The Problem with Blogging

I hardly have anything to post these days as is quite evident. It’s not that there’s nothing to write about, or neither am I running out of inspiration as some people loved to say, nor not having the time. I have time to write and have stuffs I wanted to write about, but the only thing is, and to be very honest, that I am too lazy to begin with.

It is not that difficult to get something worth a post. Most of my post were written as a message in my mobile phone and saved as ‘draft’ until I got the time to put them in my computer, then I put those pieces of thought together.

But the problem is when you want that post to be of some substance. If I want to write about the inanities of my daily life, I could simply use it as a diary, but my blog definitely is not a diary. But again the brand new diary I gifted myself for New Year is still empty and stands testimony against any excuses that I may have.

There are times when I really am busy and got no time to write, say like last November, I posted a short story that I broke into two pieces. I have been sitting over that story for over two years until I ran out of any thing worth posting which forced me to hastily finish and post it.

The story was raw and unpolished, but I still think it manage to put forth the issue that I had in mind. I always wanted to write something about my family, especially my mother after we all left home, so it was loosely based on our life.

In a way I am glad that I am done with that story, and some part of me wished that something compel me to finish off the many other unfinished writings I have been sitting over for many years.

I have many notepad files containing small piece of thoughts. Some are full length article containing many paragraphs that have to be put together. Some have just the introductory part with/and/or the concluding part. But since I got enough to post for this time, it seems like I’m going to continue sitting over them.

See, it’s not that difficult….

India Inc wants Gujarat Monster as PM

When the leaders of India biggest business houses stood-up to support Narendra Modi as the future Prime Minister of secular India, it sent shockwaves across the minority communities living in India. It just amazes me how short-lived our memories are!


Who can ever forget the merciless massacre of Muslims in Godhra and the persecution of Christians in Dang? If the name Narendra Modi rang a bell, it is because his name is identical with the many innocent bloods shed in Gujarat. If Gujarat prospers, it got nothing to do with him but the people of Gujarat. Narendra Modi only stained the name of Gujarat and India.


But what is more shocking is that respectable people like Tata, Mittal and the Ambanis wanted him to lead the country. Does this mean those Industrialists will support and/or do anything that will only further their interest (and that interest is nothing but profit) without giving any importance to the peace and harmony of India?


The whole thing reminds me of what I once read in the net about how the German Industrialists praised Hitler and his regime before he showed his true colour. Narendra Modi had already showed his true colour, so those Industrialists knew what they were talking about and can be taken as a legitimate threat.


Looking at the present political scenario, it is very unlikely that the BJP will put him up as their Prime Ministerial candidate for the 2009 election, but it is inevitable in 2014 if the BJP happened to lose the next election.


But by proposing the Monster of Gujarat as the Prime Minister of India, India Inc is threatening the minority communities of India, and if you happened to be a minority, be very threatened for that Monster could be your Prime Minister if those peoples with vested interests have their way.
