Geek Chics

We have always talked about the divide between men and women. It's a man's world...There is not a single woman who doesn't agree with the above statement. But in a teens world, there are a few exceptions. I read about one such exception some time back. An article in new york times claims that among the youngest internet users, the primary creaters of web content are teenage girls and not boys. Odd statistics when in an adult world, number of male bloggers exceed the female ones by a fair margin. Its claim is well founded given the fact younger boys find it increasingly difficult to spend considerable amount of time and energy in front of the computer for doing something creative, other than post videos and pics of their not so illustrious night outs. I think this article calls on the moral obligation of boys to put in that extra effort to provide some competition to the ladies. Its not that I'm a male chauvinist, but competition is healthy for both parties. After all, its always ladies first....but we are just behind ya.....

So it begins.....

"What da hell is blogging?" This is a question that a not-so-knowledgeable friend of mine once asked me. Well, I thought then that this guy must be living under a rock to not have heard of or done blogging. I ridiculed him then. A couple of years later, I see myself asking the same question in an altogether different light. Many know me from my previous blogs. Over the past 2 years, I had posted a number of blogs with different titles. Whenever I wanted to talk about a topic, I would start a new blog. Then fill it up with a few posts, run out of ideas and end up starting a new blog. All this time I really couldnt get the essence of blogging, 'What is blogging?'. Then, it kind of hit me. A blog is a diary where you write what you want. The topic or the header for a blog matters shit and it doesnt have to be read by anyone. It's more of a way to express to none other than YOURSELF. So I've gotten rid of all my previous blogs and started a new one. The mother of all Tj blogs.......
