A year and still going…

Exactly a year ago I started my blog, after too much deliberation. Despite being a journalist, somehow, having a blog was a disconcerting idea.
What if I end up getting overboard with my deepest thoughts?However, with great courage I brushed aside that lurking fear to start working on a site.

First, I wrote a poem, an absurd train of thoughts rather, to set the blog rolling. I quickly followed it with a couple of posts on topics related to movies, books and music.

It is easy to write a blog; the tough part is getting people to take notice and react to it. Somewhere after a few posts I realised that blogging is a must for anyone who wants to shape their writing skills. Having a blog gives you a voice and an identity. In contrary to my fear of revealing too much to known and unknown people, my blog has given me the access to the darkest recesses of my mind.

But, I must admit that I haven’t made much of a mark in blogosphere. My biggest motivation has been a friend who writes some of the most compelling posts. He has 77 followers, while I have hardly half a dozen readers. Yet, having a blog, or two, has made me tap the writer in me. Maybe some day, I would reach the 70 followers mark, but till then I will continue. Thanks to all those who read my random musings and a few verses that I manage to come up with. And, double thanks to those who like, or leave comments for those posts. You inspire me to write more.
