Tag 4: Reasons Why I blog…

1. The first and foremost reason why I blog is to express my feelings. Earlier I was never comfortable talking to strangers though considered a chatter box among people who are close to me. Of course, things have changed now. My profession has taught me so many things and has changed me in a lot of ways. But when I started my blog it was mainly to convey my emotions…and that’s why I had named my first blog “Silent Conversations”.

2. I’m always fond of diaries. I keep writing diaries and yes…I keep changing them too…I have never completed even one diary but have a lot of diaries now. I consider a diary my friend…one of those special and rare friends with whom we need not have any pretensions. And blogs always looked like e-diaries to me. And that’s what attracted me to blogs.

3. Hmmm….this is always there…it’s a nice feeling always to own a personal space in the world of web. I have always wanted to own a personal site but had a doubt whether I will have time to maintain one. And this blog was a great gift for me to prepare myself to dedicate time to my own site!!

4. The next reason is to hear feedback!! Earlier college magazines and Internet poetry sites helped me in publishing my poems. I had a good feedback and really felt good when my inbox started receiving appreciation mails. I felt good and wanted to have it all in one place and that’s also one of the reasons for starting a blog.

5. Finally, it’s a way of relaxing myself. I feel relaxed and content after I post. Its one of those times I spend for myself.

Tag 3: 7 Things I can’t do…

1. I can’t stay away from my family!! That’s the top most in the list. I understood it better when I stayed in Pune and Bangalore. I was longing to get back home!! Thank God I have got transfer to Chennai now!!

2. The next thing I can’t do is to tolerate selfish or sarcastic people. I tend to go as far as possible from these kinda people. Sarcasm turns me off and spoils my mood.

3. Another thing I can’t do is to forget things that hurt me. There are few things which I would love to forget but they keep popping up sometimes. It puts me off for days together. But those are the things which have taught me few good lessons. And I’m glad I learnt those lessons….more earlier the better.

4. I can’t say NO to anyone. This is seriously a problem. I end up hurting myself in trying to not hurt others. I even tried the book ‘How to say NO’. But its of no use :-(

5. I can't avoid chocolates and ice creams!!! That may sound funny but a lot of times I have tried avoiding them and am yet to succeed!!

6. Another thing I can’t do is to keep my expectations low. I always expect a lot. This was ok and I never had any problem so far coz everyone till now has been up to my expectations. But I can’t carry on like his and should try not to expect a lot.

7. One final thing I can’t do is to be independent. I always need my family and friends to be with me.
