About Blogging


The blogging bug caught me somewhere last year when I first logged into Orkut. My project partner Ashita is a budding journalist and very good at writing articles so both of us thought of starting to blog.

Also, I’ve always loved books and writing a lot. In fact when I was a kid, I’ve always considered books to be my buddies and have spent a lot of time reading books on different topics. (That is if you consider fairy tales, Archies, Tinkle, Hardy Boys, Nancy Drew, etc. etc. to be books on different topics.) Even now when I spy a book I always remember my faithful childhood cronies. I’ve also always wanted to keep a Diary. But writing a diary meant keeping it in a safe place away from the prying eyes of my bratty brother so I gave up on that idea a long time back.

Blogging is cool coz blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject such as food, politics, or local news; whereas some (like mine) function as a more personal
online diary. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, web pages, and other media related to its topic. Most blogs are primarily textual, although some focus on art (artlog), photographs (photoblog), sketchblog, videos (vlog), music (MP3 blog) and audio (podcasting).

The ability for the readers to leave comments in an interactive format is an important part of many blogs. Unfortunately for me when I log into my blogger, I’ve noticed only the number of views increasing and no comments at all. Except of course for the comments left by Jude who I bug incessantly to comment.

Blogging can have serious negative consequences also like releasing confidential information, legal liabilities, defamation, etc. But if one is careful not to get involved on blogging about political and influential parties and also not releasing proprietary or confidential information, especially about one’s job whilst blogging, I don’t think blogging would create any (read serious) problem.

As for me I’ve fallen in love with blogging and although I did promise to blog frequently in my second post, I’ve not really kept my promise. Now that a year has passed since I first created ‘My Space’ I am gonna try my level best and try to stick to my promise and blog more frequently..

Till then lemme say ‘Cheers’ and wish many more occasions for me to party with my bloggy… :)
