Last post for this year

I began (in 2010) this blog hoping to get somewhere. It has always been like that. Everything I do has to have some purpose, some destination. Therefore I thought that blogging is not for me when I couldn't get people to look at my blogs. Blogs that I visited had hundreds of followers and comments. So I simply stopped blogging, not that I blogged like crazy. Interesting writing has always caught my attention and that’s how I came across Anuradha Shankar's travel blog "A Wandering Mind". I was blown away, but that which worked the most for me was Maaji's blog "Memories & Musings I & II" like she says she is a grandmother recording her memories for her grandchildren. What beautiful records of the past life. It is the writing part that holds me, beautiful language and clarity of thought and her memories which she is willing to share with the world, not just her family. Other blogs that interest me are "A Travel blog of an Indian Backpacker", Blogeswari, Gappa and others.

For some reason I wanted to read their blogs again and again and eagerly log on every morning hoping to see a new entry. Some of the blogs were lengthy, some just a line or a picture, which helped me understand that asymmetry, haphazard thoughts and confusion also make sense most of the times.  I began blogging, it was clear that realized it everything does not have to have  a purpose , sometimes mindless wandering and rambling also makes sense.

So here's ending this year's last blog by thanking the faceless individuals who helped me in many ways, thank you.  And lastly, HAPPY NEW YEAR. C, ya all next year.
