Another book that draws me!!

It has been interesting to look back and see the journey of my blogging, the last many months.

One series of blogs after another – it all started with the blogs on ‘The Value of Values’ written by Pujya Swami Dayananda Saraswati which were explained in Chapter 13 of the Bhagavad Gita; and then came the chapters on Cho Ramaswamy’s ‘The Ramayana’ which drew its story from Valimiki Ramayana, Kamba Ramayana and Tulsi Das Ramayana. The last series of blogs were on ‘Talks on Emotional Maturity’ by Pujya Swami Dayananda Saraswati.

Each series has made me understand that there is so much to know, to grow :-).

The more I write, the more I want to write. I logged into my blog page to write and there was this dialogue that was being spoken within myself – between me and me. For the sake of this blog, let’s keep it as a dialogue between Me 1 and Me 2..

Me 1 – Hmmmn!! One more series of blogs?

Me 2 – I don’t know whether it will be a series or just one blog or a few of them..

Me 1 – By the way, why are you writing these series of blogs that has its foundation set on books?

Me 2 – Nice question and honestly I am not sure. Initially I thought I love writing and write well (or so I think).. then I thought that these books read so well and I was able to draw parallels to real life; so it would be good to pen them as blogs.. then I thought people who read it would also benefit..

Me 1 – You have readers?

Me 2 – I thought so in the beginning but now I am not sure.

Me 1 – But why?

Me 2 – Why I am not sure? Because I barely see people who know about my blogging or those who receive the blog intimation or those to whom I have shared by blog url, talking about my blogs to me. There could be a person or two or few who are perhaps reading my blogs.. Of course, everyone can also comment on the blogs or share their thoughts and experiences related to the blog, but..

Me 1 – So you think they are not reading and hence perhaps not commenting also? Well, you may be right. So why are you writing?

Me 2 – Another good question!! Hmmn, why am I writing? I am writing because I feel good when I write.. I am writing because it helps me think and internalize when I write.. I am writing because it seems to be a catharsis to me.. I am writing because I think there is a purpose to it..

Me 1- So you are writing because you are benefiting more than anyone else?

Me 2 – You can’t be more brutally honest than this, can you? Well, put that way I suppose my answer is a yes.

Me 1 – So does it matter then if anyone reads your blogs or comments on them?

Me 2 – Are you saying that I should just keep writing no matter who reads or comments, because I ma benefiting more?

Me 1 – You said it, I didn’t 🙂

My eyes and thoughts went to the book that drew my attention, and the dialogue came to a grinding halt. Thank god, before I face tough questions from myself to myself..

For all the reasons that I am writing for, I am waiting to write the next blog (series?) set its foundation on the book that certainly has all my attention 🙂
