This blogger habit is nothing short of an addiction. But I am loving it. You get to know a little bit about people from all over the map.
Every post is a window into another person's thoughts and views. And normally, these views are never expressed in day-to-day interactions. They remain submerged for various reasons. But blogging has this power to bring these views to the surface.
And as we read them, we sometimes connect to these views. And sometimes we open ourselves to a different point of view.
Another thing I have realized is that there is so much potential in people who blog out here. I am lucky enough to have read some amazing pieces of prose and poetry. And they are my inspiration to become better.
But as we know, nothing is forever. And maybe some day, this addiction will leave me. But for now, I am enjoying my high :)

You wont believe this. I have been wanting to blog about the virtual world that we "addicts" live in.
Maybe I will.
Great minds think alike!!
Haha I was just thinking how trying to update my blog everyday is becoming an addiction.
Cosmic anything in excess is BADDDDD.
You have been warned :p
hey cool,
i am addicted :P....better addiction than anything else :)
there are hopeful, there are wrecked, there are creatives, there are nerds, spies, .....all kinds here...
happy blogging
@solitaire - you are correct, great minds/addicts do think alike :)
@deepali - I have only one thing to say to you .. sau choohey khakar billi haj ko chalee :)
@ceedy - thanks .. for sure this addiction is better than the others out there.
Yes. It is a small window into other people's world isn't it? If all the blog pals met in person i'm sure they'll run to their laptops to say 'hi' :)It is easier that way. It is this invisible wall that makes it easy to communicate, say things that we'd otherwise not say, express ourselves freely, the usual norms are broken, that's why we love it. All the ingredients for friendship is present without the demands. mmm... i connected to this post so much..
@preethi - Thanks. It definitely is easier to express ourselves freely out here. But at the same time, what you see on blogs is not the entire picture. You see a small part that the person has decided to share. It is easier to connect and communicate with this small part, as compared to the big picture.
well heres hoping u with us in blogsville in the long haul...
hope the enthusiasm never dies out...
enjoy and happy blogging!! :)
@pri - Thanks for the advice, doctor .. any prescriptions ?? :)
wow...i remember the time when you said..."not sure if i can keep up to it and be regular" now i guess you may be telling urself "not sure how i will tell my self to slow down"... :)
Connect with you totally on this.
However, I've noticed from my blog reading experiences that "Once a blogger, always a blogger". That blogger's who have had resignation posts etched out mostly do habitually come back. This whole virtual connection and having your thoughts read by anonymous others plus getting feedback is an addictive experience wherein the blogger and the commenters gain mutually in terms of improved writing, thinking, virtual socializing etc. Nice blog, BTW.
@pk - You are so correct. Is'nt it an irony ?? But thank you for keeping me honest :)
@romila - Thank you. I certainly do appreciate my familiar strangers out there reading and sending me their input.
ya but like it this way...nice to see u in action...
