Define:Blogs

wonder what blogs are ? and what makes them so popular? isn't it rational to assume that why would a rational person want to know about the life of a not so rational person?? i have heard blogs make interesting reading. But I wonder if this interest transcends cultural, national and societal boundaries. This plain simple means that a blog-reader would be only interested in the blogs of people who are roughly like him.

But there is one interesting utility of blogs that one can think of. It helps you learn from others mistakes, but again I wonder how many people actually post blogs about what did they wrong?? that's dated, all of us gen-x youths will say. Or else, may be it helps give vents to one's thoughts with the "fluid" directed twowards no particular audience, one does not have to , like in a public speech or address , try very hard to hold on to the audience's attention as the audience who "take seats" in the virtual auditorium are by default interested.

I guess a lot many people use blogs to show their authority of literature and impress the opposite ( or same, for the elite few) sex. Some do it just because they have established blog-friendships that starts kind of a healthy competition between rival bloggers. There could be more weird reasons to write blogs, as I am writing this one just because someone told me that if i write one, I will get the much sought after invitation to exclusive gmail membership. Picking up from a radio mirchi ad, KV, you are telling the truth na :)

so that was my first little blog! I hope it makes interesting reading for some netizens. And sometimes in my dreams , I hope to become a writer. May the first seeds be sown proper... ahem!!!
