The understatement

To start with a truth,I have never imagined myself starting to write a blog - in fact ,i have always wondered why people write blogs. I mean ,what purpose does it serve anyway?.
May be this thought arises in me because of a philosophy I tend to follow in my life, albeit unintentionally - never put in an effort in anything until you sincerely feel there is going to be some useful result. Meaning : i am inherently very lazy.
So, my fellow bloggers, forgive me for asking this question, but have you ever thought about the WHY in your blogging? If so, please enlighten me, and show me a purpose for my present endeavour.
btw if you have not yet thought any such embarrassing question, dont bother - what difference is it going to make to the world anyway.

So here i am, ready to encode a subset of my thought process into unicode. But before i do that, i prepare myself by reading others' blogs.This is one of the many practices i learnt from a close friend in college. This friend of mine, even for buying a pair of jeans, does a month of market research to learn about all the available brands. Good or bad, the practice has rubbed onto me also. Hence i started my research, as i said, by reading many blogs. Since reading them, i have found that the practice of blogging follows certain unwritten rules.
The first of them is that your blog needs a 'yo' name. I mean it's like many people name their blog using fantastic , but irrelevant sequence of words that seems to make great sense to them, but little to others.
So i too desperately needed such a name. The name of my blog,for those who dont know, has nothing to do with any of my personal theories i may post here(the M doesnt stand for my name ;) ).Actually M theory is a modern theory in physics that deals with literally everything about the universe . It actually unifies (atleast mathematically) the different versions of string theory that exist. Now if you dont know string theory, you have to brush up your physics. I mean modern physics is kind of what people call 'cool'. From the time i passed out of high school (2 years before i joined engineering), i have always been interested in modern physics. I still do read it, though less frequently, and less vigorously. I would may be post some interesting articles in this space in the future.
The second thing i found interesting in certain blogs was that no matter what people write about, may be something in college or in the workplace, they never take the names of friends. Enough clues will be given for relevant people to understand the person being talked about, but never is a name given. i too will follow that protocol. Hence, i wont name my close friend, whose recent entry into blogging kind of inspired me too to try it out. But as that friend knows, this is my initial enthusiasm in doing something new rather than spending the same time sleeping as i normally do.Guess its another form of entertainment to me. Hence this may well be my first and last post, depending on how long i can maintain this enthu.By the way,just to bend the rules, my friend's dad's name is Thomas! (gotcha dude!).
Continuing with the topic of enthusiasm in blogging, the third aspect i found (in some cases strange) in people's blogs , is the language its being written in. I mean some blogs are really good. Each sentence well thought out,perfect in sense and construction. It is what one may call 'cool' writing. I mean , just thinking of the effort I may need to put in to construct such beautiful pieces of literature makes me tired :D.
It may be true that it strikes me as an effort because i am not that good at writing. I do read a lot, and i think i am competent in speaking about a topic - but my writing skills are especially poor.May be you noticed that by now. Hence if you think you are going to find such fancy writing in this blog, no siree!! You will find plain english here. :P
Thus, there is almost no rule of writing i am going to follow in this blog, except perhaps that i will not use swear words. But i will use 'fish' a lot. This is not because i eat fish - infact i never have eaten one in my life (vegetarianism is one topic i feel strongly about. Hence i may, just may, write on this in the future) - but because it starts with 'f', has four letters, and still is not an abuse! Thanks to shahrukh i think for popularising its usage..
Before i conclude, i feel there must be 2 kinds of people now - assuming more than one has read this blog :P - those who liked it, and those who didnt.
If you didnt like this , you can go fishing, and i dont care about your catch. But if you liked it, thanks, i am pleased. Hence I may politely ask you also to go fishing. I mean i concede it is a sin wasting my time writing this, but what greater sin it is to waste time by reading something that somebody has written to waste his time in the first place.
Oh, may be i am wrong. In this troubled times, who knows whether it is your fault that you dont have a job to do.:P
So bubye, and happy time wasting.

Until i plan to write again.
