Why Blog???

This was the question that was bugging me right from the inception of the very idea into my mind. Was my life not already into enough shreds with sites like Orkut...(not that I visit it too often, sone se fursat mile tab na!!!) that I needed to dig for better and fool-proof ways of ruining it.

Now this is what blogspot has to say about it:
A blog is a personal diary. A daily pulpit. A collaborative space. A political soapbox. A breaking-news outlet. A collection of links. Your own private thoughts. Memos to the world. Your blog is whatever you want it to be. There are millions of them, in all shapes and sizes, and there are no real rules.

Hmmm Sounds Interesting...
The age ol' idea of penning u'r thoughts with the help of brand new tools of "I-C-T" (in the accent of our Reverend ex-Director Mr. Kudchadker). The "Personal Diary" part was the one which attracted me initially but what-the-hell couldn't I have done the same in a more comfortable manner lying on my cozy bed with a diary and a pen in hand. On second thoughts might be it was the notion of exposing ones inner thoughts to the world that gave me the kick. The small world that ever bothers to read these 'mind scraps' or more aptly 'mind's crap'.

And finally when is it that I decide to take the plunge?... almost a year-an'-a-half later when my life couldn't have been(or rather has never been) in a greater peril of wreckage ever. Is it that that I have this "thing" for taking challanges-at-hand at the cost of my future(if at all there is any, that is to say) or am I just following my sheer instincts, the instinct which leads me hand-in-hand towards that edge which could have such a fatal fall that once taken, 'recovery' might no more be the word we'd be looking for. Guess such a fall doesn't ever exist in anyone's life, not atleast one that could be found all that effortlessly, but if one is hell-bent to ferret it out of the deep confines of ones existence theres not much that could be done to help him.

Now steering back to the topic at hand, the one that I had in mind, Of course not the title as you might have already realised I've steered quite a lot away from it, I wish to maintain this as a record of all the crazy thoughts that crosses my mind. The thoughts that creep up one's mind for no apparent reason, just like a flash, gone the next sane moment and the ones that haunt us throughout our lives. Sometimes just jotting them down could help you see through them and even if they don't, you would surely cherish tracking down your thoughts down the memory lanes of your life. As for maintaining a daily dairy, guess that should go into a different Blog altogether.
