The world of blogging

I had not gathered that little extra push all these days, months and years to do what has been going on for aeons (as per the current day measures!) - the world of web logging. Surprising for two reasons at least - firstly being in the thick of the IT industry for a score of years, the temptation should have arisen long back and got fulfilled and secondly having thoughts and observations sharing as an innate trait, blogging is a very natural channel that should have been explored and tapped much earlier!

It was a few days back that I tried my hands at tweeting. The length of a tweet reminded me of the archaic telegrams. Micro blogging is a pretty handy tool for quite a few things such as expressing oneself spontaneously, sharing links, gathering feedback or TIM - Thoughts in Motion (coined a la RIM) etc. It is akin to the Sutras or Aphorisms of the Hindu Wisdom - brevity to the core and focused. What I soon realized was that while tweeting is a very good option for expressiveness, it cannot be the only one. More often than not, we have a need to construct a plot with all the elaborations possible and permissible, to drive home a point. That directly led me here - to the World of blogging.
