"What do you want?"

...said my blog. "After all these months, why have you returned? I've managed without you so far, I dont need you now!!! The people at blogger.com were kind enough not to suspend my account."

My blog was cold, it was distant. I should have seen the signs when I couldnt log on, and had to re-type my password a few times. It was hurt, it was in pain. It remained online, with no new posts while other blogs got regular attention and updates. It didnt ask for much, never did. A few minutes once in a while, thats all. The amount of time that I needlessly spend on facebook, I could have diverted and wrote a new post...

I wondered, was my real life a reason important enough to neglect my virtual life?

I should have been a better blogger....


Should I promise to return? To be considerate, to be a better blogger? Those would just be words to it..just like the ones that gave it birth, and a promise of nurturing...

I didnt know..I sat there empty, staring at the screen...maybe in due time, it would learn to forgive me. All I can do is hope....

Online

So I finally decided to start up a blog! Before anybody jumps into any conclusions or wisecracks, allow me to make this clear..I'm not under any illusive perceptions that I'm a great writer or a literary genius. The last thing I wrote was my MA proposal for college and God know how much effort that was!! I feel I've been hiding under a rock (couldn't find a better phrase) and needed a little world showcase. Few weeks back, while surfing the internet, I came across a blog of a real talented artist. I got in touch with her and she helped me out bigtime. This whole incident started a chain of thought, which lead to the conclusion that having a blog is a very good way to present my work. Plus I can add the occasional gibberish that sometimes clusters up in the back of my mind…

Well this is another start…I just hope I can keep this one alive and running!!

Best wishes,
Sree
