Blog - a four letter word

As I slowly gain more knowledge and exposure to blogging, my experiences and instincts tell me that blogs are just like anything else in life. It has its uses and abuses, upsides and flipsides. I only hope it is not cyclical like life or else the quality of my blog is going to nosedive soon and I cant do a thing about it. I read some blogs today and found them interestingly candid and beautiful.

As far as my blog goes, it’s an extension of my personality. Thus its verbose but does not let out a thing about my inner world. I am so guarded about my likes, my dislikes, my hopes, my dreams and desires that it is highly unlikely that I express them on such a public platform. Yes, I am a self confessed voyeurist but that remains at visual level and about getting eye candy rather than being one.

I haven’t yet figured my equation with attention. Although, like everybody else I like attention, most of the times I would rather be inconspicuous. I like to play it safe by revealing my inner thoughts only to a privileged circle of friends like any other scorpion. I must admit that I have a strange attraction to public domains like blogs where one can command attention but I shy away from putting up a great show.

Now that I accept it and acknowledge it, my task remains easier to apply the same knowledge. I have never been scared of trial and errors and thus I have had 6 job changes in last 8 years and at the age of 25 I preach like a priest, look like I am 18 and dance like no ones watching. A few nuggets or feathers in my caps that help me are my spiritual streak, movies and music.

Now that I have began opening up and warming up to this blog, I hope this online affair survives through thick and thin. Also that unlike real love that people curse after its out of their life, I don’t want to end up saying that Blog is just a four letter word
