Arbitrary Notions

I t has been a year today. Not for my joining date at work, that’s in another two days. Not for this blog, god that was in March, please follow on facebook for regular updates. No, it has been a year since I left home to earn on my own and ‘become independent’.

I don’t think so. To be fair, I have not got dedicated readers for this blog as of yet so asking this question itself is stupid. I think this question is more from the ‘love-writing’ me to the ‘too-busy-to-write’ me instead of you my dear reader. So why am I telling you about the debate going inside me? Good question.

I t was back in 11th standard that I first came to know about blogging. The idea appealed to me as at that time I wanted to show my writing to the world. I thought I really am writing well ( this thought was helped by my teacher praising me for one of my stories written in exam ). I did not understand anything about it. I wrote a story, published it on blogger and waited. I waited and waited for a very long time, logging in to check how many page views I had. It was disappointing ( Very, very disappointing ).

Q utopia. This one word is the reason I have kept coming back to college ( This and semester exams ). When I joined the college, we were given a small book which described about the various societies and the extracurricular activities that took place here. Going through it I was interested in one or two of the societies neither of which were Qutopia. Reason, I had never done any kind of quizzing activity ever in school or for that matter anywhere else. Since we weren’t allowed to join any activity in the first year I did not even try to join any society. (I was a law abiding, afraid of breaking the rules kind of guy )

I know it’s a little late but it’s never too late to pay your respects. To the legend, Mr.Khushwant Singh. May your soul rest in peace. L ooks like my plan to write one post per week is not going to happen. I was inactive for a little while before my last entry but I wasn’t sitting ideal. I was going through some of the personal blogs ( like this one ) and found that many of them contained a post talking about why they started writing. So, I thought I should do it too ( In simpler words, I could not think of a better topic to write on in the past couple of weeks).
