So after all these years of trying and many moments-of-almost-did-it, I am finally starting to write a blog. For those who wonder whether writing a blog is such a difficult process, I will confess that this has been in my mind for over years, right from the start I heard about the phenomenon "blogs". Hell, I even registered on blogger.com years before and had written some blogs but they were not worth reading, not even for me. And I quit then.
I admit it. I was too lazy. To figure out the ways of blogging and connect with people. I enjoyed reading them however. English and Malayalam. I saw blogs becoming so successful that they eventually moved from blogspot to own domains. There was also a kind of selfishness or what-do-you-call-it..that feeling that you were opening up to a stranger and you were not sure you wanted to. I distinctly remember a quote,(in fact a tweet) by Paulo Coelho that "Writing is a socially acceptable form of being naked in public". May be I was too shy or insecure, or may be I didn't have any reason for casting my clothes off.
But now that I have finally grown up (according to reliable sources), and has since acquired a broad minded and appreciative view about throwing one's clothes away (wink), I think I am ready. Also, I live in that phase of my life where I feel a righteous indignation towards the omnipresent social evils and feel like speaking out loud to my fellow men. However, I can't continue shouting (ask my neighbours...on second thought, No don't!) and venting my frustration as I used to. Ah! the good old days!
Finally like that good old cartoon ( see here Warning: It's a bit geeky! ) where the boy, sitting next to a girl in the bus stop, trying to calculate when would be the optimum moment to strike a conversation with her, finally realises, I too realise that the best time to begin my blog is well past me. But then again, as they say, better late than never, right?
