FEEDBACK
Within few hours my friend was back with her report. She is a good task finisher like M S Dhoni!! The first thing she had to say “forget about the blogs; come back in your humble, honest world. Don’t mess with the mess”.
I believe she must have visited many blogs, as she is a comparisoner! (as we Indians are –“uski sari, meri sari se jyada safed kaise?”)
She continued-“blogs are all about decorative language and manipulative words. There has to be many –err…., grrrr.., blah……, ah…., cool, etc. and I bet you can’t use them ever!”
(She is right!)
“And then there are some childish and some intellectual blogs. You choose the middle path always. You know one has to be extremists, with thoughts and expressions, to fetch the readers!”
(Again she is right.)
“Last but not least, there are no colours in your blog and I doubt there will be any as you prefer black and white! Then you don’t have the long blue colored list at the right hand side and some colored names from where one can directly jump to other blog!! I don’t think there is any chance for you. That is all I have to say now it’s up to you.”
At last she is done with her report. I have to trust her. She speaks only the truth. She is not the one who looses the opportunity to be honest in the name of being good.
I thought my blog HOPES FLEW AWAY for ever. I was as silent as death. To get some life I turned up to this small poem of mine-
IT HAPPENS
It happens in our lives when our plans fail, our thought process derails.
We have to adjust with anguish and disgust.
We feel all is lost, but we can’t die.
We have to believe that we are still alive.
Our brain is bullied and heart is torn,
But that’s the only chance we get to RE BORN!!
We need to bear this temporary pain,
We should be courageous to live once again!!!

Very humbly, I beg to differ -
1) blogs are all about decorative language and manipulative words.
Usually that is not the case. Most of the readers are keen to read something which interests them. Using unnecessarily flowery language might get on to nerves more often than not. But if you aspire to have a blog on poems and dread using decorative language, that doesn't go down very well!
2)You know one has to be extremists, with thoughts and expressions, to fetch the readers!
Forget about readership for a while, you need to be convincing even otherwise. Being an extremist isn't the only way to convince people! If your words don't have conviction, or they don't present some idea well, what's the point?
3)Last but not least, there are no colours in your blog and I doubt there will be any as you prefer black and white!
I can just say your friend doesn't look like all that well-versed with blogs. Some of the most frequented blogs have the most simple layouts. Links to other blogs don't add to your readership, but they can definitely add value to your readers' time as they might get some new blogs worth their time.
Blog or no blog, patience is the key. God bless!
