Why to blog?


I was told to write blogs many times in many ways! I always wanted to write a blog too. And I did write few on an average of one blog/year. I was never motivated to write blogs. But then, one day I had really interesting conversation with couple folks at my work place. Even that did not motivate me to write a blog, but that conversation made me ask myself lot many question about writing blog.

The answer I got back was, It was not about writing blog. It’s more about telling a story, sharing an experience and I read somewhere “if you don’t tell your story then who will?” I think, that makes a lot of sense! Ironically, I got that from a blog!

So, I decided to write this blog to talk about why to write a blog or tweet.

I know, most of us are fascinated by history. It amazes surprises and even horrifies us.  What is the biggest take from history the current generation is enjoying? “The lessons learnt”. So, how did we receive all these information? Was these things told to us by our ancestors? How? As stories? How did they communicate their experiences to us? Who told us?

What would have happened, if everybody has seized their knowledge to themself? Lemme not elaborate too much, you know what I’m talking about!

You have learnt something from the community you are in. It’s your responsibility to give it back! We living in the digital world should be very lucky that we can contribute back without much effort. And that need a not be a blog!

Communication is important. How do you communicate effectively is even more important. The best way of communication is make use of the digital world u live in. It is fine, if you write a book! It’s fine, if you click a pic! Don’t miss to tell the story! Whatever it might be, something which has a flavor is always stands out! You story has a flavor, share it! Just, casually share your thoughts “If you don’t tell your story then who will?”
