Almost everyone I know blogs... they have been blogging since quite a while now. And I have been a blurker from as long as I can remember! So what is it about blogs? I mean... as far as I know, most of these people had never been in the habit of writing diaries... and in any case, aren't diaries meant to be personal? So what's with blogging on the net, where millions of people can read about your innermost thoughts on just about everything on the planet... and beyond, and even leave comments about it? I think and think... and have no answer! The damn bug has actually caught even ME!!
Reading blogs... yes... I have always been a reader, lapping up anything and everything that comes my way. Blurking... yes... coz I have never written anything in my life, except for a study tour report in college, and that too only because my lecturer threatened to show his capabilities in my internal marks sheet!! (Come to think of it... I had actually won a "Creative Writing" competition in college... something about "A strand of hair" or the likes... he he he...) Anyways, coming back to blurking... I don't think I have ever left a comment on any of the blogs I read, which are quite a lot by the way! People write what they like and who am I to comment on their opinions anyway?... is my thinking! But hey, guess what... looks like I'm growing up... ' I ' am blogging!!! In spite of some big-time obstacles like... what do I call it, and what do I call myself, and what if someone I know reads it and finds out it's me, and so on.... oh, and the great Blogger.com vetoing every single witty (supposedly) blog name I came up with, saying it's already taken! Bah... and most of them have stopped blogging years ago!
So yes, Hello blogdom... here I am... I will ramble all I like and as often as I can... and yes people, if you care enough to comment on my blogs, go right ahead! I'm just glad u dropped by! And if you know who I am, aw man, just don't ever tell me you found out!!!

heyyy pu..u too joined the blogging mums huh??!
Hi, there.
Saw your comment at Boo's and visited your blog, and have read your posts.
I asked myself similar questions before starting off - blogging that is - and I still wonder - why blog indeed?
Well, it's fun, it's addictive, you *do* make like-minded friends, and you can nearly always find exactly ONE person who identifies with something you have written because he or she has been through it before.
Enjoy your new baby - they grow up way too fast.
Cheers!
