Why this Blog

Answering a question of my friend, I happen to tell him about my blog. He asked me- why was I writing blogs and whether I thought I have done that big an achievement to write blogs and let others know about my life? That got me into thinking- Why do I write blogs?

The answer that I received is beautiful. I am the most special person of my life. I simply love the way I am, the way I talk, the way I think, the way I dress, the way I fight, the way I love, in short I love everything about me- good and bad. So am I not justified in having a blog or rather anything in this world?

Of course in the eyes of the world I am no achiever. I am no Bill Gates or Shah Rukh Khan or APJ Abdul Kalam. So, where have I asked the world to write blogs or articles about me? Moreover with due respect to these gentlemen, the impact they have in my life is far too little than my own. This world exists for me because I exist. The moment I cease to exist how will it matter what happens to the world or what it thinks? I love myself for this very existence and not for what others thinks about me.

I have one life and that too almost half of it is over, so why shouldn't I do anything that makes me happy. In my view I am no lesser than anybody. Everybody in this world is as important as anybody else. Definition of success and achievement can't be narrowed down to the amount of money we have made or brands of dresses and shoes that we wear or how fair and beautiful we look. I celebrate my ordinariness.

So, shouldn't I record the life of such an important person? For whom? For myself. I feel I am growing with every passing year. After a few decades, I will read these blogs and rewind my life with faceful of smile and heartful of happiness.

I got my answer.
