I just realized that there are so many things I want to write which never get written. And every time someone asks me a question about something I just wanted to write about last night, I keep wondering what can I do differently to make blogging work for me. I think today I cracked the puzzle. The way to make it happen is to commit early and commit often. It is buggy, it is incomplete, it doesn’t matter. Just spit it out.

When you are chatting with someone. You never say, hold that thought, let me go perfect it and we can discuss this again. And that is what makes conversation interesting allows for a natural flow. Like I have taken less than 2 minutes to type this! This is not structured message. But I have got the thought out! I can perfect it another day if it really matters

This is quite contrary to what I initially thought. Set aside 10 – 20 minutes to write once in x days. The key is to make it happen instantly that you are not setting aside time, but posting it as and when it comes to you.

If there is someone searching on the discipline of blogging, I hope this helps you.

Hi all!
I wanted to start blogging with mostly technical writeups for a long time.
I am starting today with a poem that I wrote this Sunday afternoon.
It is just a 2 minute flick and not any Shakespeare stuff but I guess worthy enough to share.

Forbidden Holy Mission

I wasted my life
in search of the cure
that heals folly
to turns back the hearts of young
to walk the way of the wise.

I seeketh for
the fountain of knowledge
to lead those in darkness
to the shadow of understanding

It would have been easier to walk
across the ends of the earth.
than fulfill this holy mission.

There was a lesson
I should have learned.
What is crooked cannot be straightened
and a dog returns to its vomit.

A chase after the wind
and still not tired.
Lost time and strength
yet pursued with hope.

I should have known
I was the fool
who didn’t learn my lesson

I write this
to remember the evil
before I change my mind
to take on the mission

To not be a fool
to know the laws of the universe
a wise and a prudent saying
that it is not for man
to make the crooked straight.
