Lets Talk

I have had an itch to write about this topic for quite sometime, but instances in the last couple of days were the last straws on the fucking old camel's back, so finally jotting this down.

I started my blog back in the college days, when having a blog was uber cool thing, and we college kids knew nothing about google and the only way to spread the blog was through getting a tattoo of the blog url on your forehead and/or keeping the link on your status messages. The bottom line is everybody knew this blog is written by me and i put my thoughts here. Then came the second part of the story. As the link spread, unknown people started reading it (say my college juniors, friends of friends, company people etc) and they started forming an image about me by just reading my blog and without meeting me.

Now the problem is, i am a human being with a normal life apart from this fucking blog. And it really starts irritating me is when i meet people and they pick up some topic from this blog and start discussing about my viewpoint and why did i say what i said! And with all that shit flowing in the air, with almost everyone who knows me reads this space including family, friends and colleagues, i really have to blast my minds off by re-reading all my posts 3 times before publishing so as not to offend anyone! Which defeats the whole purpose of this online blabbering!

And those are the days, when i sit and think, what if i start a blog with the name similar to millions of blog on blogosphere "ramblings and rants of blah blah" and start writing with a fake pen name - lets say champak bhumia? People wont be judgmental over there as they don't know who am i, and i can freely write shitty posts as i used to write sometime back? I will not at all publicize that link and keep it buried somewhere in the depths of this ocean called internet. Those who love rants and cribbing kind of posts will visit there and read and those who dont like such posts wont visit there, but then there wont be unnecessary visitors just reading all the shit i write to keep a look out on what am i saying and how can they judge me by reading that?

The bottom line is, this blog is not dead, but yeah going to be a bit slow, as i start riding on two boats. First one will always be this blog - The Furobiker, second one? I wish none of the readers of this blog ever reaches there..
