Blog, Lola. Blog.
Okay .. so after a long time, today I have something to blog about. Yeah I have to confess, these days i don't have that urge to blog which i used to have almost everyday. I don't know, why is it so? may be these days my life is lot less happening that there is hardly anything to write home about. Then I do not want my blog to be discussing all the serious issues mankind or my city or my country is facing. Also these days I don't feel like writing about the way i spent my weekend (that is something i used to do a lot earlier). I wonder if my love affair with blogging is slowly headed towards a silent death?? I don't feel that much addicted towards blogging, though blogging has helped me a great deal, and specially it has helped me make a lot of new friends, both in the virtual world as well as in real world. I've met a lot of cool people thru DBM, and made some nice friends.
Diya, for instance, was my co-tripper on my recent visit to Teerthan valley. And you know, we hardly knew each other prior to that visit. We had met only once at a Bloggers meet and perhaps exchanged a few occasional sms's between us. Later, towards the end of our trip, both of us candidly accepted that in the beginning of the trip we both understandably had our doubts about the way this trip was going to go, given the fact that we hardly knew each other. But as it turned out, lack of knowing each other, added to the thrill of the trip and it turned out to be an awesome awesome trip, plus I found a big-hearted and very humble friend in Diya.
So you see, i really want my love affair with blogging to continue, but i don't know how to bring back that passion in this dying affair....
anyway, coming back to what gave me a reason to blog today...
Few days back a fellow blogger from Chennai, Sophia, left a comment on my blog, that she'll be in Delhi and would like to meet me.A couple of e-mails later we decided that Sophia would call me on staurday once she lands in Delhi, and then we'll fix up some time/place to meet. However entire weekend passed without any call from her, and it was only yesterday afternoon when she called up, and we decided about meeting today.
Now Sophia's favorite movie seems to be 'Kabhi Haan, Kabhi Na', as that is what kept happening on a number of calls between that we had between us this morning.... after oscillating between yes and no a number of times we finally were able to agree on a place to meet. After struggling thru the Delhi traffic at it's peak hour for about 1.5 hrs, I was finally able to meet her over a cup of coffee for around 30 minutes. In that short time Sophia came out to be a very warm person, a talkative girl, with lot of enthu and a person who cares and loves her friends a lot. Most of the time she spoke about her very good and protective friend, Ashvin. And you bet it, I now know so many things about Ashvin without even meeting him once, that if there was a Mastermind quiz on him, after Sophia, I'd be the most likely candidate to win it :D
Given my work constraints and thanks to 'Kabhi Haan, Kabhi Na', I could spend only 30 minutes with Sophia. But it surely was a time well spent... It was great to meet you, Sophia. Take care! keep Rocking!! Keep Blogging!!!

Yes it is indeed difficult to keep the blog up like those regular tv programs...u know where no matter what, u will always have a new episode on the pre-fixed day at a pre-fixed time... but not writing a blog for many days doesnt mean that it is a dying love... It is the writing with passion each time, you write, whenever you write, is what makes it your true love!
(huh! gimme some water...:)
hi amit...it was gr8 meeting u man...i called u in the evening from the airport but...u dunno must have been probably busy...i dunno with wat...lol...just kidding
had nice time...hope to come back to delhi agn sometime...see u soon the world is small...do keep calling Ashwin...he is really nice...without him this trip would have been a flop for me...a lot of encouragement...a lot of love n caring...a lot of security n more i got from him n Mathew...
I can really relate to being out of subjects. HOrrible!!
how u doing?
Hi Amit ,even i am completley out of ideas ,though its a diff thing that i never had them :D.But the thing is nothing happening is happening in my life.
umm, I was apprehensive earlier but I have also met a few bloggers and it was fun.
hi amitken
it does happen..sumtimes u almost blog daily n sumtimes wait a little longer...gud to cu bck..but sumhw i like blog world to b just virtual...tc..:)
Well, a blgo is ur own space..write anything u have to..don't think so much!
I blogged for aboiut 2 years, and hardly wriote anything political/current.
Keep visiting other blogs..and ull surely get inspired. and as you so rightly said, meeting opther bloggers has definitely given u the enhu to go on.
If you need masala for another post..how about a cup of coffee?? :D
Aradhita,
Clap Clap.... ;-) that was inspiring!!
sophia,
Thanks, hope to see u someday again...
Blackempress,
I am doing fine. Thank you! wassup with you?
ahaan,
I wonder what the definition of 'happening' is. I think my blog sometimes presents my life as much more happening than it really is :)
Arunima,
Yes! i guess thats the fear of unknown... but once u meet them, u can come across some very nice people.
sona,
It's basically personal choice whether u want it to keep it totally virtual or make it bit real. However as Arunima pointed out, the initial hiccup is there, but once u meet people u enjoy the fun, besides who doesn't like to be friends with some nice cool people...
Ajay,
Any time, dude :-)
hi
inspite of not wanting to blog,u could do a post on it....
carry on amit
for ur friends
uma
Err, Blogging seems to come across as quite 'productive' for you :)
Been blogging for almost 2 years now and I know this feeling.
But I guess the writing bug never kinda quits on yoi.
First time here and I am hooked.....I love your style of writing.
Have got you on blogroll....will be back
