To Blog or not to Blog

Being technologically rather challenged, I had earlier decided to stay away from blogging. But off late, I had begun to feel a peculiar restlessness which one might experience as a result of being drawn towards this phenomenon. And so, I spent days mulling over the prospect of blogging. I actually went through a laborious process of figuring this one out, which included thinking about the advantages and disadvantages, consulting a friend, who gave me some encouragement, and moving on to reading a few blogs. Stage one concluded in spending a significant amount of time perusing other people’s thoughts, their names and getting a general feel of blogs. I decided it was time to finalize a name for the blog that was due to be born. Unfortunately this was not an easy process especially because I generally lack the skill associated with mundane decision making. It entailed some careful thought, some sifting and consulting and then christening. I began to wonder if I was the only one or did people go through some kind of anxiety before creating something that would expose their life and worse yet, their writing. For I have realized that there is a higher level of empathy to other people’s experiences and life than for their (bad) writing. This thought led to another thought of whether the blog is for me or I am for the blog. No concrete realization came out of this questioning.
As it is quite apparent, the blog has won. I am for the blog.
