Day21-Why Blogging?



My colleague asked me the reason behind this blog. Several reasons ...

First reason is INTROSPECTION:-. I have the habit of looking into myself everyday before sleep, good-bad and ugly of myself. What went well, what went wrong and where I could have been better…. Though I will be discussing with myself before I sleep, but I forget most of the things very soon. Also my school teacher many times told that "writing once is equal to reading 20 times", so writing will help me to change myself faster than reading to myself. I do lot of insane things everyday, trying different options at work rather than following existing processes, getting friends in this process even enemies too, going through lots of experiences everyday, I want me to be the first critic to myself, apologize next day if I owe one, evolve as the time progress.... this can be achieved by putting down everything into words with honesty, rarely diplomatic.

More time to myself: One of my manager told that "Anil, I want to retire at the age of 48" , when I asked the reason he said "My time is not mine now, always have to report to someone and act according to manager's wishes, so I want to retire early", another manager mailed me that "Anil, life seems to be story of work only". By writing blog, I am reporting to myself at the end of the day and changing the story of work to story of myself. My second better half of the day starting after work now a days....

Be different: I cannot write the same bored stuff again and again everyday, what ever I write should look different to me atleast, for that I have to improve myself everyday to be better.

Thankful to others: Lot of people knowingly or unknowingly helping to improve myself in many ways. This is the place for me to thank before I forget.
Stretching myself: I am not using any of the office time to write blog, I start blog everyday after 10 PM.I used to sleep at 10PM for 6 to 7 hours, now I will be sleeping for 5 - 6 hours or even lesser bcoz of this blog...I may live for another 30 years, I decided to reduce my sleep with proper care so that I can live and enjoy more time. Sleeping is definitely not living...

Update to known people: All my friends, colleagues and well wishers are living across different geographies, rather then sending mails once in quarter its an opportunity for me to give daily update about myself who is escaping from my torture. And its an opportunity for me to take constant feedback and slaps.
Autobiography: It might be easy for me to collate information if I want to write auto biography. Looking over confident, its only confidence.
Many more selfish reasons...............
Coming to today, my teammate who is reporting to me told that "Anil, you improved a lot today"....means I might have tortured him till yesterday :-),I am happy he is having freedom to talk anything with me.... evening was too fun, one of my friend who is married now explaining his love story today evening, when he inform to his parents about his love they told that "Ok, we will give you house keys and go away, you and that girl stay in this house"......, evening time spent with my stupid questions and his funny answers. Parents become villains if lovers don't know how to handle parents. May be saying is easy..........,it was evening with lot of glory, Thanked my friend who gave me company. My BTech classmate Chakri mailed to my batch yahoo group about his marriage, I send reply from my iphone to Chakri only but unfortunately mail reached everyone in the group with signature as "Sent from iphone", others may misinterpret that I am doing showoff, send an apology note immediately to all, removed signature from phone.
Have to read some project related stuff before I sleep.
