A very apt question was asked the other day.. "Why do you write a blog?"
1. Hardly anyone will read it
2. Extremely public forum to share your personal views
3. Why is it better than writing in the age old way of a diary
I do feel that it helps me de-clutter my mind and keeps me in touch with what I am thinking. However one reason for preference of a blog to a diary is the sense of complacence which a persona journal like a diary builds in leading to sloppiness and unedited thoughts. A blog like this challenges you to write about the most personal thoughts in a way that they are tasteful and edited.
But one thing which it definitely makes me dream is that one day when I have a story to tell I will not be so rusty with a pen that I do not have courage to write it.
However, the only reason why I started writing a blog was this desire to move away from searching the meaning of my existence in the corporate role around which my life used to centre. I do believe this is a form of art and I enjoy it.:)
