I have always wondered what a blog is all about. Some people use it as a diary, recording their life into it. But why would anyone want the whole of their life to be public? Why would anyone want their thoughts to be read by everyone. Is this one way of leaving behind something in this world. A footprint of sorts, of our minds...

But then, thoughts are random... It is not the tedious things we do everyday, not the monotony of life, but those rare moments of total lucidity and incomprehensible curiosity about everything. Why would we want these private thoughts to be completely public, where anyone and everyone can read them? Is it because we overestimate our intellectual capabilities, because we think that what we have to say is so good, so right, that everyone should get a chance to read it?

I just wrote all this down, I think, because I wanted to try it. Whether I continue with this habit, write something down periodically or not, does not really matter to me. But will this allow me to meet people who think like me, or think about such things no matter if their opinions differ from mine? That is the beauty of ideas and thoughts. There is no single right idea or thought. Everyone is entitled to their own. And to meet minds like those would definitely be worth all this effort, now, wouldn't it?
