Apart from this 'public' blog, I used to write a personal diary, not giving anybody any sort of access to its contents. I used to write basically my mind in my diary, all those things that I cant/dont like to share with anyone.
I started writing way back in 1995 or 1997(cant remember exactly when) for a couple of years. Then I stopped for a while and again resumed in 2003. (Actually I had stopped for 'quite a while'- 5 years is not a short break). Since then, I have been filling pages after pages of my 'mindwork' daily(just makes me appreciate my patience and my handwriting!!). I havent let anyone read(although my brother has tried to read a few lines). I havent found the time to read it either.
I have tried reading my previous year's diaries, but when I read, it only makes me feel that I have written in such a kiddish manner! So, I tried bringing some maturity into it.
People have told that its a good habit to write and I know it too. But its just that I have suddenly started feeling that I need to stop writing.
Reason: 'I' dont read, neither would I want anyone read, then why write? (The fact that it took so many years for me to realize this, comes to me as a surprise!)
It has been atleast a month since I wrote anything.
What say?

Hey I normally don’t read blogs and I was never interested to. But one of my Peers always says that u have many ideas and put them in a blog it will find its shape some day... I realize how imp it is and effect it is. Your blog on Writing have impressed me so much. It drives me to start giving a try. I feel this is one of the best and effective ways of self realization.
Having said that your blog turned out to be a eye opener for me. Let me start my own blog..I invite you to visit and post your thoughts.
