Simple as it may sound, writing anything is not an easy task, and adds to that one always runs the risk of sounding seriously dumb..! One could always be judged for what one writes. Blogs may be used as references and testimonials. I wonder if our Legal System regards Blog Entries to be as proofs good enough to be reproduced in courts of law as testimonial evidence. See, I already sound so dumb...!
And expressing sarcasm using only words is one hell of a crafty affair. What if I somehow end up conveying it when not intended and vice-versa .Oh I shiver at the very of thought of this probable farce! What if I make a fool of myself? (I might have done that already!)
But since no Newspaper is offering me a job as a columnist I have no choice but to use this medium to express myself. Although the motive behind this audacious attempt is not to launch myself as some charlatan Journalist, it would serve to create a space for myself where I can vex my readership. I don’t run the risk of losing my job (As I won't be having this as one) over some trivial error, so what if I declare whatever I like, be it referring to Arunachal Pradesh as Indian territory or accuse Mr. Raj Thackeray of Gandhigiri (Unless until the Government takes notice or someone else sues me).Big Deal! Isn’t this a free country? Deviant Idiosyncrasies can have sizable influence as against conforming sensibilities. And I am not obliged to publish corrections after I commit a few stupid typos. If somehow I write well I might even get discovered by some literary pundit as Talent of the Decade or maybe of the Century...Who knows..!
So I think I might as well take my chances and roll over the blogosphere..!
