Why I Blog

I started writing blog in August 2007.
I was very new to blogging and this is my first blog which was initially read only by my friends and family.
Life took its course, I got busy with some very personal things in my life.
I again started blogging in Oct 2009,after the birth of my son Advaith Sankar and am more or less regularly updating my blog.
I have been initially trying to incorporate his growth developments into this very same blog.But later decided it needed more space and a "Special" page for himself. So emerged "www.advaithsankar.shutterfly.com" leaving this site mostly for my recipes and other travel facts.
I personally feel, my writing skills along side my cooking skills have developed from 2007 to present.
It gives me thrill to write, and I get tremendous satisfaction and happiness, when I check the blog stats each day and read comments if any.
Blogging gives me an opportunity to express myself, to a greater audience.
I feel good when I know, somebody, somewhere in another corner of this world is reading my blog, thanks to the modern technology, widgets and html codes which let me know, detailed statistics about my each post.
I write because I want to be read.
