Its been more than 3 years since I have posted anything on my blog. I had almost forgotten of its existence. I don't write much these days...no..I don't write at all anymore. Lately, so many people I know have been asking me if I have updated my blog and have written anything. I find this very amusing. They make me sound like a celebrity writer who pens interesting stories and books every other week. Even when I used to write 3 years ago, it was just mundane ramblings expressed in mediocre words. Apprently even such posts of mine suitably entertained my loyalists (few though they are!). While that is most encouraging, I am just not motivated to write anymore.

What do I write about? Everybody these days has lots to say on everything. There are plenty of witty writers (I enjoy reading their posts), serious writers, opinionated writers,  passionate writers, focussed writers, wannabe writers and then the true writers. With so much to read, when do I write and which category do I fall into? But it's a catch 22 isn't it? Unless you start writing you won't know what kind of writer you will be but to start writing you need to know what kind of potential you have. I think when I used to write earlier I had plenty to say on everything and I expressed myself loudly for anyone willing to hear but as I have grown a bit older and hopefully wiser, I sometimes feel my view is just another noise in the general din. Now now...there is no need to analyse this more than is necessary and assume that I don't value myself and all that psychological blah blah. I am only questioning the necessity to write about everything whether people want to know or not and if I don't care about my readers, then why I am publishing my words in a public blog...why not just keep a personal diary?

It seems I have wasted 3 years (according to my readers) overthinking things and analysing more than is necessary instead of just putting pen to paper or rather finger to keypad. Writing like any other art gets better with practise I am told and right now I feel extremely rusty and out of touch. With so many people asking me to get back to writing (I hope this isn't a clever tactic to get me off their hands), I have decided to start writing again slowly at first and if I feel confident about it then maybe more regularly later on. Disclaimer: I still don't know what to write about and if i did why it should matter. Ah well...for what it's worth let me start all over again.
