Blogging has never been my dream or it wasn’t actually in my
mind up until I was in the final year at College. In fact, I have never heard
of blogging until one of my college mates talked about his blog during our
informal chit-chats. I said inside “What
nonsense is that thing called blog?”
He was saying “Blog is an online page, where we can write
whatever. And it is almost like an online diary.”
Back in the room, I tried to find out more about blog. And I found
out that ‘blog is an online page, like my friend said where we can publish,
update and share it on the World Wide Web.’ Still, my impression was same because i felt i have no story to be shared to the world's page.
Thus, I never got curious in the blog thing and I didn’t even
explore. By the way, I was facebook freak that time. And ofcorse, I am still
the same. Whatever little thing I used to write other than my personal diary, I
used to upload it under my timeline in the facebook. I used to get flattered because of the
flattering comments and the huge number of likes and in some extent, the
messages in my inbox saying they like reading the thing I have casually uploaded.
You won’t believe me. Those days, even in the middle of class
session, I would be mentally busy preparing of the poem or an article or at
least a prose that I will upload for my readers as soon as i get back to the room. I must have been little crazy that time. I had
the feelings that I want to write over whatever incident or whatever activity I
have attended.
Ofcorse, those days, most of the time, I would write about my
boyfriend because we were very new into the relationship. And everything seemed
to be new with him and everything seemed a suitable situation to write. And perhaps, that is how I got interested into
writing. Though nothing of what I write is a good piece but the only thing I
want to stand in the writers’ world is because I am interested.
Well, let me get into what has pushed me into the nerve to
get the blog link for myself. I have
once posted a story about my home-culture, depicting the alcoholism nature of
my maternal grandpa in the facebook. I bet the readers have loved that story. Among the readers
was one of my English teachers of my middle-secondary schooling. He has
such good English command, both in speaking and writing. I used to adore him
because even though English is not his mother language, he was very fluent and
very clear with English terms.
In that story was his comment “Karma, why don’t you have a
separate blog Account opened so that you can share this story in the blog
world?” I was like down to earth with his suggestion. Immediately, I wanted to
have my own blog.
However, I am little too much poor in the online applications
and functions. I though explored to create one but couldn’t do. Days went
by and I kept continuing to update only my face book timeline. I saw people
sharing their blog link; I opened some and read some. And I just kept having
the desire to own my own blog one day.
Following that I had several people with the same
recommendations. And that’s when I requested Mr. Kinley Wangchuk, the Author of
the book ‘Kadrinchoe beyond words’ to help me create a blog Account. He then helped me to contact Mr. Sherab Tenzin
for the technical Assistance. Mr.Sherab is one of the pro-Bhutanese bloggers. It
is always worth reading his blog ‘Bhutanics.com.’
Sherab sir immediately created me my blog link. But due
to some reasons, I still couldn’t maintain the blog actively. Sherab sir
constantly used to remind me like when I am going to update the blog he has
created for me. And everytime, i used to be with full of smart excuses for him. I owe him so much for
being very inspiring and motivating figure in my life, for being always
supportive.
Thus, only on July 29, 2016, I could proudly post my first
and ofcorse the introduction note on the blog. And now that I am more than a
month old in the blog, I am learning lots of new features, new things and new
lessons like earning though blogging. It is completely new to me. And I am yet
to find out how.
Lastly, though my blog has no specific genre and neither a
helpful tips like others, it is more of like a bin everything together, I am just hoping that one day, I will proudly
say that I am a “Blogger.’
Thanking you.
Hi Karma,
ReplyDeleteI also feel satisfied for being able to help you on this. It is happier to see you taking it positively and picking up the pace.
To be frank I have helped those who keep on asking to creating a blog just to forget the next day and then after few days again ask to create yet another.
Yet I like helping because I love doing it. Yet when someone whom I have helped picks up the grip and tread, I love looking from far and patting myself. You are one of such person, Karma.
Keep blogging. I am sure, in blogging you'll hear unheard and see many unseens. Thanks!
