A way to start

My days of deliberation has finally materialized today, with this blog entry!
To do or not to do? Its been on top of my head for a long time and i have gradually yielded to it, keeping aside my initial strong reservations to it, keeping aside the fact that i have 1001 other things to do in my thesis......After my encounter with blogging i have always fancied myself writing things , my thought process churning up with so many things about which i would like to blog.

My rendezvous with the blog forum came only early this year. And looking back upon my relections to it was- how could i even post my personal musing on the web. It seemed to be as an unimaginable task that i would ever undertake...but here u see......caught in the swirls of the blogs....its not as a surrender of my opinions...but as a positive thought of my adaptation to the technology.

I had formed a special bond to the paper and pen over my early years of communications with my special friend who moved out from school. Ever since my inherent inclination to maintian a diary developed. Though some of my early jotting have unfortunately savaged by the sands of time due to my carelessness, though never much of an avid diary person, i still cherish and look upon it as my most prized possessions with really sporadic entries of my special precious memories of the past. Its has been my secret pal for many years, with which i share all my moments of joys and sorrows and concerns and frustrations. The transition from such a private cocoon to a public forum like blogs; is the reason why it is taking so much time for this materialization of my blog.

The pleasure of turning through the old pages when compared to scrolling down to my blog entries would remain unparalled i believe. A parallel analogy i would draw is my preference to turning through the pages of an old photo album rather than the pictures from a digital camera....its like a jog into the past....the pleasure being completely absent when i sit infront of my computer and switch on a slide show of My Pictures.

May be my inclination to cherish the old way of doing things is what keeping me to away from my blossoming attachment to blogs which i had developed reading through my friends blogs. It has actively become a nice time pass when i get bored to read through others blogs. I look upon blog as a peep into one's inner thoughts and dwellings which wouldnt come up over a day-to-day talk or a discussion. My reservations to having a blog are slowly melting away............

My only wishes are my sympathies for my diary which i hope i shall cherish the way i had. And seriously hope it doesnt meet the tragic death of my letter writing habit, which had its complete annihilation once i came to US, with 24/7 internet facility culminated with my laziness to walk down to post office.

Well small changes are bound to happen......as long as its for the good.....
3 cheers on this venture of blog journey, which i guess shall witness only intermittent entries due to my shortage of time for the time being!!
