In search of objectivity...

I was supposed to take a break! The movie I watched yesterday, for sure gave me the much needed break.

I came across these set of Qs and thought I should be giving it a try and c if I can truly substantiate my existence in the blogosphere. S, V1 and V2 have constantly been doubting the objectivity of my blogging! Here I have tried to answer those very questions...

1. Do you like the looks and content of your blog?
I feel that they are a part of the package that u r offering to your blog readers, along with the content.

2. Does your family know about your blog?
Yep! My dad knows about it and my bro also knows that I am a passionate blogger! The rest of my family members are pretty much unaware of this tool!

3. Can you tell your friends about your blog?
Yes. I have made it known to a lot of my friends. For me blogging gives a sense of liberation. Its a wonderful tool to share my thoughts, ideas and have a say on almost everything, right from the cat jumped over my table stuff to who is US to hang saddam?

4. Do you just read the blogs of those who comment on your blog?
I mostly read the blogs I have blog rolled regularly and try to comment as well. It has sort of helped me build a rapport and make new friends in the blogosphere. But having said that I also read other blogs every now and then, mostly via other's blog roll.

5. Did your blog positively affect your mind?
9/10 times it has a positive impact on me. It has changed my perspective and also I have realized that it’s not suchha different world altogether. I can mostly relate to other stories of other ppl with that of mine.

6. What does the number of visitors to your blog mean?
To be frank, I was initially allured by this stats stuff, which was centered around the figures like how many hits per day and so on. But off late diversity in blog readers is what matters to me more than their mere number. To reach a wider audience is more important!

7. Do you imagine what other bloggers look like?
If they happen to post their pic, the I guess I can figure out! I suppose most of them belong to this milky way galaxy!!! Are there any ETs blogging? Lemme know :)

8. Do you think blogging has any real benefit?
Absolutely. I firmly believe that not only does this help u review yourself from time to time, but also improve your thought process by having an opportunity to read about people whose exp are real and not cooked up!

9. Do you think that the blogosphere is a stand alone community separated from the real world?
Not really. It’s just a part and parcel of this internet. I think they have evolved as a strong platform to showcase your voice aptly to the world outside. In India it’s yet to scale greater heights. I am sure the days are not far, when u will be looked up on as an ET if u don't blog!!!

10. Do some political blogs scare you? Do you avoid them?
I firmly believe in freedom of thought and expression. What better can be a tool to publicize your political stance than a blog? I am not really scared of any such blogs!

11. Do you think criticizing your blog is useful?
I feel that my blog is dynamic and any system that is dynamic needs a feed back. It need not always be a praise; it could be criticism as well. I feel constructive criticism is always helpful for improvement.

12. Have you ever thought what would happen to your blog in case you died?
Hmmm.... Not really! I wonder that it would stay there at some corner in the blogosphere, holding back all my memories in text and graphic, always reminding people of what I thought and believed in.

13. Which blogger has had the greatest impression on you?
I wouldn't call it as impressed but rather call it as impact. A lot have done it. I really appreciate bloggers for the originality of their content, their ability to separate fact from fiction, with utter distinction. I truly admire a few bloggers! (Just scroll down my blog roll for confirmation)

14. Which blogger do you think is the most similar to you?
I haven't really met anyone of my wavelength yet! But I feel each blog is unique in its own way as every Bollywood movie is unique, in spite of the same old romantic saga. LOL.

15. Name a song you want to listen to.
Ah! That depends mostly on my mood! I am more inclined to listening to Hindi music of all genres. I really admire Kishore Kumar and SPB.

PS: I feel a lot more assured of the purpose and my passion seems to be quite strong. I shalt blog until I lose both!
