Yeh, I've written a blog before. It didn't quite work out. Umm, I think I jinxed it right from the start, named it Writer's Block. That was meant to be tongue-in-cheek, of course, but as it turned out, the joke was on me. I wrote nothing in it after the first couple of posts. Had the worst writer's block of my life.
But that wasn't my first blog. There was one some six or seven years ago, with a name I can't even properly remember. I think that was a time when there was a kind of blog craze all around. Obviously, it didn't last for me.
That's me. Too lazy for my own good. Hyperactive on some occasions. Like now. When I'm all jumpy about writing lots of blog posts and getting it all together. Sharing, debating, looking out for others who might agree to disagree. A little notebook that I can scroll down when I want to rewind my life a bit. But let's see how long it lasts. I would wait and watch.
Why did decide to blog again? The real reason I got down to opening this one (and moving from wordpress to blogspot) was because I often find myself writing a blog in my head. On the way home, as I drive over some of Delhi's nicer flyovers and stare into the smoggy distance (I'm not the one driving, so it's okay to stare outside the window). Or waiting somewhere, for someone. Sometimes even when I'm half awake. Sort of makes sense then to actually get down to writing?
But I'll have to admit, sometimes I feel like not writing. Or reading. I mean, I do it day in and day out. It's my profession, I write (in a magazine) for a living. So I'm not too hard on myself when I think, I should blog, I have all these thing going on in my head and so, I should really put them down. Might be fun. And then it just so happens that I'm at a loss for words. And while I recover from that momentary loss of sentence-formation I'm not sure what I have to say has any significance. Does it? Will it? Really, I gotta wait and watch.
I mean, who writes a blog post about the complexities of blogging? :)
