My blog.

I started this blog this new year. Orkut and my uncle who is a journalist and editor of a leading Malayalam daily, introduced me to this wonderful world of blogs. I came to know from my uncle that the journalists read blogs in great deal [must be for inspiration! :)]. Also, there are many mainstream journalists who write their own blogs. Some business organisations use blogs to communicate with their costomers. Blogs give you a chance to look at things in different points of view, especially when people comment on them expressing their views and opinions. Many frustrated writers, who got rejected by publishers also resort to blogging.

It gets uneasy for the writers and readers when bloggers write about their personal life, and certain aspects of their professional life. If you are not careful, you will be in trouble. It gets even more serious when people misuse blogs to defame others. A lot of people read them now a days. It is gaining popularity very rapidly. Most of the writings are brilliant, brave and free. Sometimes I feel upset with myself while reading a blog, for not thinking about that subject before the blogger did. Writing is not an easy job. It is a difficult thing to do. Talent makes it easier for few people and language makes it easier for few people. There are people who really haven't got both of these necessary qualifications, still they write ! (guess who??? :). I write about hospital, nurses and patients because this is probably the only subject I can write about , without putting a lot of strain on my poor little brain ! :)

Reading and writing blogs proved beneficial in many ways.


# The easy to use blog software provides an excellant chance to reach to a larger audience.
# People around you look at you as an intelligent brainy person who writes! (:D)
# You can get the message across indirectly to people whom you can't sometimes keep contact ;-)
# You can improve your vocabulary status (eg :mine. - it was worse than this before !! ), learn lot of new words. For example, "mundane, discombobulated, commemorating, voguish, depict, blaspheming, incongruity, Dissonance, etc. Now I need to learn how to use them, and where to use them. In fact, I am desperate to use few words I learnt recently, but not getting a proper chance !
# emotional venting with immediate positive result is another advantage.
Someone told me recently that when you are emotionally motivated, or psychologically aroused, you will write better. We all know that emotions are the most powerful force to move us to action. Mostly the action depends upon the type and degree of the emotion. Imagination will be limited when you try towrite something due to an emotional push. A positive attitude towards life will be the best thing to keep you motivated in the right way.

I am hoping to write better, without any emotional motivation.

Thank you very much !
