But why do we Blog?

I always used to wonder..What would be the reason behind everyone starting off with a Blog?

All of a sudden, this Blogging Culture has become so popular and literally everyone is Blogging.

There are Blogging Clubs, forums discussing about Blogs, Blogs here, Blogs there, and Blogs everywhere.

But all this for what?

Some feel, they want to EXPRESS themselves through their Blog. But, to whom? Whom do we expect to express ourselves to, via the internet, when, we meet our Friends, Family and Neighbours every single day and hesitate to Express ourselves to them, which would have at times, solved even a long-lasting Feud.

Well, several others simply say, they need a Hobby, and they Blog to Kill time.

What I ask them is, "Well, why dont you use the time you spend on writing your blog, to write a mail / letter to your old grandparents? Just Imagine how elated they would feel upon reading it !".

Choosing a hobby as per one's own taste is ofcourse Personal.

Next reason, that I widely hear is that of the Bloggers, trying to "Improve their English" by blogging. LOL.

Harrey, why didn't you do your English Homework then? Or why do you refuse to try conversing in English, at School, when your's is supposedly an English Medium School?

If it's a serious attempt at trying to improve one's written English, then I dont have any comments against them, ofcourse.

Someone asked me the same question , the other day, and I did'nt really know what to answer. Why do I blog? The reasons listed above were the only ones I knew, and they all simply sounded very rustic.

And then, I answered in an instant, "Peer Pressure"!

Wow, had never thought of it before. That's really driving a majority of today's teens towards Blogging. I blog just because my friends do, say many teenagers to themselves. They don't really seem to know the reason themselves.

Blogging today, has become sort of a Status Symbol. Owning a Blog, has become an identity, to prove yourself as someone who is well informed about the Internet.

God: "Son, Ask me what you want. I will grant you three wishes."

Man: " Thank You my Lord !
