Blogger buddies

As Bahrain is a not-so-happening country, I started my second life as a virtual one. First of all, I was very much dependent and a fan of Orkut, the popular social networking website. I met many long lost friends, some new friends through Orkut. Most importantly, I made some good friends in Bahrain, thanks to Orkut. But slowly things started to move otherwise. People started losing interest in Orkut. It's the same case with me too. It was then that I was attracted to Blogs through some Orkut friends like Keerthi, Usha, Sravan. I started my blog after being inspired by the above people. Believe me, I don't know anything about blog-hopping for many days. I confined to reading only the blogs of my friends for a long long time. It was then that Keerthi asked me whether I was going through other blogs or not for which I replied no. Then she told me that I should visit other blogs and leave my comments there so as to attract others to my blogs. I was not interested much to do this but slowly I started blog-hopping and was introduced to the wonderful world of many other bloggers.
Now, my day would start logging on to my gmail account so that I can the check the comments I've left on other's blogs and the comments they've left on my blog. It's some sort of addiction to me nowadays. I was interested in some blogs, I was in love with some others and I was addicted to some. It was not until last 10 days that I realized my addiction to the Bloggerville.
I was checking out Solitaire's blogs and one post gave me the shock of my life. Sneha(Solitaire) maintains 6 blogs at a time and everyone of them will have a new post every couple of days. I was so amazed by her writing abilities and her punctuality in replying others' comments on her blogs. Her recent post which gave a li'l shock read something like she'll be away from the Bloggerville for a few months as she had to concentrate on her studies. After reading this, I felt as if I'm not going to see some best friend for a few months. I was kinda sad for at least a couple of hours.
Then Samby gave another scare in just a couple of days after Sneha shocked me. Samby's blog is another one which shows how different and independent an individual can be. He also posted that he's going to leave the Bloggerville. While Sneha posted that she'll be leaving for a few months, Samby didn't mention anything about his return.
Both these incidents made me think twice about my dependence on blogs. Now, I wanted to keep myself under isolation from the Bloggerville for a few days and check out what sort of fascination I've on my virtual life. Wish me all the best, blogger buddies.

yess even i am addicted, but posting everday has not been my cup of tea yet..but i am amazed at reading some of the write ups!!! by the way that video link of dil chahta hai, even i love that song!!

Sree said...

well, it happens Satish, i mean out there away from everyone we know in person, we tend to get closer to the virtual ones, ones who share the same interests or ones whose thoughts provoke your mind. It turning into addicition is just a phase.. Orkut lage idi kooda nemmadiga impact taggutundi.. waxing and waning depending on what else is happening in your life..

anyways, be happy whatever you plan to do.

don't do it just for the heck of it, if u like and enjoy blogging why are u trying to stay away from it?

Cinderella said...

Why do you hafta quit now ?!
Madness !!!!

Cinderella said...

Totally ditto Anjuli.

Keshi said...

Sol is temporarily stopping her Psychobabble blog..not all her blogs. And Samby isnt quitting either..he's just moving out to a new place so he wont be regular until he settles down. Thats all.

I love blogging..u can call me an addict :). But Im not afraid of it. Cos Blogging hasnt stopped me from engaging in other areas of my life equally. I work hard, hv ample family and friends time, I go out, drive to places in the weekends etc.

Blogging has made me grow in ways that I can never finish telling. No I'd never be afraid of something like that!

Satish it isnt abt being 'dependent'...it's abt wanting to be here. Its not an obligation or a duty just cos some bloggers r leaving etc. It should be a passion. If not, u wont enjoy it anyways :)

Good luck whichever decision u may take!

Keshi.

Satish Bolla said...

@anjuli
am not complaining abt my blog. it's the other blogs that r making me move away. u know, there r some blogs which i like more than mine. being close to them n after a while learning that they r goin to b closed is a bit hard for me. anyways, am back with the fullest of my blogging energy.

@cindrella
reply "Totally ditto Anjuli."'s. Why did u call me "mad"? am hurt.... :(

@keshi
how did u think that i can stay away frm Bloggerville? it's too tough that wht i thought. i took a break of just around 36 hrs and am back again. see, i already posted two posts n am ready with another one. thanx for the morale boost. i required that.

Satish Bolla said...

@Ceedy
kuch nahin hain re. thoda sa bachpana, thoda sa pagalpana. am not going anywhere. in fact, i can't go anywhere.

@solitaire
ya, life's same again. now, i realized that it's hard to separate blogs frm me. am here now and will b here till my last breath(thoda jyada ho gaya na?)

Keshi said...
