He asked me why I wasted my time in writing, editing and formatting this book or even why I waste my time on my blogs. Though I didn’t try to satisfy this question which I rated silly.

Instead I tried dwelling upon the question ‘Is blogging such a taboo?’ I asked him for a suggestion what else should I do. he suggested reluctantly may be some business which can earn you few more pennies.

I whispered may be this is my business and I am earning lot of contentment out of it which monitory development could have done eventually. I do not blog for my living (I won’t mind doing so) but what raises priority of my blogging habit.

Is it the intense desire to blab or Is it to show off in Blogosphere community?

It can be seen as a hobby or passion or some extra time of my day to sprinkle with a few more smiles.

As I grew up I witnessed lots of hobby taste switches, it started from reading comics, watching TV to playing Video Games then outdoor Sports followed by Cinema, Taekwondo, Girls then S/W Development and now Blogging I suppose.

What keeps on driving?

In my earlier job I use to waste a lot of time with my immediate boss in unnecessary meetings which seldom resulted in any constructive outcome. We wasted even more time when our super boss used to visit us from the headquarters once in month.

he always kept us indulged in waiting for some good news or reviews. The real progress which I could ever deliver was the time when I was alone doing simply work. This was not to please someone but for the sake of work.

I don’t know whether it was a pressure or job threat but I really loved my work. After all, there’s nothing better than loving your work.

I never realized when my blogging started communicating. I still remember when I initiated one of my blogs which was more a place to scribble. My achievements and frustrations and there was only one reader, only me.

Without realizing that some one else is reading it some day I got very good response. At the moment I become conscious that blogging is a bit similar to publishing newspaper. If you want your readers keep visiting you then you must stick to a rock-solid agenda.

Love of blogging is a good thing, so find a balance that works for you and be committed to creating the blog that will serve you on many levels to keep you on edge.

I will never be a proponent of astronomical number of hits, Page Ranks and SEO because daily blogging experience is a source of enjoyment and communication for me.

The parting tip for today is that keep blogging as a habit until and unless you see your readers stay glued to your articles which matches your conviction. Remember, in passion there are no impossibilities.

Over to you…
