The lines imposed on the blogging world, blurs as we step beyond the invisible lines drawn to make friends in real life.
Though we blog under fictitious names, what we write except stories, aren't fiction.
They are our true feelings, honest and from the heart.
You get sympathy, support, advise from various faceless people around the world.
Whether we take the advice or not is secondary, but lovely people do come by to support you and your decisions.
When we do make that conscious effort to step out of the blog world confines of a friendship, we are not sugar coating our personalities.
The actual person, who we are is what is presented. Some friendships click and some don't. When the friendships do click, the pleasure derived in visiting the other person's blog doubles!You have childish games played, comments passed, legs pulled.
Mostly it looks like a huge party with lots of people just having a good time.
Are some of the comments written childish? Sure, they are!
I was discussing the same with Monu the other day and she agreed on that part.
We blog to destress, to talk about aspects of our lives,which we generally wouldn't. We share our feelings with the hope that there is someone else out there who has felt the same, who understands and one who passes on a virtual hug without asking why you need it!
We are here to have fun basically, and to make friends along the way.
Life's hard, to all of us. We all have hiccups, everyday at work is filled with some new challenge or we get burdened with the existing problems.
My blog, my friend's blogs are getaways for me.
So, yea, the comments do get a little childish, the conversation runs into lengths because we pull each other's legs quite a bit :)
Each comment is treasured and each new friend made is celebrated.
So, yea, we fight, we pull each other's legs, we talk random stuff and sometimes on purpose we deviate from the existing topic and talk nonsense! :)
Yea, it helps that we crib, fight and fall all over the blog world to be first!
It helps us laugh and it makes one feel wanted.
So, go right on and be childish and funny and smart, 'cause with all this laughter, we are making our world a happier place to live in! :)
And as Swaram aptly put it, its more about connecting with people than showing off writing skills and making politically correct statements!
Cheers to our wonderful blog samaj which is filled with love, unconditional support and friendship! :)

Uhahahahahahahaha :)
Pixie I so agree with you. And it'l be so wonderful to take these friendships to the real world as well (that's why we have the phone and blog meets, I guess :D)
Chatting and starting unrelated conversations allow us to relax and entertain ourselves...so healthy :D
was that the superwoman theme , my dear Swaram?:P
Thatz the bkgrnd score ;)
Also, in line with the post, we need to keep the conversation gng!
Where is this hostess nw??? Must be on her bean bag sipping kaapi :P
Come on ... serve us something!
now don't you go talking about kaapi n food. I'l want one too. And home is another 3 hours away !
Hitchy, you get awesome Khatta Meetha namkeen in Indore, right?
*Pixie hurrys back with cookies, coffee and samosas*
I know! I agree!!
Hitchu, you are right. The friendships formed here have been much more genuine than the real world ones!!
Swaram is all over the place today!! :)
Pixie! Well said!!
Nothing more to add! You have said it all :)
Three cheers to our blog samaaj.. and may it remain like this forever :)
Pix - You should move to WP - MUCH MORE fun to comment :)
Swati, you are so right! :)

The first one to comment, sometimes the only one to comment on my posts :)
Khatta Meeta Namkeen! Sigh.. I want!
Home is another 2 hrs away even though office is done by 5!!
Smithus, apparently I have a WP account! ;)
but, its been inactive now and I have to reactivate!!

This place sometime works as a catharsis, and at other timesw eshare our happiness, ideas everything truely and honestly.
oh yes, WP is turning out to be so much fun. I'm one of the latest transfer cases :D
Sigh! Now she talks about samosas!
Meira, I'm all excited about moving to WP!
Will probably eat everyone's head!!
I actually feel like having hot samosas and chai! :)
Blame it all on Bangalore's weather! ;)

Meira: Yes! you and swaram both move here! Life will be so much more fun! :)

Oh yes, Pixie...it's planned then. Swaram n I'l move to Bangalore. Swaram and TS will swap recipes and Su n I will sample their cooking :P
ME? !! :(
Swaram and Meira, this is not fair ok?!
I invited you both to Bangalore and now, you both have left me out.
Paapa me...
n then we'l be your neighbors. And on days that I don't feel like cooking, I'l hop over to your place for dinner.
Ha ha ha .. Su wil b so happy to hear this :P
oh nonono, Pixie...I hadn't finished building castles in the air in the previous comment :D
“A blog is an ideal way of doing a brain dump on a daily basis of what is going on right now, the weird, the exciting and the awful things...”
So now tht's said, u hv now got another friend! :)
Swaram and Meira: you build the castles! I am heading home now! :)
Will log in again from home :)
Meira, we can be neighbors! some of the apartments are empty in our building i think! Or we can get them emptied by requesting our very own Solilo!! ;)
@ Elegant Chic: rightly said! :) and Welcome! :)
New Friends are always cherished! :) :)
Don Solilo, right ?:P
Tada, have a good time
very nicely said Pixie..
it's so true this is one place we all are de-stressed..
the race for being 1st, the leg-pulling, serious discussions we have at times..
we are like this only and would love to be like this :)

@Mystery: :) yep!
Am glad you did come by!! :)
I hope things have settled down now and you aren't as busy as you were! :)

Childish comments?? seriously??? I hate such people!! I write only thought provoking, philosophical and meaningful comments.
Btw, where am I and whose blog is this? :D :D

I will tell you Pixie... this blog samaj is great... we are like a group of friends who are meeting and discussing... errr... leg pulling daily and when one missed for a day we are able to notice it so easily...
