VANITY!

i realized something today. i am vain. or why else would i wish to create a blog of my own and share my posts with others? it stems from a deep-rooted sense of vanity, my friends! one could argue that blogging is a technologically savvy way of maintaining a diary. i don't buy that. people don't maintain diaries to let other people peep into their private/personal worlds. they do that more often for self-introspection, as a matter of habit or even for practising handwriting (lame as this sounds), if you please...not because they are vain. i am blogging because i feel important enough to myself to let my thoughts and opinions be known. so i'm vain. there, i've said it. clip my wings if you will.

One blogs because this is the only space where one can 'talk' - in my case, spew - to one's heart's content without anyone being able to ask one to shut up! I agree about the being important to oneself bit - I do believe that my thoughts are important enough to be shared on a public platform. Shades of vanity there? Well, you said it!

Welcome to the world of blogging, btw!
