I never liked writing diaries. Writing stuff with a pen is so damn difficult and you can’t write at the speed of your thoughts. So, writing has always been boring for me. I feel so much comfortable on the qwerty, I love ‘writing’ with my laptop. Also, I always thought that someone could steal my diary or I could lose it. Not that anyone could do millions from it but it’s just that no one wants their diaries to be read by others while people always love to get their hands on others’ diaries.

Because a written diary is so bloody personal, it wasn’t even fun. Moreover, as a kid, I’ve seen in many movies that a diary in the wrong hands would be the plot-twisting thing to happen. I was always scared of losing that diary that I never wrote. Also, I thought that you needed interesting stuff to write in there. In a very routine life, I thought interesting things happened only once in a while and the idea of updating the diary as and when something interesting happened, did not sound interesting to me.

The idea of a blog thrilled me to no end. A blog is generally defined as an online diary. But one should be either insane or naive to think a blog replaces the good old diary that we know. Blogs thrive with comments and discussions. So the thing about stuff being personal, secretive or sacred has gone out of the window. The expectation here is that someone reads and appreciates.

Why did I start this blog? One is, just to ‘write’. I love writing, as in expressing my views and opinions. So I love talking too. I think blogging improves your writing. Anything that you do over and over again, you tend to get better at it, by sheer law of averages or by natural trial and error. I don’t think writing can be an exception here for a person who refuses to think his writing can get worse with more writing. The other reason is, just to share my thoughts and experiences while I get some fans along the line. Let’s admit it. In blogosphere, you write because there are people to read it.

Hoping to write more.
