Blog Silence

It’s been a while (is 6 days “a while” in the blogosphere? I dunno.) since I blogged (not that I do it an awful lot anyway), the reason being a lack of few things – mood, time, and blog-worthy material, in that order. Normally, a daily visit to the Tabloid of India’s website should throw something good enough to rant about, but even they have nothing interesting these days (apart from Shakti Kapoor finding himself in a mess, but we knew about all that already, didn’t we?). Next, it could have been about cricket, but then my good friend Gaurav writes enough about it (that I agree with) already. That along with Cricinfo, leaves precious little stuff related to cricket to blog about, although that’s hardly an exhaustive list of topics on my radar.

Then, there’s the question of time – I hardly have any of that these days. You know you have been doing entirely too much coding when, while starting off a mail with the customary “Hi foobar”, you type f and hit Ctrl+Space, expecting the mail client to auto-complete the addressee’s name.

About the mood – well, I guess I better not bore anyone with that crap.

Which then, leads me to a general musing… what is it that interests bloggers most generally, and do they make a conscious decision about how their blog turns out eventually, especially, in a one-blog-fits-all kind of situation? That was the very question on my mind when I started this thing, and now I am faced with it again! It might be a good exercise though – analyzing what people blog about, but I’ll do that one fine day when I have loads of free time. Till then, I am back to coding…
