Crap

Part 1 : Refelctions

Pokes, Insinuations, Pointless Ranting, Satire and down-right Bull-Shit.

Sure as hell, they get people interested. Sure, this blog got a lot (lot lot) more hits because of this style of writing. Criticising systems, and occasionally using satire or making suggestive statements with a hope of getting a message across. Smooth. And sure, when more people read the blog, the deftly mentioned message has a greater chance of reaching out. As opposed to serious posts, that no one bothers to read.

And then i thought.

I have no sense of pride, in authoring these posts.

Sure, i feel satisfied. More readers = More popularity = A Weird sense of satisfaction.

But to what bloody end?

Any thoughtful post i wrote went commentless. To think that most readers of this blog are so-called IITians. Bloody nerds can’t even give a thought on serious issues. They will happily type out pages over pages of lewd comments against girls (anonymously) on Orkut, but very (very very) rarely have i seen them write OR comment on issues that really matter.

I feel hollow. I began blogging as a means of letting myself out. And yes, humour proved to be an addictive, and immensely satisfying outlet. But it seems, this form of writing only entertains people. There’s no shame in that, but this is not what would drive me. People can read off papparazzi sites, or watch bloopers on YouTube for their daily dose of humour.

I had an aim in life. Either to be the change that our systems of life need, or to facilitate that change.

Apparently, writing humour for a mostly-IITian-audience (the others: apologies to them) is like digging oil-wells on the clouds ['Driving into an iron- wall' might ring a bell]. Surely i’m more than this?

Popularity was never really my forte. Frankly, i’m too stupid to have the brains to be sly or play the popularity-game. And i’m not going to harbour false intentions to that end. If bullshit is the only thing that’ll make this blog popular, then i detest popularity. (Detesting bullshit, was by-default)

Full Stop.

Part 2 : Intentions

I’ve always been a solitary individual. And i know that that’s the way i shall remain. What i am, i proudly am.

But this blog-space is not something i would like to see crafted along those same lines.

I’m tired of seeing so-many solo blogs, with brilliant stuff, but trivial reader-bases. Would really like to try co-blogging.
