Just bumped into this ancient thing while trying to help my office colleague create one blog of her own. God I was so naive back then! The last post I had written was when I was in class 12, 2008!!!
I did not even know what exactly one is supposed to do with a blog back then. I just knew that you had to have one. It was a new thing, a new trend, rather, and I had to be a part of it. Lol! i got this "lol" habit out of this itself. I could never get rid of it...
its so stupid.LOL!
I broke the gas regulator. lol!
Mom blasted me. lol!
I did that ...LOL
lol lol lol
Anyways, I tried real hard to continue blogging. I mean it couldn't be more difficult than writing a diary. And although I maintained my personal diaries at that time, I just didn't know what to write about in blogs. Even today, I am writing this out of pure nostalgia. What I would give to go back to those days when life was just about to begin. I was not yet 18. Numerous possibilities...
And career was all bout passing the "final exams"! "Online" was always in cyber cafes (our broadband was pathetic and always gave out when i needed it the most). And fun was the three of us chatting away while walking down one of those Laitumkhrah lanes, back in Shillong...
Life was simple back then
But my blogging attempt never caught on. And eventually it died a painless silent death.(lol)
I think what I found most difficult about blogging was that i somehow felt i had to write it like a diary...something personal and yet it would be public for all to see. The idea itself was so conflicting. Ofcourse i had no idea what really blogging is. And ever since that forgotten 'death', I never got back to figuring it out, but today when i came across the 'dead blog', it felt as alive as ever. And all those snuffed up memories just came gushing back...
So I have decided to yet again try and maintain this even if only for a few days, so that years later when I read what I have written today, I again get to inhale the same redolence of yesteryears that I smelt today...
