as i was surfing the internet for some desired information, i realised that every keyword typed into google leads to atleast one blogging site in the search results. it just proves that the new mania in internet land is the blogging mania. ofcourse, this is a great development which allows people to connect better and faster. but that also means, that every human being is a writer. where does that leave the likes of me? no, i am not complaining!
with all these actors, directors and other pseudo intellectual individuals blogging, it puts us, lesser known but equally talented people at the backdrop of events. therefore, it is only sensible that i tell myself that i can seriously consider blogging only after i am safely famous. that realised it puts a whole new perspective onto my list of goals.
as many of us complain, no one reads our blogs. but, why should the reader who wants to unwind after a long day, read our blog? what sets us apart? wouldn't he rather type out his favourite celebrity's name and read the blog that pops up? it gives him more insight into the life of an individual he admires and it also allows him to step out of his own shoes and live a different life for a while. movie watchers watch mindless romantic sagas with very much the same aim, to travel in a bubble of imagination that is different from his everyday mundane routine. what do we, infamous bloggers offer the reader? our take on life, movies, attitudes, nature et al? who cares? does you spouse, partner or sibling care? yes, mommy dearest cares, but only because she has no other business. i am not sure what fathers care about as yet.
what value do we bring into this world? what do we know that the rest of the world does not already know?
if there is a reader, he is wondering, why on earth am i reading a blog filled with questions? which is yet another question. i don't know, which is why i am writing this.
honestly, i would rather go and read farhan akthar's blog. and i am sure i am not the only one who would pick a celebrity over a faceless comrade. everyone likes pretty faces. so do i.
so, i guess, until i am a known and well loved face, i shouldn't really expect anyone to walk through these pages. and if somebody stumbles here because of a bad internet server, well, he knows that i support his want to not read this.
Good day and happy living!
