His main interest was in trying to gauge the effort that it takes to maintain a blog - how much time one needs to devote to it and if possible understand how I go about selecting the topics that I write about.
But before I could puff up my chest and soar any higher, thinking of the many readers who would be equally disappointed and who were eagerly waiting for my next post, he brought me down back to earth quite quickly. My friend seemed unusually disappointed though, at hearing this. I strongly believe in the sentiment expressed by Fitzgerald, I believe it was, who said, "You don't write because you want to say something, you write because you have something to say". And when you don't have anything to say, then I guess it goes without saying that it is better you don't say anything! Well I must admit, there is probably an element of laziness at play here, but at the heart of it, I guess the answer is simple enough - I just did not have anything much to say. "Then what happened? Why such a long gap?" - he wouldn't let me off so easily. I am not any busier than when I was a year ago and I have also not made any conscious decision to stop writing. "I don't see any more posts or is it because you are too busy?"
Nine months is indeed a long gap, especially when you consider the fact that I used to post on average at least one post a month for the past couple of years.Ī close friend, who had also noticed this, asked me the other day if I had stopped writing. If you have been following this blog, you may have noticed that I have not posted anything here for a long while - for almost nine months now (ignoring the couple of pieces written by Thambu that I had put up in between).
