A whole new world of experiences has just opened up for me, not just through blogging but through the general experience of networking through the Internet. I have no doubts about how wonderful all this is, but I see myself spending more time doing this than what would qualify as work! That, for me, is an alarming thought. Efficiency at work has been my motto for a while now. I divide my time into distinct zones of work and leisure. So when I find myself going from place to newer place on the Internet, writing posts in all sorts of networks, mostly having fun, and then suddenly realising that it has been a few hours, it is nothing short of shocking. Intellectual stimulation, networking for business, we all need to do stuff other than work- are excuses that sound a bit weak considering that most of the time, all of us are on a tight leash as far as deadlines are concerned. Even so, the decision at my end is that I shall see how far this goes for a period of a month. Then, I will re-evaluate and decide on my future as a blogger and Intenet junky.

I came upon the concept of blogging very recently. I am highly proficient at the non-Internet or conversational form of it, and have often been accused of saying too much and expressing my opinions a bit too freely! Needless to say, blogging got me very excited. But why actually am I doing this?
The usual reasons- to express myself, because everyone else is, it's fun....... It is also a great way of discovering myself, something a narcissistic person like me can do full-time.
It is also, contrary to the impression of myself I have given earlier, a way of shedding my inhibitions. Hey, even the best of us have some!
So here I am, out there. As naked as I care to be in public.
Talk to me, write to me, and above all, take me seriously. Because I am not just doing this for fun, it is hopefully going to be much more than that.
