Why am I writing?

Since past few days I was badly stuck up with LDAP; the problem was that you cant create user in Adobe LiveCycle (a software which helps in automating workflows in an organization) it takes only the LDAP user. So having no clue about LDAP I had to make a complete LDAP instalation, create a directory and all that crap that only networking people in Symbiosis used to do. For me LDAP meant 'Last day at Partecs(the company where I did internship)'.
Thanks to the bloggers and the lousy documentation that open source people do I was able to manage some how.

The story holds a lot of relevance as most of the geeky searches that you make on search engines now days point to blog enteries and thats exactly how I got into blogging.
Still not a very convicing reason but the fact is that I love writing. Blogging is an ultimate media to express I dont know why the media want to kill bloggers ... Read this Blogpost by Jace.
Personally talking, each time I write I am a better individual, okay I am not making a big statement but at core I am very confused person a typical libran(Some time I do believe that what ever Linda Goodman wrote about Libran Man, wrote keeping me in mind!), blogging give a lot of clarity to my tought process. And yeah I do put in a lot of effort before I write anything,. And the very feeling of sharing is amazing, I love the fact that people are reading what I am writing and some time it does make sense to them.

Parag sir has inspired me a lot ... and relate very much to what he says about Blogging. The slides are highly informative and contain some of the bloging best practices. Infact he is among the people who inspired me for blogging. The more people start sharing what they are learning, the faster this world will become a better place.

Some times a blog is just a medium to express when nobody is listening to me, its like talking to myslef; Sometimes its just a shoulder to cry, and sometimes its just a pat on my own back and sometime a kick on my own butt!

Written word has a lot of power, while u write, ur idea gets a strength, and it becomes an ideology.
Thats why written word lends so much more to credibility than spoken word, thats y everything that demands trust wants it in written, ur biz docs, legal matters or even marriage, for that matter!
