vishy's blog

Hi,
Vishy wrote this on his blog and it actually made me sit up and take notice...this is what i just mentioned to another blogger frnd the other day who had come down to our DILLI :D
it's amazing how most of us most of the time think alike ...or am i just being lazy and posting it on my blog jlt...whatever, this is what i feel as of now...so pls do read.......

and Sorry Vishy,Forgive this lazy bum

I was used to journalling earlier when I'd just scribble whatever crossed my mind and later on read it in leisure, but that was an anonymous pasttime. I did the same in my earlier posts, just scribbling what I felt like, but soon therewere a few people reading my banter and throwing in a comment or two. When the network sort of grew(or you can say, with the discovery of more blog friends), I guess, I became more cautious in what I scribbled here. Gone were the occasional cuss words or ranting about my depressed moods. I would think what others might think about my writing, or worse, about me, and would delete things or add something here, polish a passage there-- a kind of filter came in(and it's still there). When friends and others I really care about began visiting my blog and later would tell me a word or two about it, this filter grew real thick and strong.

I hate this filter. I feel, it inhibits my writing process. I had great dreams about becoming an accomplished writer, but I'm not kidding myself anymore. There are other priorities which stand way above my writing ambitions. For me, writing is now more of an outlet to my thoughts and emotions than a kind of sharing platform. Maybe that's the reason blogging of late is a laborious and strained activity, not joyful and spontaneos as it was in the beginning.Writing on this blog may gradually taper down and stop unless there's a compelling reason and motivation that gives meback...
