What do I blog?

I am sure evryone that has ever blogged actually faces this question at some point or other. It likes the most basic yet probably the very root of existeniality of your blog; much akin to life. I mean how many of us really know what we are here for. Whats the purpose of my life? I have questioned myself, self-doubted and finally concluded >NOTHING.....

I am sure there are things like chance which we would never decipher. Anything at the extreme ends of happiness or sadness get linked up to fate and FATE being what it is is never explained. It can be a momentous decision (like electing to bowl in world cup final in 03) or catching the wrong train (11/07/06- bombay blasts).... The ones who survive say it ws good fate; the ones that didnt make it I am sure would have attributed the decision to bad fate, notwithstanding that this was probably the train they caught evryday.

Anyways, coming back to what I wanted to talk about, I had made it a point that I did blog atleast once a month no matter what.... June was the first time I defaulted.... Bad fate you see... But, no really, what do I blog about? The eternal dilemma finally caught up with me... Their were things too personal to blog about or too inconspicous.. add to it that I was starting at my new job and Summing it up, no time to write anything...

The few moments that I did open my blog page and wished to pen down a few lines; I was caught up with the "I have so many thots but I dont know how to put it on paper" syndrome. Thats when I realized; the brains thinks analyzes and deciphers meaning far too fast for the fingers to assimilate and type or write out. Its not a coincidence that writers prefer serenity to pen down their works...

Normalcy(orderliness of the world) begets poor writing....Writing is lyrical and fantasy laden... Its a platform for thoughts to peter out, splatter out, gush out or cause a deluge.... Blogging is a via media for non-writers (like me) to express thoughts that stay with my reality but cannot always be presented.

Advice to fellow readers and/or folks that dont blog cause it wouldnt be good- it isnt supposed to be... This aint a breeding ground for writing rather its a dumping facility for expressions.. So let it roll out.. let the world hear what you think...dont bother about the quality of prose or the concept.. There is randomness in thought and this is an Outlet......
