Anyone remember this song from the 70's, a popular one called "Video Killed the Radio Star"? This was also the very first music video to be played when MTV was launched. How apt or how ironic, considering how important music videos would become towards the success of a song. Surely the radio star did not die, just that it took a back seat, but it is still very much alive.
I remember the enthusiasm with which I started blogging. I had so much to say and so much to express. There were a lot of stories from my past which were wort sharing. Some were worth laughing about and some were worth pondering over. I have now reached a point where I feel I have said it all, or maybe I cant think of anything more to blog about. NO, this is NOT a goodbye post and my blog is not shutting down, but I cant help but hold myself responsible for allowing it to take the backseat.
Enter Facebook, and there is no denying that it has changed the way people communicate. My stories are now on Facebook and not on the blog. My feelings, moods and emotions are also on Facebook. My photos, trip reports are there for all to see on Facebook. Lets face it, when I want to show off something or get a response, I would rather do it on a forum that has 400+ members as opposed to 40. Well, do I even have 10 people who visit this page?
It's a phase. It was blogger yesterday and today it's Facebook. Who knows what it will be tomorrow. No I am not going to abandon the blog. It has indeed taken a backseat, but it is still special in so many ways. So it shall remain. Happy Blogging.
