My 25th "published" post.
(Have got one in drafts for long. But somehow haven't completed it yet.)
The Silver Jubilee Post.
Probably right time to take this set of questionnaire. Checked 'em at Pavan's blog here.
Thought this'd help me to identify what the blog means to me.
So here I go.
1. Are you happy / satisfied with your blog, with its content and look?
Lookwise, I'd say currently yes. Being a slightly moody person, I need constant changes. Hence I'll keep changing it frequently compared to others. I'd prefer to keep it sober though throughout.
Contentwise, Yes. Completely satisfied. The only intention was to write whatever I wanted to. I do it. So no issues. Just hope that I probably get to write more often.
2. Does your family know about your blog?
Yes. They do. My Mom reads quite often. Recently, I was most surprised when my Kaku told she was very emotional when she read the Diwali post, wherein I wrote almost the smallest detail of my Diwali.
So far I have no reason why I need to keep my thoughts away from them.
3. Do u feel embarrassed to let your friends know about your blog or do you just consider it as a private thing?
Same holds true for friends. I don't feel embarassed at all. Rather I ask them to keep coming.
I feel that if at all there is a need for me to write something which I do not wish to share with anyone I know, I know I can simply open up a new blog and start writing. Big Deal, huh!
4. Did blogs cause positive changes in your thoughts?
Don't know about positive changes and all.
But somehow I feel a lot better. With a job where you keep moving and close friends not accessible at times, I think a blog is a good medium to vent out any frustrations, share any good news or even simply gibber some crap.
I feel good after writing a post. I feel like a burden off my back. Relaxed, you know.
5. Do you only open the blogs of those who comment on your blog or you love to go and discover more by yourself?
As it is, not many comment here. People know about my blog 'coz I comment on their blogs. But then I feel those, however few, comments are an inherent part of my blog.
Anyways, So I feel the second question is more apt here. I do keep scanning around for some folks with whom my frequency wud match.
6. What does visitors counter mean to you? Do you care about putting it in your blog?
It does mean something to me. It is definitely not the thing. I would not do something special to get attention of the world. I do not wish to set the counter on fire. A visitor a day is also fine. But it does bring me a smile knowing that someone in the other corner of the world spent a few seconds here. Maybe it was an accident.
But then it still feels nice.
7. Did you try to imagine your fellow bloggers and give them real pictures?
I would imagine as to how they would be. We all do that. Not just for bloggers but for all the people that we have interacted with and but not seen. We do create an impression of how they'd be.
But for real pictures, I am not for it.
Unless I have formed a serious friendship with someone.
Unless the bond is that strong.
8. Do you think there is a real benefit for blogging?
There is! There, indeed, is!
It helps u get a lot of things of your system.
You can call it a junkyard or a safety locker of thoughts.
Either you use it share ur precious memories or trash ur unpleasant ones. Choice is urs..
In any case, it helps.
9. Do you think that bloggers society is isolated from real world or interacts with events?
I don't the blogger society is isolated from real world. Rather it is a part of real world. Most of the times we talk about things from the real world.
Blogger world is highly influenced from the real world and its events. At an individual level, it may not look so b'coz anything outside one's life may seem like a fantasy.
10. Does criticism annoy you or do you feel it’s a normal thing?
Noone has criticised me on anything. But it would not annoy me. I generally look at it as a point of view of another person.
11. Do you fear some political blogs and avoid them?
Political blogs are not my type. I'd generally skip them. Not because of fear, but more because of lack of interest.
12. Did you get “shocked” by the arrest of some bloggers?
Who was arrested? When? Why? Sorry, No Idea.
13. Did you think about what will happen to your blog after you die?
I find this question very amusing. Don't know if I'd blog till then or not.
If I do, I'll leave it out for the whole world. I bet they wouldn't want to miss out on some pearls of wisdom. :)
14. What do you like to hear? What’s the song you might like to put a link to in your blog?
Have already put one of them on my blog here.
Here'z another one that's topping my charts right below.
