There's always a first time...

Well so much for the start. And so here begins my foray in this place which I believe is already over crowded. Never knew what the fuss was about so here I am joining hands with you all. People are blogging their hearts, minds, souls and lots of other things out. I wonder if anyone will ever read my second blog. But then that’s the least of my problems as of now. What is a cause of concern is how do I go about writing my first blog? I got my URL and the blog almost 2 weeks ago and it took me this long to gather my thoughts (well that’s just a figure of expression, I am still lost). Feeling a little curious about my URL are you...its a very very long story (even longer than the URL) and we will get to the nitty gritties later. For now all I can tell you is that this was the starting line of a small 4 liner I wrote very very long ago. Yes, I have tried my hands at writing at poetry and this is the first thing that comes closest to prose (if its ok with you if I call it so).
Well I made a list of what all I could write in my first entry here...here are a few that I had on my agenda...a new restaurant in town (naah...i will save that when I want to right but have nothing else to write about), a novel I am reading (will do so when I am done with it) and even about how much I hate pets (as orkut says, they belong to the zoo...no offences to people out there who adore them).
Now even after writing 263 words till now I am still nowhere close to even starting something to write about let alone close it. I wonder if I would be able to survive for long in this place with my imagination and creativity which I now realise is in extremely short supply (340). Well the place where we work doesn’t require too much creativity and if anyone stays for too long then all they eventually see is the lighter side of life (and everything is blurred). It’s the long hours staring at the monitor I am talking about. Only if my boss sees me putting in this much dedication for my work then he would make sure to give me so much of it that I am never able to show so much devotion towards anything ever again.
And before that happens lets just end the first chapter (although a little prematurely than I would have liked). I am hoping that I will be back real soon because I have something more concrete planned for the readers for the next time (I just pray that they are there). This is just like one of those end of serials teasers to get more people to read my blog. Well as they say...watch out for this space!!!!

Cheers,
Sameer


p.s. you might want to save my URL somewhere. It would be a heartbreaker if you went through with writing such a long address and then seeing that u misspelt something. And I don’t want that to be a deterrent for you all to come in again. Or you can add me to your favourites list so that you never have to write the address again but then that’s just a suggestion:)

Post p.s. please motivate me by leaving a few lines of appreciation (depreciation, although not welcome, will also do). Have a good time guys. See you soon!!!

Welcome to the bolgosphere dear friend. It an irony that you were the one who had the URL before me and I am welcoming you. I am surprised at the originality of the blog and your capacity to hold the readers attention right up to the end, virtually conveying nothing.
I feel you have the capacity to create great stuff once the content also falls in place. ;-) Keep writing.
Bye.

thanks for making me believe that prolixity is not the only way to make a blog interesting.

It also reminded me how, this time also, u did not fail to make a point in the end.

Keep posting
long way to go.
