I started this blog inspired by friends ('Finely Chopped' my initiation) who are very active on the blogging scene...
Enjoyed reading their blogs ...left me with a feeling 'wish I could write like them'
I am not a writer, never have been...my mom has been writing...my dad writes
My friends write and nowadays almost everyone I know writes
But I don't write...rather can't write ...
Okay, maybe want to write, wish to write...
But what do I write about?...things you are passionate about
So many things and oft written about...
And why would anyone want to read what I write?
Maybe not...so what?
Nonetheless, I started by own blog...not for others but for myself
For the safekeeping of memories... of those good times I want to hold on to
Something I would treasure reading, when my memory fades...
Most posts* are about my current, and ever lasting obsession...true to my 'bong mom of a son' genes!
interspersed with my own childhood memories...
and maybe other things
-travel...need your help Shubh (book the next holiday stat!)
-cooking...food...your help again Shubh
-and ...
*(Started out the old fashioned way of documenting... got a baby book ... daily updates, gave way to weekly, monthly...reduced to post it to remember dates...and now nothing at all
and yes, you don't get good ones here ...So got one from overseas...thanks a ton Pun...)
As someone who has blogged for a couple of years my belief is that blogging is entirely for oneself. It is a place for self expression, catharsis. Write for yourself and not for others. The day you stop, you will stop enjoying it...and PUFF will go away
