blogging.

kay i've always said that i never saw the point in keeping a blog... i mean, do you really need to put up all you experience, think and feel on the world wide web for everyone to see? and most of the blogs that i've seen start up seem to have died, gone into a coma indefinitely, or tend to fall asleep for long periods of time. there's really nothing wrong with any of the above, by the way, it's just that most of the time i feel that if you know something's not gonna go anywhere, why start it in the first place? but that of course is debatable in itself.

i see my blog dying a peaceful death in the not-too-far-off future, to be honest. i'll probably get too lazy to update really quickly, cos i tend to prefer to store my memories in my mind - in my mind where some (or rather, a lot of) things can be forgotten willingly or otherwise, where i can change my mind without being reminded of what i used to think in black and white, where other people can't see. not everything in life can or should be remembered.

and yet, here i am, writing my first ever "real" post on my first and probably last blog. why? mainly because of the trip that i took to kolkata a while back.. i had this overwhelming urge to update my nearest and dearest on what i was doing and what i was experiencing, and this urge was expressed in insanely long emails that i clogged their inboxes with. one of them called them " blog-mails" and told me that i should just start up a blog to put everything on there (cos then maybe they wouldn't have to deal with the guilt of deleting-without-reading my mails and not replying =P), but me being the bum/noob that i was/am/always will be didn't. to cut the long story short she set up a blog for me that i only started working on when i got back. go figure.

so i thought, maybe i'll just type out my parts of what i've written in my journal that i kept in kolkata, cos it really was an amazing experience that i wanna share. but.. i think that moment has passed. now my main motivation for this blog is that i'll be leaving for america soon in an all too short time... so to all you people with the clogged inboxes, here's your relief!

see even now, re-reading my post, it sounds all rambly and pointless. like did i really have to explain why i'm starting up a blog?

but hey, it's a start right? here goes nothing =)

breathe.

cause you can't jump the track
we're like cars on a cable
and life's like an hourglass glued to the table
no one can find the rewind button, girl
so cradle your head in your hands
and breathe, just breathe.
