"Conversation. What is it? A Mystery! It's the art of never seeming bored, of touching everything with interest, of pleasing with trifles, of being fascinating with nothing at all. How do we define this lively darting about with words, of hitting them back and forth, this sort of brief smile of ideas which should be conversation?" Guy de Maupassant

Three months of blogging

Its been three months since i started this blog.  

6 months ago i had not heard of a weblog.  But as i interacted with people all over the world through some online communities, i was really curious and started reading them.  This curiousity turned into wonder and the desire to set up a blog. 

A little over 3 months ago i learnt of  Blogger and Radio and MT.  And selected Radio on the recommendation of a few friends who are also bloggers.  3 months ago i had never really 'seen' macros and HTML and RSS. 

Its been an interesting 3 months.  The process of blogging and the benefits have been just wonderful.  I'm not paralysed anymore by technology, i've made some really interesting and useful connections, have had amazing exchanges and conversations with people all over the world.  Most of all,  i feel i have learnt more than i would have anywhere else - my horizons have widened tremendously both in terms of my personal life and professional life.   My professional interests and efforts are changing - i see old roadmaps with new eyes, and many completely new landscapes.  And tremendous business opportunities opening up as a result of studying and observing this phenomenon, and living this experience. 

Not to mention the encouragement from so many many people all over the world that do wonders for the ego :).  And on a fun note - my blogshare shows a  2162.32% hike in net worth in the last month ! 

Today i see blogging as a piece of theatre. Where the act of blogging is like staging a show, where the blogger is producer, director, originator and writer of script, stage manager, lights and camera crew, all rolled in one.  Its the players and the audience improvising - like a jazz composition, each note, each instrument, each little chord complementing the other, taking it to new levels - that makes the production so rewarding.
