Finally blogging…..but what do I write ??

So here I am…finally the blog bug bit me too. I have been reading several blogs and wonder how efficiently people write on various subjects. For me it sounded like an distant affair because I always used to wonder what to write. Before I could embark on this journey, I have to make few confessions about my fear of writing:

1) Being an introvert, I always shied away expressing my thoughts and views publicly, and also debating on issues of various kinds.I always felt debating don’t reach any conclusions. Its like each one dumping waste paper into a bin without the bin been emptied and ultimately there is overflowing of litter all around without the mess been cleaned. No mess cleaned, no conclusion arrived (hmm…just wondering whether this anomaly is appropriate or is there a better one ? But at this moment of time nothing else comes to my mind to describe it better, so I leave it at this. Slowly may be I will master the art of using suitable anomalies as I keep writing :-) )

2) I also didnt wanted to write because of the fear of being typecasted. I didnt wanted people to typecaste me into any particular category and make me feel that am biased.

3) And lastly the most important reason…the lack of knowledge of appropriate vocabulary. I have to confess, many a times am spell bound not knowing what to say and what words to use. Though lot of thoughts and views that I want to express keep reeling in my mind but because of this shortcoming, I simply decide to keep quiet and not express. Even today, while giving presentation or talks, I have this claustrophobia of words. I feel intimidated by people who talk or express themselves so fluently as if they were born with English vocabulary scripted in their frontal lobes. I wonder how many of you’ll would have similar problem like me but don’t want to confess. It takes a lot of courage to accept this weakness and finally I do it now gathering all my courage and will. :-)

So the big question is…what made me to switch to blogging?

Well all thanks to social networking sites like facebook where I have been posting my thoughts and views on day to day affairs if not regularly. And the likes I would get for my posts. This really prompted and encouraged me to write more, beyond what I post on my FB status. Also in past few years I have been reading a lot of stuff that has changed perception of my individuality and also perception of life as a whole. And I thought blogging is the best medium wherein I can reach people to share what I read and express my personal views and get feedback on my views.

So having put down my shortcomings, fears and anxieties…the reasons behind my introvertness, I now decided to embark on this journey further with you’ll. And I hope it will be a fruitful journey. Ohhh…I cant believe that I have already written so many words by now. Thanks for reading ! :-)
