Why I am Blogging ...

It was a combination of a multitude of factors; all of them struck me at the exact same time, which was a couple of minutes ago! Hence, this impulsive decision of mine to start blogging.
Here are some of four of those tumultuous reasons why I have started blogging:

1.Vivek & Sariel : Vivek is a friend of mine from college, who is into blogging pretty big time and having checked out his blogs I was quite inspired to start blogging myself. However, more than Vivek its been this crazy character called Sariel, Sariel Har Peled, to be precise, who has inspired me. Sariel is this absolutely crazy visiting professor of mine who comes from the sacred (or cursed?) land of Israel. He is a plump, tall, balding, young, almost blind, colourblind, blind, geeky, goofy, dumb, intelligent and and, all in all, entertaining specimen of the cursed race of homo-sapiens. I have, only once, had the honour of attending his lectures and the lecture so amused (and interested) me that I checked his site out immediately after the lecture. This is the URL to his site:

Check out his blogs, and don't tell me that if you're not a blogger, they didn't inspire you to blog!

2.Orkut : If Orkut were a human person, I would have killed it a million times over. Not just for wasting countless hours of my day, but for ruining countless lives around the world. Unfortunately, Orkut is a social networking software on the web, and I am no hacker, which is why I can do no harm to it, much as I desperately want to. So I figured out that rather than spend 27 hours a day on Orkut and wasting my life, I might as well waste 26 hours a day on something that is a bit more productive: blogging!

3.Improving my vocabulary : It will be my sincere endeavour from this blog onwards, to look for synonyms for each and every word that I use in my blogs, on Theasaurus.com, and use newly the learned synonyms in their place! This I feel will improve my vocabulary tenfold, and with enough time, and, of course, practice will turn me into one of those big-weird-fancy-word-which-you-just-can't-understand-using-people with superior airs about them and who are such big pricks. I know using strange, out of the world sounding words in my blogs, will make you think I am a prick , but neither I , nor you, give a flying f*** about that, right?

4. Distortionare '07 : Distortionare, is this annual music festival in my college, IIT Delhi, where all the musicians of IIT Delhi get together and jam and perform songs on a big stage with a huge audience. This time all the people at IIT wanted me to drum for them in Distortionare '07, yesterday, and as a result I ended up drumming for 17 different songs in genres varying from classic rock to progressive to nu-metal to alternative to heavy-metal! By the end of the gig I as almost dead. When I woke up this morning (afternoon rather), with all my joints and bones paining with all the drumming I did last night, I just suddenly decided : "Damn enough of music now; Lets try something else." Damn random, for a reason for me to start blogging, I know, but that's just it !


So my dear blogging brothers, sisters and potential life partners, please welcome your latest stud onboard! I will be cruel, I will be boring, I will be hilarious, I will be melancholic, I will be everything ...
... but I still feel you bloggers are pathetic losers with nothing better in life to do!!!
