SWAGATHAM,

I’ve always loved the phrase “hello world”. I’d have started my first post with “hello world” had a certain movie not spoiled my plans. Using it would lead to an assumption that I’ve watched the movie, was impressed by it and that I deify the protagonist and his antics.Although some of these might be true, I still don’t want to be branded in the first post.

Blogging is something I should have started sometime back. Not that I’ve stories overflowing in my head ,nor do I live a life abounding with interesting experiences waiting to be written about. My technical know how is nothing much to talk about and If I start writing political satires/stories god help the readers do you have that many??You just used a plural there. The only reason behind this being the sheer joys of writing (typing).I sincerely wish that this is the first of many more to come.

There was a deep discussion between my split personalities,(when it happen its not like what they show in raavan,I can vouch for that) we came to a consensus ,an amicable settlement, nothing amicable about it, u suck at writing, get a life dude, you are just riding on your  bloated pride, do u have any pride?? Blog? what blog?? Thu naye!    STOP!!  Sorry for the intrusion, we did reach an amicable decision, and that was to create one and think of the next step later hmph I didn’t agree! Alright, so, keeping with the spirit of this blog, I’ve no idea as of now, as to where this post is headed.  I’ve no idea either, but I’m not letting him do this alone.

First impressions are important. I stand by it. “Appearances can be deceptive” was coined by con book writers strictly for their stories.  But unlike some people I lack the flamboyance and hence settle for a second or a third impression to sail me through. My thought process, being a bundle of contradictions most of the time; i  would like to add a disclaimer: what is written in the first line may be contradicted in the second line or third line or may be affirmed in the fourth.

There are different ways to go about this blogging thing:

Write about something devoid of any meaning laced with so many words that send a fellow preparing for gre looking up dictionaries only to find them absent or totally used in the wrong context or grammar.

Write about mundane day today stuff like polishing your shoes and how tying your laces impeccably, gives you immense satisfaction of achieving something. Or better still. Log on, grumble about how bored u are, and how jobless you are to start blogging  in the first place and how you are on the verge of sleeping /yawning diminishing the already receding cogency.

Then there is the blog of knowledge .Write about things you are passionate about with precise content, semantics and opinions dished out for a reader to enjoy and understand, these are generally the kind that gets into serious discussions in the comments area.

Finally, the one I enjoy reading the most, written in easy language, witty, looking at the lighter side of life.

All these require various levels of exertion on the writer’s part, I, for one want to reach the ideal balance, no work on my part and good following. How??

One overwhelming piece of art(writing). A flash in the pan.Or, a series of flashes in the pan. Maybe I can create a market for mediocrity and sell myself as its king. Campaigns like Finesse is out of fad, settle for suckers, etc.For publicity, Sun pictures should do i guess. They just don't give a damn about content as long as the price is right. Please read your blog first.

 Before I start claiming sleepiness, hunger and headache for the babbling I make myself clear. The reason for stopping is not that I’m appalled at my writing. My writing as they say is legendary they?? Who?? It is just that my words have run out of thoughts I know, verbal diarrhoea and they’ve become a jumble of words TACKED together. There I’ve done it, included the name of the blog in the post.  Inspired by a certain kumanan eh??.

Cheers!
