Why do I blog?

This is essentially a repost (part of the exercise of porting my blogs over from wordpress) albeit not without modifications.

So why did I, start blogging?

• Everybody (friends, actors, politicians …) has one( a blog , silly!!), so why shouldn’t I?

• Of late I had nightmares of being a hermit in my past life . Actually, I remember one evening we were having a discussion on blogs and it became glaringly clear that I didn't own one: "So you don't own a blog! So gross! How can you keep your thoughts buried inside you? How can you not let others connect to your feelings in this connected world?" What would have you done when faced with charges against humanity?

• TO ATTAIN NIRVANA!! Its what you achieve through blogs (these articles give so much importance to blogs, they must be really getting onto my mind)

• I am scouring for "time pass" activities, and this is a part of the exercise. Got you! it's the same on your side (time pass!) isn't it? Now, if you had something important to do, why would you be reading this? 

• I didn’t get time before 17/3/2009, 9:30 am to write a blog. No, I am serious. I mean there are  other things to do in life!

• I felt I had not yet achieved enough in life to start writing a blog. ( It doesn’t mean that on 17/3/2009, I achieved something spectacular. Actually at 9:30 am, it suddenly occured to me that by not blogging, once again I will not be achieving nothing).

• This "blog" field in my on-line profiles was really becoming a pain in the ... neck.
