My first blunder

They say a journey of thousand miles begins with a single step. How true! And well… pretty obvious, isn’t it? So here I am writing my first blog, just putting my random thoughts into words. Read on…

After contemplating on it for a long time I finally decided to create my blog. I mean how hard could it really be? I had already survived orkut and facebook- the new version that is. I was ready for anything, ready to face the next er... dangerous mission…. I couldn’t be more wrong. Actually I could… but let’s not get into the literal meaning of things, it rather spoils the dramatic appeal!

It all started when a couple of my friends asked the address of my blog and when I said I didn’t have one, I was treated like a social outcast- as though stone age man was better connected than me, and probably had a better ‘surfing’ speed. Don’t get me wrong, I love my computer… it’s just the thought of writing new stuff time and again- that’s the issue; the stress being on new. I mean I already had the so called writer’s-block without even picking up my pen… or in this case powering up my PC. (Some people would call it a lack of ideas…. I wouldn’t!!)

Just to get the feel of it I visited quite a few blogs and I won’t say that I was not tempted to plagiarize a bit … but then I thought such blatant rip-offs were better left to bollywood- whose name incidentally proves my point! I tried out the help and FAQs section of a few websites and frankly I had more doubts than I started out with. ‘help?!?’ were they giving it or asking for it? I’m rooting for the latter! Every FAQ had another link which had to be cross-referenced with yet another link for the original link to make sense. It was as though the ‘help’ (the quotes are not a typo) section was specifically designed by people who got their kicks from befuddling and hopelessly confusing people. So finally I decided on blogger since I already had a gmail account which proved to be quite a blessing as I didn’t have to think of any more stupid usernames which would be available. Why can’t I use my own name? It has served me well up to now. Having the same name should be made illegal- for the other person that is!

Anyways, it seems I have written quite a lot without actually putting anything of real value. Is that what blogging is all about? In that case its pretty easy!

Please do leave your comments… I wont bite- probably! It is my first post so do forgive my… er.. lets call it ramblings for want of a better word . Stay tuned- more to follow!!
