Some Confessions Of A Blogaholic

Blogaholic refers to one who loves Blogging & her/his Blog. 

Here the Blogaholic is yours truly.

Ever since I have started Blogging seriously, I have been doing crazy things... more so in the recent past.

The following are half a dozen Confessions of this Blogaholic!

1. Everything appears like a story to me, with the potential to make it BIG & get featured on my super Blog! When I read the newspaper or watch the news, I am no longer that helpless or passive... Blogging is cathartic & therapeutic.

2. Blogging makes me feel powerful. My mind is always active and has a say. I express through my Blog and also via fellow-Bloggers' posts.

I feel free to express whatever I wish & share my views on the good and the not-so-good topics.

a) When I read about the tilting of the Train by passengers to free a man whose leg had got trapped between the carriage & the platform in Perth, Australia, I mentally picked this inspiring incident as a future-topic for my Blog.

b) Some days later, it was heart-touching when I read about the Pune incident where the public got together to push a bus & rescue two accident-victims- young boys who were trapped under the bus.

I decided I would love to write a Social-cause post citing the above-mentioned two examples to create awareness. The current week's IndiSpire topic supports this. The public needs to come to the aid of victims as 'Union is Strength'. I also decided to share our Supreme Court's announcement for Good Samaritans.

3. Blogging makes me forget everything- even the day, date & time!

Yesterday, I assumed it was Thursday, and hence the deadline of the current IndiSpire topic! Imagine thinking Tuesday to be Thursday! I quickly started writing my thoughts as discussed in the points above, as a race against time. I hurried to write my Post- WE-POWER & managed to post it much before 10 PM. Then, I checked & was puzzled why the latest IndiSpire topic was not yet out though it was more than 10 PM as per the clock! After half-an-hour, I realized that yesterday was Tuesday & there is still time- 2 whole days for the deadline!

4. Blogging makes me hurry & scurry & in my haste I forget all what I had initially decided to write about!

After seeing the comments for my post-WE-POWER, I realized that in my haste, I had missed writing about the Pune-example (of the bus & People-Power as discussed in Point#2 above) in my Post...

For the umpteenth time, I learnt the lesson- 'Haste makes waste'! 

5. Blogging makes me feel silly at times. At other times I do silly things and feel silly.

a) How could I exclude the Pune-People-Power-Indian-Unity example?
I had included the Western example, but not our Indian one...
(I used to feel the same way after writing my Exam-papers, when I realized that I have missed  important points!)

b) Two days ago, how could I write a comment addressed with a male Blogger's name, without realizing that the same Blog belongs to a female? The confusion was because they both use similar background theme. 

Once the damaging comments had been posted, I posted fresh comments addressed with the correct name of the Blogger & apologizing for my faux-pas...

c) Today, how could I post a comment intended for one Blog to another? Worse, I don't even know which/whose Blog has received my comment on 'Japanese values'...  After posting my comment for 1 Blog, I realized my blunder when I found the right Blog-post still waiting for my comment! I sheepishly retyped my comment there.

I am so sorry & am feeling guilty. My sincere apologies if it's you & your Blog that has got a totally irrelevant comment from me... 

6. As I am a positive person, I look for the silver lining in my Blogging-cloud and decide to focus on that for my Post as I love happy endings! 

We are what we choose!

See, my positive choice & great humour now has also enabled me to write this post with half a dozen of a Blogaholic's Confessions!

Note- This is by no means an exaggeration, and is a true personal account. 

Do excuse me for my Blogging-mistakes. I am still learning & trying...
