1. Because I have to write. Because I need to think in words, and not just images. Because I love it when I write something beautiful (yupp, call it what you want, even naivety, but I do like reading most of the stuff Iv written in the past) Because I love arranging words in my own order. And because Im better off writing considering that these days, just opening my mouth to speak spells as disaster, with all the ways I manage to miscommunicate my poor innocent thoughts. Now, if you ask me whether this is the order I love arranging words into, well, lets think of it as an exception, though it does make sense to me.
2. Because words, when written are not arrows which cannot be taken back. You can edit it, beautify it, then publish, and even better, withdraw it, if you feel you were out of your mind when you wrote it.
3. Because on my blog, I can write what I want to write, rather than what someone else wants to read. Of course, I do end up writing sane stuff, and sometimes saner stuff, but the knowledge that you can!
4. Because blogs, to me represents one of the last remnants of an ideal world. Where everybody has their own free space, and in abundance. Where life is not a zero sum game. Where I dont have to trample my brothers aspirations to reach my destination. Where to be recognised, nobody else has to be ignored
5. And finally, because my best friends mails either start with or end with "Where IS blog post?" or "I want blog post!" Say what...

if someone had tagged me on this, i would've written something like this. heck, i can even imagine myself arranging my words in this order
Hi Rama,
Nice of you to step by and actually leave a comment. Ya, pretty much all of us have th same reasons...
Good list -- and I agree with you that in our respective blogs, we get to say whatever the hell we want. That's the reason why I blog. Because I'm a self-absorbed and opinionated biatch ;)

Why wouldn't I paint my face black? Let's see ...hmmm... let's see, yup - here it is! Coz I have already painted it black so many times, my face just can't take another coat! Har de har har! Rama would agree :)
well jim, we as asians don't have much of a choice, do we?
black is beautiful, so i would. and hence, this question doesn't apply to me
I dont like the smell of the paint!!!
..hey that tag has been travelling like fire i ve noticed!!!
and nice to know u r so passionate about writing!
#Princess,
no doubt, these, I guess, are the main reasons why people write. But just imagine a world without blogs. Like it used to be. So much of talent wasted. Because its simply not the same thing when you write in your Diary hoping that someday youll become famous enough for some publisher to take interst :) and sure enough, th chances are you wont be

I was almost regretting not coming up with a better tag. and was too lazy to change it. hehe
#standbymind
yeah I am passionate. Atleast i think i am. that said, the last two eweeks I never missed even wanting to write. Yeah sometimes, its better i dont venture to convert thoughts into words. But when i can do justice to it, i love it
nice post... liked it..... and black is a lovely color... full of mystery :)
Come to think of it, 5 reasons aren't enough to sum up why we all blog. Now that you've written 5 of yours, I think those are also some of the reasons why I blog!
And as for the 'you're tagged bit' - I wouldn't want my face to be painted black because I want to be me!
