I'm a blogger at last!
A couple of years ago, after having read a few blogs, I was motivated enough to give it a try. I thought what I chose was easy. It caught on me like wild fire. I read at least ten other blogs a day and updated mine everyday. The day, which did not start with the blog, was a day of funerals for me!
It was easy at first. I wrote about myself, then about my family and then I professed my undying love for words in every possible way. I spent hours researching about suitable topics like pro-bloggers and most of the other times indulged in creative writing. I was convinced that my priceless poems would have outshone Byron's and Kalidasa's until, better poets in the blogosphere grabbed attention:) Gradually, when I was beginning to run out of fuel, I quoted from Shakespeare and sometimes lyrics of songs did the trick like this blogger. I also tried to share some intellectual stuff like other responsible bloggers. At times, I had to resort writing about the scenic beauty and the bounties of nature. The text wandered around interesting day to day musings, finally boiling down to mundane matters. When work got hectic and when I did not have the luxury of time to devote to creativity, I decided to take a break like many others.
Now that I am relatively free and have come back, I am going through the cycle of blogging all over again. I do not mind doing anything aforesaid to keep the blog going, except ending up like this blogger who fills his posts only with links to other blogs!:) Where did this post lead me?! Oh no!

Humility is knowing everything and making sure you dont look like you know it all:)
Also, take your foot off your mouth.
