Before I Blog


I’m really wondering what my next blog should be about. May be some general issue or some personal stuff but there isn’t anything really impactful happened to me off late. Nor do I want to make a statement to or convey something to someone. I have been there and written it all. It’s the time now when I’m getting exhausted of ideas. I knew this would be happening to me one day and I would be left with nothing to blog about. It is now that I feel that my caliber as a writer would be really tested.
I always wondered how great writers keep up with writing a column every week, may be they convince themselves to write something just because they are getting paid and have to write something for the column. Or may be ideas just come in like work happens when under pressure or they’re just pure genius.I have no such pressure of putting up a blog every week so I enjoy the time liberty. I write a blog only I fully am able to construct something that comes out of my soul. Despite the fact, to avoid my blogging habit getting deserted, I make sure I blog at least once a month. Too much of time I know, I’m behaving like this great film-maker I saw who said I just do very less though quality work. I think I don’t compromise on my blogs as well; I love my blogs because I speak from my heart & those are non-manipulated, truths bared all in whatever subject blogged.
Since I’ve been waiting for the last 16 hours in an almost deserted college corridors for work to begin, I just thought why not put some blog up. But I have no issues to raise today and am not descriptive enough to narrate the agony of my wait here. Yes, I also feel that writers are expert at metaphors, I’m still learning.
There are buzzilion things on my mind right now like the Pune blasts, Sachin’s Bharat Ratna controversy, naxalites, my future, girlfriend story, love agonies and blah blah. Deciding one thing is difficult. I’m the kind of a person who believes every blog should give out a message or raise a question. I’m not confident of going into the insights of any of these topics would serve the general agendas of my blogs. And when I write this, I feel it’s all because of twitter – the micro-blogging site.All the topics I mentioned above have been touched upon by me on twitter. So I’ve expressed my takes on all of them and I’m finding it difficult to convince my mind that there’s more to the feelings than 140 words. I should stop tweeting…no, now I’m confused about that as well.
It’s really not easy being a blogger, thought it must be fun receiving comments, (dis)likes of people when you write something. I’ve overgrown that reaction, I blog to somehow creep in the message of being happy in life. I won’t write until something strikes me. Even after all this combating with my mind so that I could write something, I couldn’t come up anything that would give out a message or raise a question. ‘Before I blog’, there’s too much of soulful thinking and brain storming. But once the pen starts it just has to start working and I realized, not all things need a moral. I can be descriptive sometimes. So until I come up with something next, tweet tweet guys!
