why people blog

I often wonder why people write blogs? I thought and thought over it and finally came to a conclusion that I should devote a section of my blog to try to reveal the mystery behind the interest of so many people in writing blogs. Here is what I could come up with. People write blog because

1. They have plenty of time to waste. They don’t have anything to do. (In fact most of us fall in this category.) So blog is a by-product of an idle brain. But as we know Idle brain is devil’s workshop. Does that mean a blog is a devil’s workshop? And we, the publishers and readers of the blog, are devils?

2. They have free Internet connection. Of course no one will spend 10 bucks an hour in the cybercafé writing blogs. So that means either you are in an institute like ours or you are working in some stupid software company. And that implies that you don’t have any work. Because students in a technical institute like ours never study (until it’s the exam time) or work (until it’s the final day of submission of project). And in a software industry, everyone pretends to look busy. But at the same time, everyone knows the reality.

3. They have something to say, but no one listen to them. This means they don’t have much value in the society (A polite way to say that they are losers). So if you don’t listen to me, I will deliver you my thoughts in writing. And this thing often works. Try proposing a girl face to face, and you will know what I am talking about. But writing a love letter is not so difficult.

4. They are preparing for GRE or CAT. Now where do these come in picture? Believe me, most of the bloggers are GRE or CAT aspirants. Try mugging up five words a day and at the end of the day try using these words in some sentences while writing a blog. And you will never forget those words for the rest of your life. Also for the people who take part in GD or PI, it’s a fabulous chance to express their feelings and think about a topic philosophically. That’s what you do in GD.

5. They want to reform the world. They think that their ideas have the power to change the world. They can’t talk to the whole world, so they express their feelings to the world through blogs. And surprisingly, you often find people commenting on such blogs as if the ideas expressed in those blogs really matters.

I can’t think of more reasons. If you are a blogger, don’t feel grumpy. After all, this blog had been created by someone like you.

there are people whose stinking write-ups are stinking in their rotting paling diaries.. they also tend to publish their gibberish on the net and then pester their friends to comment on them..

useless blogs tend to be rendered all the more useless if:

a. people don't read it
b. people read it but don't comment
c. people read it and comment "very well written"

bahhhhhh!
