The Cream and Scum of Blogging

Ours not to reason why,
Ours but to do an die.

Ummm Life is like that isn't it? It is full of choices which may or may not appeal to us. I like life as it is, full of contradictions, a little rough, a little sweet, kabhi khushi kabhi gham kinda scenario. Is blogging any different?

Bloggers seem to stretch from here to eternity. Techo, movie buffs, music buffs, just-airing-their-view-on-anything, letting-it-all-hang-out types. Celebrities, of whom Shobha De seems to invite most brickbats (even from me). There are guys who lost their jobs because they were too hasty to run down the companies that had just employed them. Some lucky ones like Maureen Dowd get famous because of their blogs.

I first stumbled across blogs god knows in which year. I didnt even have an internet connection at home. I used to surf in cyber-cafes, exploring this medium and spending a lot of money in just fooling around. I had created a profile on rediff blogs and wrote to a couple of bloggers. Didnt really get along with the medium, created a blogger profile and lost it. Discovered Jai Arjun's Jabberwock, followed it for a while, lost it. Yada Yada Yada, and here I am with a healthy blog and a good amount of blogger friends who are on my phone and email lists even. I have met a couple and chatted with a few.

It has been a wonderful journey and I have no intention of giving it up. That is the cream for me.

Scum - hum ! I guess there are plenty of bloggers who would put me off. But hey, they have as much right to this world as I do. Let us all swim together in this large ocean.

I like honest bloggers who have a good style and don't bore me. I bypass bloggers who bore me/seem affected/have a bad style. I wouldnt call them scums, just that they are not my type.

Our kind multiplies:We shall by morning
Inherit the earth.
Our foot's in the door.
