finally here

Hello to every one who reads this..... errr if at all any one reads this..... at last found time to create my own blog spot.. always wanted to but some how never did it... well here it goes...

Now what are blogs for??
A blog (a portmanteau of web log) is a website where entries are commonly displayed in reverse chronological order. "Blog" can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.

at least thats what wikipedia says. So its just a website which maintains things in reverse. hmmm big deal... so why does every one so hung up with this??

May be its because ppl are tech savvy nowadays and they like to maintain a diary on web... but aren't diaries meant to be kept under the pillows. Aren't they supposed to be stolen by pesty siblings or suspicious moms... Then lets rule out the fact that a blog is a journal..

So may be ppl want others to know about them... so they post.... but if they want others to know then they are bound to be 100% fake about themselves..

Anyways to come to a conclusion, according to me a blog is a place in the virtual world that ppl use to advertise themselves and make others feel that a lot has been happening in their lives when the truth is far far away from it...

So now you may ask me.. If blogs are soo fake then why do i blog??
hmmm simple.. As every one else i want ppl also to have a perception of me which i really am not...


call me blunt but thats what i feel....

hmm now why do ppl read blogs??
Its soo human to be interested in other's lives. It fascinates us. We all think our lives are boring soo we login to see how other's are doing.. We envy those who have posted about their gr8 trips to Europe, their conquests in Africa only unaware of the fact that a lot of that is crap( apologies to those offended). I am not saying that every ones life is boring but if its soo exiting then they don't need a blog to show it...

So to all those who pretend that their lives are better than other's but secretly hate their lives (including me...)... cheers... and lets keep blogging... after all this is a VIRTUAL WORLD....

Bye for now... catch ya later...
