Yeah! This was the topic of discussion this week in Barkha Dutt's show "We,The People".
People expressed various opinions on the topic.Some said that blogs have given them the freedom to express their opinions on a global platform and get feedbacks from people.How could we ever forget how blogs helped us get an insight into what was happening in Myanamar and more recently,in Pakistan!
For some it was a means of expressing their long bottled desire of writing something.While earlier,unless you were a really talented writer,you had to wait for a publisher to approve your work and bring it out in the market and then only you could find out what others thought about your work! Now,it's just a matter of few seconds before people can leave in comments in ur blog about your work.
While there were other people who quite did not agree w/ the idea of sharing their personal life with unknown people[me being one of them!]
Some did express concerns about the lack of regulations in a blog.They felt there should have been more safety measures to regulate the blog.Well,I won't be able to elaborate this point coz just then there was a power cut! (My Bihar,ofcourse!)
I feel,for me blogs have been a wonderful means of discovering myself.I started writing blogs when I was into a very difficult phase of my life and blog became an easy medium of venting out all my feelings.
I had always known I could write,but I had no way knowing how good or how bad! Blogging gave me an idea about this! Moreover,I had never known I could ever write a poem in English.But I suddenly found myself trying out new things.
Today,if I believe in the power of my Pen (how cliched!),I owe it to my Blog!
Thank You!
