A Blog & An Obligation
Published by Aakarsh under Personal Notes on Wednesday, November 02, 2005
something is missing in life. I havent been writing anything since aeons, and the itch has already started. also, with more time available to listen to music, i have come up with a good reason which can keep my writing-bug..on its toes. Today i kick-started the Fantastic combinations series on my "musicmavericks" blog. Currently, i am re-tracing the career graph of the "maniratnam-ilaiyaraaja" combination, which has given some fantastic music in the 80s and early 90s. Ravi is my partner-in-chime. i hope we can put up something worth, in the days ahead.
meanwhile, the creative department(or compartment) of my mind seems to be jammed completely, for i am unable to update anything on this blog. ofcourse, i cannot write just for the sake of obligation(towards myself again..). huh! a blog...and an obligation...sounds like a weird movie title..what could be the relationship!! there is. now that the blog(any blog..for that matter) has some readers, who keep checking it out..for updates. but i sometimes wonder, "do people really have patience to read about some one's life"..now ok..this thought is based on the assumption that a certain blog is about a person's life..his/her daily life or something of that sort...would anyone be interested? if yes, why? that doesnt mean that i am completely ego-centric or selfish (although i do have that virtue)..but,i do have this thought at times.also, if a person is writing about his/her life, on blog, then does he/she have the infinite freedom to post whatever he/she wants to. i really doubt that. everyone needs to censor something or the other, to avoid some controversy ( thats a big word..but..de-magnify it..).
still, we post. sometimes, even when we dont know what to post. is that an obligation(towards oneself again..)? Hmm! A Blog...and an Obligation...
now dont ask me, if i feel the same. all i can say it that, the itch...is minifying.
On the flip side:
look at the words!! A Blog...and an Obligation...there is already a blog in the word obligation...ok, now, fuse them..and u have "blogligation"..hmm! new word..meaningless though!

greetings from someone who hasn't posted in a month and a half! I remember giving others a hard time to post on their blogs while mine was going ok...but then, suddenly, the "writer's block" shows up...that assumes, of course, that i'm a writer - which may be untrue to begin with, in which case, the block is more the rule! anyways, hope that people like us, with whom the last vestiges of creativity rest, are not silent for long :D
this is uncanny,but this is exactly what I have been thinking for some time.. how people have the patience..
But a blog is still a great medium to express yourself.
You Blog, I Read.
Barkhaast biryaani. End of matter.
Gaandnakhraalu jeyyaku.
