I'm blogging too!

Blogs usually bore me to death. Most blogs are a display of ‘grandiloquence’ starting right from their titles (Incoherent Confluence, Myriad Musings etc. ...all of which could easily be replaced by: Yawn!), and are usually too long or uninteresting to hold one’s attention. However, realising the social need for having one’s own blog, I have decided to give it a shot anyway. Now since most blogs have only one reader, the blogger himself, I have decided to lower the standards of this blog to suit that reader. I shall keep it short and say not more than seven things at a time.


Seven Reasons Why I Started This Blog

  1. My marketing professor likened me to P.G. Wodehouse after I wrote a 43 words long sentence for his report which didn’t make any sense whatsoever.

  2. I have found a collection of old MAD magazines from where I can lift jokes for this blog.

  3. To demonstrate my creativity. (Please notice the seven exclamation marks after ‘Seven Things’)

  4. To recycle my old jokes and ideas into a new format. (Be patient! The six-pack-abs jokes will come in a few days)

  5. To replace ‘Blood Donation’ from my hobbies, on my resume, with ‘Writing’. (I just realised that blood donation is a little painful and a little stupid to write off as a hobby.)

  6. To have something to do online other than ‘liking’ people’s Farmville stories on Facebook.

  7. I actually wanted to make it 10 things, but can’t think of 3 more reasons.

  1. It's awesome man. It was only natural that you started a blog! As you've pretty much said, it's quite a rehash but that gives the same feeling as looking at old snaps.
    I don't want to start a blog of my own. Can I have a guest column :-D I'll get more readers that way.
    PS- I would like to see that 43word sentence.
