In defence of blogs


Again my friend annoyed me by saying: “Shut your blog and use your time for something better.”
I want to answer him with Seema’s post.
I know Seema only through her blog. We have not interacted through chat or phone, though I have done so with many blog friends. We keep motivating each other with positive words. I think Seema’s post is an inspiration for those who feel negative and pessimistic in life. 
Here it is exactly as in her blog: http://seema-huesoflife.blogspot.com

yyaaayyy!!!

I am happy to tell all my blogging buddies and to my dear blog, i got a job!
Now anyone on this earth would say, what great deal in that?
The reason why it is a great deal for me is, I had not taken up any job after I completed my studies. There were ample reasons for it. And I was happy being at home, atleast for some days. Then slowly i started getting frustrated, and a time arrived where I felt, i was not worth for a job. Buddies i tell you, don't ever be frustrated, depressed, feel worthless. It is the worst feeling you can ever have.
But then i don't know how, i got into a touch with a placement consultancy, he arranged an interview for me the same day. And i got selected in a very first attempt. I have stepped into an altogether different world. Its an MNC which is the leading one in the industry of travel and leisure. I have got a realization that its not a very flashy job when it comes to "PACKAGE". But its totally fine with me. I am here to learn, to get a good experience. And apart from that, monetary returns were not the only motivation why i have taken up this job. The other reasons are, that i get to live with my family, take good care of my mother, look after my home, live in my hometown...
These factors have motivated me enough to take up not-so flashy job, but i tell you i am learning a lot.
I am feeling so happy when i write this...and here i discover another hue of life, happiness is not a matter of things, its a matter of spirits!!!
P.S.: A special thanks to R. Ramesh, (of GLOBAL MADRAS
I), a blog buddy who has been so supporting and encouraging me to get through. Your comments are valuable to me! Thanks, once again!!

  1. People target me all the time saying that I am wasting my time in blogging and living in a virtual world!!

    That never changed by love and perspective of blogging and never will! :-)

  3. Good to know a little more about you. Not a waste of time at all, I'd be lost if all my good blogger buddies were to take your friends advice and stopped blogging. Thanks for the link, i'm away to visit Seema now.

  5. This quip usually comes from people who either cant write atleast 1/10ths as good as all the bloggers or from the group of people who dont have a life. And I can certainly understand the predicament that you are in. So, don't heed to what others might say and just go the way your mind tells you.

    My first comment on your blog ended up all of us defending the very essence of blogging. Awesome! :)

  6. Ramesh,

    Tell your friends you would not have met me if you did not blog. That is one big reason for blogging. Second reason is NRI and ...list is long......
