Purpose

All great things have a purpose; for that matter even not-so-great things too! This thought instigated me to justify the rationale behind starting this blog, so here I start.

• I was always fond of writing. I always thought that language is an excellent medium to vent out your unique ideas, feelings and experiences, to honor them for intuiting in your mind over other 7 billion currently active minds on this planet.
• If its not inked, its lost! Yes, a brilliant idea might get lost amidst an overwhelming crowd of 60k odd thoughts which hit your brain each day. So the next time you feel you had something great in your head, you should write it, it will help you think it well and nurture it further or maybe discard it if its not worth, but at least it would have travelled sufficient cognitive miles before dying out. Incase its something good, then writing it would also stipulate greater commitment and higher chance of fructification saving it from getting lost in other mediocre daydreams.
• Even if it isn't an idea, just an observation or experience which entranced you, deserves to be written. This way, you can capture the major snapshots of your life in the passage of time. The only way to see your mind back in time, realize what perceptions you had then, sense the changes you've been through, and get a fair estimate of the number of maturity updates installed in your system till date from that time. If JPEGS you captured are 2D memories of your younger 'you' then such write-ups will augment a deeper and a much meaningful dimension to them.
• You write for yourself, for no other soul but you. This frees you from the load of anticipation of how the audience would perceive your thoughts. For quite sometime, I had been brooding over starting a blog, courtesy these thoughts : 1. my meagre army of words and vocabulary would imply inadequate expression, 2. would I be able to write something of sense, 3. better concentrate on things which will pay-off well.....till 'n' the list goes on, but then came the juggernaut thought, the impulse, firing all these (ill)logical notions off its realm and here I embark the blogger's journey!

I will end this post with this quote, which I dearly adore and madly agree with : Use what talents you possess; the woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang best. -- Henry Van Dyke
