300.

 At half past 12 today, I had an abrupt urge to put pen to paper and here it is. Well, I thought, I can update my blog, by updating about my blog.

This is my 300^Th post in my blog. Wow! Have I written so much? Or why did I write so much? What was it that was driving me to write so much? With an eye for detail, I have been writing for the past 3 years and that makes it almost 8 posts a month. In fact, money was the only motive behind which I started this initially. I went on to make close to $170 in the first 4-5 months, during my last year in the college. For making this odd amount, I used to spend one hour every night looking out for opportunities. After the first 5 months, I thought it was not really worth it. There were a very few opportunities in the first half of 2008 and then the global economic recession bought in a very few advertisers who wanted to splash money. Big Bang Boom! I actually thought, I shall put up my own website for writing but, then I decided, it might not be worth the shot as blog spot looked more credible and appealing. 

Slowly, I started updating my blog, every month with my notes, thoughts and interpretation of the real and virtual world from sports to politics to movie reviews to poems. There was no particular rationale behind the choice of the topics, but still somehow, I loved writing and wrote then and there. All I can say is, I am no Paul Krugman, but still, I have a good number of people coming over to my site every week. That makes it really cool. Overall, the experience till now has been nice. Owning a blog is nothing at all. You go onto a blog spot or a word-press and start blogging. That's it. It is not like owning a Ferrari, Bentley or any other SUV. But still a blog is a blog.
