Under duress
Had it not been set specifically as an assignment for a class, I do not think I would ever have bothered joining this completely unknown and unacknowledged (by me) community of bloggers. But now that I am stepping into this, I feel kind of excited about where this may lead, which should warn anyone who may bother to waste a few minutes of their life reading this, that it is unlikely that this will be a well directed documentation of a particular aspect of my life. This is to be an experiment, perhaps an exploration of why people all over the world, who otherwise lead private, quiet lives are so voluble and expansive in this electronic representation of themselves.

To me blogging is not just an electronic representation of oneself; it is about saying your piece, it is about going out and joining the conversation where it is happening, it is about reaching out to people and exposing yourself to new ideas.
