It’s been a while I have written a blog post, around two months. I came across different topics in these two months and came up with different ideas of putting them in a blog, but couldn’t for various reasons. I was analyzing the reason why I was unable to post even one in past two months. While doing so, i thought that itself would become a good blog post. :-)
My Last blog post was on March 18th when I wrote about the risks of Geotagging and sharing location information in Social Networking sites. I am a great admirer of Bhagat Singh and thought March 23rd, Shaheed Diwas, will be a good occasion to write about him and his great ideas. After finishing the post when I went over it twice, I felt the post was missing the personal touch which I think is very much essential in a blog. By the time I finish adding that, the feel of ‘Shaheed Diwas’(occasion) might be lost and hence did not write about it.
Then thought of writing and spreading word about “Dandi March 2” organized by few NRIs and Lok Satta Party against the Anti-Corruption. During the same time The Hindu came up with the Wiki Leaks for India and was giving a first page coverage daily. After following for few days felt there is nothing new in Wiki Leaks which we (common man of India) don’t know, whether it is “Vote for Cash”, “Indian Money in Swiss banks” or the “ISI involvement in terrorist attacks in India”. So thought of writing a blog post “Wiki Leaks for India and what’s New???” But felt what’s new in my post that is really to be told again and hence did not post it.
After a few days Anna Hazare has started his hunger strike until death against corruption. Thanks to the social networking and sensation hungry media, the word spread and measures were taken towards Jan Lok Pal Bill. During this period I did not like the way media and some people projected the idea that democratic government and politics are the root cause of all the evil in society and politics should be eliminated. Wanted to write the importance of politics and democracy with title “The solution to ‘Bad Politics’ is 'Better Politics' but not ‘NO Politics’.” I did not post about this thinking that I am not capable of writing on such an in-depth topic.
Being said that during the same time few people even doubted the credibility of Anna Hazare and his team based on again the sensation hungry media and few reports/comments from politicians like Amar Singh. Wanted to warn the guys who were doubting the anti corruption movement that they were actually misleading and confusing the people who started involving (people until now generally doesn’t care) in a public cause. I wrote a detailed comment about this on one such blog of my friend but the comment did not appear due to technical issues in blogspot. My laziness won over and I did not write about this again.
I have watched few movies like ‘Hotel Rwanda’ (Watched earlier but did not have the same feel at that time) and ‘Shooting Dogs’ about the genocide in Rwanda and felt so proud about India and realized how lucky I was to be born in India. Started writing a series of blog posts (though did not post even one) with title “Why I am proud of India.”
During these two months, watched few TED talks where people has shown various unorthodox ideas that can change the society and wanted to write about each of them like how Kiran Bir Sethi has proven how children can become the change and can transform the society.
Wanted to write about Mother’s day and especially how I consider my mother as the best resource manager I have ever seen. But felt that would be too personal and since I am generally not inclined towards sharing personal feelings and did not post that.
There were few other ideas for the occasion like The Earth Day or the death anniversary of Rajiv Gandhi & LTTE and the ideas which always in my mind to share with others. But because of my Laziness or irrational reasoning, haven’t posted even one of them. Recently watched Swades (watched it countless times), where the opening statement caught my attention and is the reason for blogging again.
Somehow after reading this, I felt I was thinking too much about few things and hesitating to do things which I should have done earlier.“Hesitating to act because the whole vision might not be achieved, or because others do not yet share it, is an attitude that only hinders progress.”– Mahatma Gandhi.
One such thing is about thinking too much and behaving lazily about writing my blog and hence spreading my ideas and my thought process. Hopefully I am thinking correctly now and it will help in the progress, at least will not hinder the progress.
Hurray... I did it... Happy Blogging...
