And I post again

It's been a really long time since I posted something. And it's not as if I was too busy or out of topics...sheer boredom. And yet that urge to write has emerged again. The reason being that I have enjoyed reading lots of posts recently. Irony is that it was again boredom that drove me towards it.
I haven't had a chance to catch up a good book in a long time. I think the last book that enjoyed a lot was Motorcycle diaries. After that there have been attempts to find such a book, sometimes fiction...that I did finish but didn't enjoy, some non-fiction that I was enjoying but couldn't finish as they grew a little heavy on me. Whatever the reason but basically I was missing quality reading. And though most people wouldn't associate blogs with serious writing neither do I claim that they are a must for a literature student but somehow I have always enjoyed them.
And so I decided to revisit the blogs of my friends that I generally enjoy reading. Unfortunately I haven't yet added the list of blogs that I follow so that I get automatic updates whenever a new post is added. And I was truly disappointed to see no updates too. And first thing that struck me was ,"Must be very busy." And there in this list of the blogs that my friend followed, featured my blog , very low on the list though. And there on the list, were some really interesting blog titles. And soon I was lost in the maze of blogs of friends of friends. For a second I did wonder whether it was alright to read blogs of complete strangers. I know what I blog are my personal thoughts that I don't mind sharing. But could I be so sure about others. But as I started reading them, these concerns slowly started disappearing. Some due to open acknowldgement or request of bloggers that encouraged friends of friends to read their posts. And some, because I could associate with the other bloggers so well and the things that they had written about. I had never thought there were so many people out there who had similar idiosyncracies as mine or who made confessions about their day to day follies on their blogs and of course those who had to taken up blogging coz they wanted to become a writer some day (like me :)
And the next thing I knew was that I had reached out for creating a new post. As I finish writing what I have in mind, I feel the regret of not having posted for so long. I feel so good pouring out these thoughts even though they may not mean much to anybody. So a small message to all the people who haven't blogged in a long time: Do post, u r missing something that u don't know u r missing.
I still don't know whether it is okay to read blogs of friends of friends. Hope your friends don't mind.
