Yet another blog. Yet another of those online dairies being written with the hope that it might be read by people other than me and my friends (who I of course force to read) but which is sure to be mixed with and lost in the ever growing pile of junk that keeps getting added to the internet everyday.(Observe that I haven’t called this blog junk. Conceit?) I like to think that the idea of the blog is our greatest tribute to our own egos. To think that our opinions , our lives and our ideas would be of interest to anyone but ourselves and some who are dear to us – that is the height of megalomania. Ok , too strong …but something like that.
More interesting is the term “Online diary” . I first learnt that this is what a blog meant. This might not exactly be true , but surely many people seem to think along those lines. To me it is one of those oxymoronic phrases. You put something online if you want others to see it. In the good old days , were the dairies that people wrote meant to be read by anyone else besides themselves? I doubt it. Yet ,here we are . Diarying online (if such a word exists) . We are writing our own diaries , for an audience . It s an interesting phenomenon.
Anyways , this is my second blog. The first blog had huge pretensions to humor . I belabor under the usually misplaced notion that I am funny . My friends have proved me wrong more times than I really care to remember. My blogs bespoke this. I am usually successful in coming across as funny to all kids under 5 . (And this feat I achieve by making faces). Being a marketing major , I would like to think that I have found my niche. (Though I am seriously considering expanding my franchise to the 6- 8 age group ) .
Alas !! for another failed attempt.
If there is really an audience out there, hapless people reading this, bear with me.
Well , got to find people to read this . So signing off for now.
