Well, I started blogging early this summer because I HAD to in order to get an A in my class. I was introduced to blogs long long ago "when the world was young" (my HOD used to love this phrase!). Yet I shunned the idea of blogging. "Its like a diary where you write what you feel" my friends used to insist. Yet I smiled and said I prefer writing in my diary than posting it up here for the world to see. Slowly time passed and I decided to pursue my higher studies and entered the United States of America to make myself a part of the niche area of academics - Advertising. So first class in summer I am introduced to blogs - How blogs form a part of not only your personal life but also in the business world. Social Networking Sites and Blogs, an integral part of Web 2.0, where we all "network" and share our "interests" are not personal sites anymore. They are platforms to connect Globally with people and business. So I learnt the concept and the importance of blogs, yet decided to stick to it only with my academics and did not really pay any attention to it. Soon I started working with a professor of mine on some teaching guides and the first topic I had to research on was - Importance of Blogs in Advertising! So i do a research come up with a fine report and a colorful presentation and he is all praises for me. Yet, I did not try my hand at blogging. When I wanted to apply for some jobs on campus and for internships, I contacted a senior who said, "Hey, just throw out your site you know...your blog or something so they could find out more about you...It would be great if you had your works (designs, photographs, may be some research and insights?) up there! It would be perfect!" I stammered to say - Great Idea! And the heights of it all, that also did not probe me to start blogging! I wonder myself, what made me blog today..what pushed me to type blogger.com on my window and sign up, not for academics but just for myself...I really do not have an answer, but all i can say is that i enjoy writing and I have procrastinated enough to start a blog...So here goes..Words, Thoughts and Opinions from the Madras Girl!
P.S. Now I can throw out my Blog...I joined the league ;) Finally!
