One Year On....

Its unbelievable... Time is runnin very fast indeed... It seems like it was just last week that I started blogging but its almost six months since my last post!!!

It all started last May when I decided I would finally get to spend some quality time on blogger... One year hence and 35 posts after, I am most certainly not pleased with the amount of content I have published on this blog... Really dunno if it has anything to do with my switching of jobs, because my hiatus on Blogger coincides exactly with that!!!

When I started blogging, it seemed an all too easy task to come up with something readable atleast once a week... But 53 weeks hence realization has dawned upon me. It simply isnt easy... And being non-existent on blogdom for six months means I have missed out on many changes... I didnt know until this morning that Blogger mandates the use of a gMail Id to login!! Many of my fav blogs have moved away from blogger.. Some of them are onto their own Web Domains... While some others have simply vanished.. And so many new blogs have sprouted!!! And that definitely isnt good news... Now you need to dig deep into so much of junk to find some good piece of work...

And I have a feeling so many of these web logs have no purpose to exist. They simply don't. Now I don't care if somebody says the same to me!!!

Anyways, the first year on Blogger hasn't been upto the mark.. Maybe the second year would make up for that... So you can rest assured that there will be something good to read on this blog in the coming days.. In case, I am not able to do that, I will at least give some useful links which I come across.. If my readers can gain some value with every visit to this page, then that makes my day!!! and makes your visit here all the more worthwhile...

Now, I am not sure if you gained something from this visit to my blog!!!! But don't stop coming here... I haven't a degree in Marketing and so I'm not sure if I've convinced u enough to come back here, but never mind... If not here, then here. Or if u thought Tamil was your cup of tea, then here. If these two blogs are not to ur liking, don't complain... They are not mine... The owner of those two blogs is sitting next to me with a knife to my neck.. I ain't got any other option, do I??

@Bhuvanesh: Nandri Nanba, for ur feedback!!!

@Asif: Of the thousands of blogs I have come across, most revolve around the person or the group which publishes the blog. It makes for a good reading because everybody's life is a unique journey and sharing a piece of it with fellow bloggers is worth it.

But I cant find a reason to convince myself, when I jump onto blogs which do more of news reporting, which many of the 24*7 channels and their websites do much more professionally.

Even worse, some blogs are so badly written, you feel their High School English Teachers got paid for doing nothing!!

And when u realize that some of these blogs are penned by those hailed as the future Managers and backbone of India Inc., then you know there is something seriously wrong - either with the person or the system or with both, which I feel is the case.

hmmm... i agree that some people take liberties in trying to analyse everyday events & make a fool of themselves... but that doesnt mean that their blogs have no reason to exist...

some people try to 'develop opinions' by penning their thoughts on issues of natural interests... initially they suck but they gradually learn from the brickbats they recieve & become better... in such cases the reason for the existence of their blog 'can be' justified in the long run... but even otherwise a blog is someone's personal space which is 'open' to others & so i dont think others can pass judgement on why a blog shud exist etc....

anyway good to cu bloggin again :)
