಕಾಲೆಳೆಯೋಕೆ, ನೀವೇನಂತೀರ?

ಮಾವಿನ ರಸಾಯನ ಅವರು ಈಗಾಗಲೇ ಕಾಮೆಂಟಿಸೋ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಸಂಶೋಧನೆಗಳನ್ನು ಕೈಗೊಂಡು ಪಿಎಚ್.ಡಿ ಮಾಡುವ ಸಾಧ್ಯತೆಗಳು ದಟ್ಟವಾಗಿವೆ. ಆದಕಾರಣ ಅದನ್ನು ಅವರಿಗೇ ಬಿಟ್ಬಿಡೋಣ. ಆಗದೆ?

ಮತ್ತೆ ನಿಮ್ ಪ್ರಕಾರ, ನಾನು ಕಾಲೆಳೆತಿದ್ದೀನಾ? ಅಥವಾ ನಾನೇನಾದ್ರೂ ಕಾಲೆಳೆತಿದ್ದೀನಾ? ನಮ್ ಗಂಗೂಲಿಯಂತೆ

ಗಂಗೂಲಿಯನ್ನ ಚಾಪೆಲ್ ಚಪ್ಪಲಿ ಕಾಲಿನಿಂದ ಝಾಡಿಸಿ ಕ್ರಿಕೆಟ್ ಮೈದಾನದಿಂದ ಆಚೆ ಕಳಿಸಿದ್ನಲ್ಲ, ಅದಕ್ಕೇ ಕಾಲೆಳೆದುಕೊಂಡು ಕಾಲ್ಚೆಂಡು ಮೈದಾನಕ್ಕೆ ಹೋಗಿರ್ಬೇಕು..ಬೇರೆಯವರ ಕಾಲೆಳೆದು ಬೀಳಿಸುವ ಆಟ ಹೇಗೂ ಅವ್ನಿಗೆ ಇಷ್ಟ ಆಗಿರುತ್ತೆ, ಆದ್ರೆ ಒಂದೇ ಒಂದು silly ಡೌಟ್, ಕ್ರಿಕೆಟ್ಟಲ್ಲಿ ಒಂದು ಗೂಟದಿಂದ ಇನ್ನೊಂದು ಗೂಟಕ್ಕೇ ಕಷ್ಟಪಟ್ಟು ಕಾಲೆಳೆದುಕೊಂಡು ಓಡುತ್ತಿದ್ದೋನು ಮೈದಾನ ತುಂಬಾ ಎಲ್ಲಾ ball ಹಿಂದೆ ಹೇಗೋಡ್ತಾನೋ..
