Is it brag or blog? Anyway ... even then why do we blog at all? is it because everyone has it and I have mine too? the sensless flocking sheeps? or is it because its free? may be! but whatever it is, would we have done this if we were to pay for it? may be this query extends to many of the "free stuffs" that we are now accustomed to, including the email and stuff. an era of free meals!!! Anyway.
Why do I blog? may be I need to know!!
Once upon a time, I used to enjoy talking and writing to people. This does not mean that I do not enjoy those anymore, but the intensity and the feeling is definitely diluted. There is a sense of meaninglessness in the conversations that we have, or may be in everything that we do. Everyone and everything seem focused on and motivated by one thing - money, and nothing else, expressed in varied forms as job, security, networking, MBA, education. We are no more motivated by values and knowledge. How opportunitisitc and materialistic have we become, I wonder many a times.
But, this does not answer why I started blogging.
Blogging provides me an opportunity to express myself, in an unsensored way, when I do not have to argue meaninglessly on what is right and what is wrong. May be this is an attempt to search the person within me, the passion inside me, and explore what appeals to me. I could just dump what I feel while I write what I write. Sense and non-sense make no sense, I am not being evaluated while I express myself. I can brainstorm from within and I do not have to take a stand and justify what I say until I have said what I have to say. The ability to dump thoughts and express self without evaluation has a lot to do with our creative abilities, and blog provides that platform to hone ideas endlessly and seamlessly.
I have nothing to achieve through this media, but still a lot gets achieved. I have nothing to gain from doing this, but end up gaining those guiltless insights that I seek. I have nothing to lose, but there is so much that get expressed, which reduces the burden of thoughts that my mind has to deal with.
On the fun side, as the caption says: this is simply harate prapancha.
