Yesterday was my "water-my-plants" day (I do it every alternate day). I quite enjoy doing it, watching all the plants grow, and also all the creepy-crawlies that the earth is home to!
So was in a pretty good mood. I had just read Vrij's comment on my other blog saying that he really liked my posts. This made me VERY happy. Like totally on top of the world. All was right in my life at that moment. And I realized that blogging makes me feel good. I get to share my thoughts with others, get to know everyone else's thoughts and make such good friends. So then, I thought back to how did I even start to blog?
I was introduced to this world by Tanu. She and I have a common friend, who introduced us through orkut. I totally got hooked on to her blogs. I felt maybe I can have one too, but was not sure what to write. Now Tanu is very smart, and her posts are deep and meaningful, she writes poetry some times, and fun stuff some times. I felt that I can't write like this. So was a bit intimidated. Her pics blog did inspire me to start my photoblog. I didn't have any visitors there though :(
From Tanu's world, I got introduced to the really sweet and lovable Anjuli
Her blog was SO lively! And FUN! Totally loved it. Again, I felt like writing. But she was so cute and sweet and fun! I didn't have so many things to write about. I continued to visit her everyday.
Through comments on Anjuli's blog, I met this monkey, Veens! :) Now this character was totally hilarious :) The girl had me in splits! Then she posted a tag, 10 things I hate about men.
I took it up, put it up on my pic blog. And then I just started writing more and more stuff that didn't belong in the pic blog. And so was born this one that you're reading :)
There's been no looking back since then! I have so many friends here, its hard to remember the days when I was not part of this world!
So my chain was
Tanu -> Anjuli -> Veens
Whats yours?

I started my blog quite accidentally
reading one guy memphis blog way back in 2006..
then I stopped..and designed my website...and then I thot why to pay hefty wen I canactually design a good blog..so I left orkut and started blogging...
ab kaha kab kisse mila yeh I forgot :P
anjuli di ko shayad ek gana chaiye tha..so unhone mail kiya tha..
par best blogmate meri toh cindy bhindy hai..she jus lift up my spirits aur hum dono ek hi tarah sochte hai ..
i don't know.... it was loooooooong time back...
Don't think I was reading any blogs or orkutting when i started writing... it all started together...
Well babes I used to blog about 4 years ago at that time my blog was more of my love life blog as i was so much in love at that time i was inspired by my ex now as he used to blog....then once i was in syd i never got the time...
off late just about March I decided to blog again....cos i felt i need to have one.
I actuallt started my blof just for myself .....n eventually i started getting comments n i have now made good friends here...
I started blogging when i had nothing to do in my company. One of my friend introduced me saying that we can earn money by writing....But money was never my intention behind writing...So it all started in April 2006 an its going great till now.....
Now i enjoyed this mode of freedom of self expression...
Smiles :)
I?
Woo..thats like I got started almost without any particular person/think persuading me too!
Its nt even total 4months since m blogging..but there ain't any such story :D
Btw haven't seen you at my blog since long..nor do I see myself in your blogroll.(even when i have you blogrolled)..and..:(
Blogging is surely a nice way of life.Thanks to good old Google! :)
I started blogging coz i was asked to put down... but then i quit it, restarted it coz i wanted to write and ease down the pain but again i stopped, but then somehow i visited few ppl and loved what they wrote!!!
Have been to almost thousands of diff blog but few find a place in my blogroll, no pressure, no force... sheer love for them and the respect to wat they write!! :)
I dont know abt others but i met u on Veens and remember how i teased u tat day... :D

aaaha.... me and my best friend started to blog together... we actually saw a blog done by a bangalore military school student.... for the school..and in he same way we wanted to do for our school...but interest died off cause we were censring the masti studfff and just singing gun gans of the school.. then we both started our lifelogs as u can call them...he left midway...i got hooked...and then oone fine day... the readers came
intersting..
I think i started to blog last year...and my last post is my 100th...do come and read it..there is smg for you there which many ppl liked...:)
my chain was after making the blog - I searched in the city who else blogs...
came across ashu first and from hers (she was a hardcore blogger) got many links...
besides that found preethi who is still on the blogroll but rarely writes...these two chains set off where I met pri, cindy...the monkey veens...and later ankur
i think i got your id thru anjuli who I checked for bombay bloggers..
intersting idea for a post

@prashant, but how did you get introduced to blogging?
@mia, woh "yeh meri life hai" is your first blog kya?
@pacifier, oh yeah, i guess the money comes in through adsense or something?

@sameera, I agree :)
@ankur,
**I started blogging coz i was asked to put down**
you were asked to put down what?
oh yeah, I remember meeting you on Veens' space, and wondering whats wrong with this ghanchakkar :)
@samby, love your life logs!
@ceedy, mein joyi taari 100th post. neat :) thanks for sharing your chain!
@gunj, yeah, simple as that :)
@ella, been blogging for a long time, na? does your bf blog too?
Well.. I started blogging about three years ago.. was part of the small but happening blog community at Indiatimes o3 (so was chakoli). I donno what got me started.. I guess I always preferred to be private and blogs gave me a way I can be open to others. But it was a great experience. Then there was trouble in o3 with spammers, server down and also general harakiri within the community and one by one people started moving off and heading to other places.. some ditched blogging altogether while some moved to blogspot.. like me. There are a few in my blogroll from that community.
Even during my o3 days, I used to visit a few blogs on blogspot/wordpress.. basically known people's blogs. Chandni's was one of them. And I started off reading people on her bloglist and slowly but surely, my blogroll expanded to where it is now and I add atleast one blog to the list every week :)
Good for you!
I have no chain.
Just started blogging out of boredom. Had no readers for quite some time and then I don't know how they started pouring in and life has never been the same since then.
Yeah...started around december 2005. Keshi - Ghost Particle are the oldest pals on blogdom. Its been a great journey. Wow ! Like Ceedy said, post k liye badhiya idea hai..
He doesnt blog yaar.
Blogging chodho use books mein bhi door door tak interest nahi hai...when I tell him read smth he will take out hif office books and start reading them....
**you were asked to put down what?

Coincidentally, I too have got most of my friends here through Anjuli's blog (I am sure she doesnt know this). I had hit upon her blog through a common friend's blog ... and did comment on a few posts of hers ... from her blogroll i got to know Keshi, and gradually kp, ceedy, solitaire, mez and others ...
So, I too am thankful to Anjuli ... maybe you can help me to convey this thanks to her.
