What to blog..?

It has been a long time since i have written anything (other than an ever lenghtening list of 'things to do'). I'm not bragging but many have asked me when my blog would come out of hibernation. I was browsing through a few blogs to know whats in these days... Hey!! I was under tremendous pressure mostly created by my own mind... which refused any more excuses... no inspiration to write?? ... what am i ... Salman Rushdie?? I know of people who maintain regularly updated blogs... almost ever week new posts are ready complete with pics and all... But most of those are the ones i dont agree with...why? read on...
I really dont understand why people put up personal information about what they did with their friends, how they enjoyed a trip, putting up pics of their friends or writing some nonsensical selfmade proverbs...
Blogging may mean just writing... but what you write must be worth reading... people should want to come back to you blog to argue against your stand or agree with your reasoning not to know about what you did last sunday...
You may argue that your blog is your own personal space to put up anything you want but in my opinion a good blog should give you something to think about ... something to comment on ... something worth a read!

Believe it or not, most of the comments are on the personal topics! A good blog is a good blog, personal or not. Its just that an impersonal blog has a lot more chance to get wide readership than a 'cat' blog.

Creativity can be in any form,idea personal or based on things that we see around ourselves....needless to say ppl write outta their own experiences or at times abstract...so in my opinion its rather too hard for a liberal like me to digest your viewpoint...I think rest of the points have been made by other floaters on ur blogs..:)

This particluar entry more or less seems to be your private entry rather a thought provoking entry ',' something to comment on 'or' something worth a read! So better stick to this handle : "It's your space and your are the dictator when it comes to what to & what not to post"

-> This is just my view nor i won't force folks to fall into my ideas.But your post " How dare they....?" is simply awesome.Enjoyed surfin through.Thanks for your time and Good Job :)

You are damn right ! I would never put up posts in my blog just for the sake of filling it up!

But then, if you don't put up a post in a long time( which has to worth reading, as you say), then either you don't have the time, or you're not creative enough.

that was a bit of a tricky post heh. while it doesnt actly do anythng ur 'ideal' blog shld do, u still recieve 17 comments so its obvsly made ppl think! lol..i agree ppl posting their mundane lives online as blogs bores the shit out of me. then agen blogs dont have to be nayhting at all. for me its more therapy than anythng. its a much needed release from the shittiness of life, helps confront things i cnt really stand up to in real life. escapism? yes. helping? hell yes. so alls fair.

I cannot believe that you actually get 18 serious comments on a post like this! What is this world coming to? Filled with lame-asses who have nothing better to do that comment on posts like this one? Well, I seriously do believe that you get so much attention on this blog purely because the blog belongs to a girl! Well, I know I am being rude, but couldn't resist commenting. You are welcome to fire me back anytime...:)
