The Awkward "are you happy?" Question

Two days ago, it was quite an usual morning when my favorite movie-mate and I were watching this really interesting movie called, Hec...

PASTIME = BLOGGING =? Does it 'equate' to FUN?



Let me guess. Did your school/college/university kick off its winter holidays? Or are you just done with some grueling certificate examination and now on a lazy countdown to the Result Day? Whichever it is, I have an ‘unmistakable intuition’ that your Mom/Dad has already promised you a ‘world of impossibilities’ (read: recreation) prior to the vacation. Wasn’t it along the line: “If can manage all A*s, I’ll definitely take you to shopping in Paris.”? Or how about what a parent of a friend of mine said, “Had you managed a B in Math I’d have gifted you a BMW!”?


Weren’t you dreaming to be an ‘enviably ecstatic’ holidayer when your Dad suddenly cancels the coveted trip to Mauritius? Heart-wrenching, I know! So have you got a plan to ‘survive’ the impending days & nights of your ‘ruined’ vacation? Yeah, you can always socialize on Facebook, play stereotype online games e.g. Farmville or even be a proud ‘couch potato’, in loving memory of your ‘unearthly’ soap opera. But don’t you do those everyday, be it weekday or weekend? Be honest!


If you are ‘unofficially grounded’ this winter, and are dying for your laments & naive curses to be heard, I’ve got something in mind for you. Have you always taken an inscrutable fancy to writing? Yet Rising Stars never recognized your innate ability? It’s TIME you stop laying your ‘creativity’ at the mercy of such arrogant publishers. The Blogosphere (collective community of all blogs) welcomes you with ample space for you own virtual world!


Your blog is your personal journal published on the World Wide Web, where posts appear in reverse chronological order. What differentiates it from a personal website is the fact you don’t have to overload your memory memorizing HTML and FTP codes! Be a non-technical user or not. The countless ‘web log’ (or blog) hosting sites allow you ‘unleashed authority’ when designing your own blog Cool, isn’t it!


Microblogging? Vlogging(video blogging)? Or mp3blog? Just make a wish & you’ll find an array of diverse categories of blog hosting sites at your service. Would you believe blog hosting services e.g. Wordpress, Blogspot, LiveJournal, DiaryLand, WeBlogger etc are ‘evolving’ everyday just to give bloggers worldwide a ‘fun-filled, satiating & soulful’ blogging experience? Don’t forget your blog is a journal and social profile at the same time! With funky social plug-ins e.g. Like button, Comment box, Pageview count, etc – what else do you need to show off your mind-boggling epic on Justin Bieber? Science teaser? Fashion article? Or erotic gay stories? It’s always your call; no discretion advised. Exploit it to the fullest!


Writing on your favorite topics & sharing them with your fans /friends via a mere click on the upload button can give you immense pleasure. Simultaneously, it helps you to hone your skills as a writer. If you ask me, I think ‘online blogs’ are a lucrative opportunity for amateur writers to promote their views worldwide, simply typing away thoughts & ideas from a cozy home corner! According to Perseus’ The Blogging Iceberg statistics:

Teenagers have created the majority of blogs. Blogs are currently the province of the young, with 92.4% of blogs created by people under the age of 30. Half of bloggers are between the ages of 13 and 19. Following this age group, 39.6% of bloggers are between the ages of 20 and 29.

The essence of blogging is to create your private world – one that’s a virtual reflection of your taste, thoughts and personality. As a leisure activity, I think this is a perfect package comprising entertainment, excitement & a great deal of learning!

Seeing my blog receive 836 page views within only two months of blogging is an unquestionably great inspiration for me! So while I bask in the euphoria of creating architecture of words, why not you try blogging as well? Be a TRUE BLOGGER: publish whatever & whenever you want AT YOU OWN STAKE! Absolutely FREE OF COST and NO DEADLINES!

Happy blogging!
