Why blog ?

I think a lot, make lots of promises to myself, which are volatile. My brain is very forgiving on this aspect. This is good in one way, as I let my brain wander and explore new ideas but at the same time, I am losing some good thoughts that I should have realized. Each of these thoughts, whether perfect or not, are an asset. If I can introspect them better, learn from them - I will be a better person.

Having a written reference of what I think , being able to see them, sometimes even track them can help a lot. So, truly this blog is going to be a dump of my thoughts that I consider as my personal asset.

Any alternatives

So, blogging is inflexible in the sense I make my promise public. I expose my self to the world and by doing so I put my skin in the game, it is serious. I’m more vulnerable and the only outcome will be either I do what I say or learn from what I said, so that I fix them in the future. So, truly blogging is more like my personal diary, just slightly different. It is not a secret.

Do I identify myself ?

Big question. Answering “yes”can have a big consequence in my life. I’ll be literally exposed for the rest of my life. Whether I’m saying/thinking something stupid or not, will be visible to the world, people will be able to see me in the reflection of my blog. I won’t have any space left for any impersonation. It is risky as it will not leave any space for me. But truly, my blog will be an honest representation of me. So, good or bad, that’s what I’m and I’ve to live with it. Truly, a true “skin in the game” can happen only if I expose myself. However, the question is - when do I expose myself ? Not decided yet.

What will be the theme of the blog ?

Blog will contain figment of my thoughts. Good, bad and ugly. The true purpose of the blog will be to connect to myself.
