Dear blog,
I've always written what i felt in this space. Its great to know there is some space on internet where you can write and maybe occasionally somebody reads,might as well like it and once in a blue moon somebody takes the pain of mentioning my work and appreciating it. It feels like oasis in a desert, like the first rain of monsoon, like the correct answers you give to the teacher when you get caught doing a mischief in your classroom and she asks you a question! Its a great feeling indeed.
Call me a non-socializing person and some freak who needs to vent out on this blog every now and then or some great writer-to-be, but i'm still the one who seeks for appreciation/criticism for every single piece i write..however stupid the idea might sound. Naive/Narcissist you may think, every writer who writes admits that its not their best piece of work, for they always want to improve. They might say "yeah!that's the story i love among all the ones i've written..." or "i loved working for that article"...but a writer who is honestly into it never says "that's the best piece of my writing", for they know they can do better. And so do i.
I am proud of you,my blog. Its the one place all my writings (most of them...) are accumulated and the one URL which inspires me. Every now and then, just like any other human, i feel low about what i am, i question my worthiness, my flair for writing, and to answer all those questions you were always there saying "You dear!are kidding about not-so-worthy. Don't give a shit as who says what about your writing, don't give a damn about appreciation, don't give twopence for publicity, you alone know all the struggle you've been through and the feeling of content after you finish writing a blogpost and 'Publish' it. Go through all those posts from the past and you can be quite amused how far you've come and how better you can be. Just be yourself and write another article. Keep me alive. as a memoir, as a proof, as an inspiration, as a guidance, as a friend for you to come back to me when nothing is motivating you. Just write!"
Publicity, appreciation, criticism, rewards-everything is secondary. The moment you start writing, only completing it remains the sole aim, delivering the idea which got initiated in your brain so randomly and the urge it made you feel to write stands as the prime thing. Well, i do edit it for making it presentable.
"Art not to please others, but to evoke a response. To share something essential with others that must not go unspoken, unheard."

So, thank you dear blog, for holding my writings, keeping me motivated, inspired and giving me the strength to keep on going.
