Contradicting Myself--- THe Pensieve

I always looked upon blogging with a lot of contempt....I like reading interesting articles in other people's blogs sometimes, but i often thought that telling the story of my life(which isn't even a story...just another ordinary life) and giving it a fancy name like blogging was slightly lame.

I liked quizzing blogs initially...when i first came across them a long time back but then I started hating them too...cause it became an online database for lazy quizmasters who copied blog after blog for quiz after quiz(no royalty or credit for that matter given to the original creator of the blog mind u!) and if one of the participants happened to have come across the same blog(the chances of which are not that remote as most of the good quizzzing blogs are quite famous)...then that quiz will only be an excercise in recalling powers for him/her.

But then blogging seems to be rated as one of the most respected pasttimes and for quite sometime now is being  practiced by one and all....if there is an interesting incident..they write about it...if there is no such incident...they bemoan the lack of it....whatever may be the case there is always something to write about in a blog(if there is nothing to write...well thats a topic too!). 

Now i thought myself different by thinking i-dont-need-to-pen-down-my-feelings-and-emotions (for free) and telling a lot of people who cared to listen "blogging is something which i dont do!". 

This has been my opinion for quite some time now...and since i generally don't have the urge to write something or express my opinions about something it was not anunconvenient stance too!

If u have read till now and are wondering what is the reason behind this piece of literature that u r reading(it still hurts me to say "my blog post") well it is what happened in today's Principles of Management class. Now I know it is blasphemous for an aspiring CAT applicant but still i would like to say like the majority of my classmates, i find the MB class excruciatingly boring. I bunk a good many of them and the ones i attend i find some way to entertain myself for the hour(past ways: noughts n crosses, cartooning, daydreaming, reading a book under the table and the worst way is to copy notes of a previous class i have missed resulting in missing the present day's notes which i will copy again in a later class!) Now today i decided to make a list of my all time favourite movie characters(i love the AFI lists so decided to make one of my own).Jotting down the 1st 10 were easy...but then suddenly i couldn't remember movies or characters i liked but i was pretty sure there are hundreds....

Was i forgetting which movie i had liked and why?Some quirk which i loved so much back then seemed very distant in my memory now....and then a spark..."Let there b a blog!". Why don't I write down what i feel and infact remind myself how i had felt back then?(i  believe in the net being there for long enough to complete my life)And that is when i decided to make my blog lest I forget what I thought!

So this blog is not so much about telling others what i feel as it is about reminding ME  later what i felt back then....and if i am writing it down...might as well ask a few people to read it too! So this is my Pensieve!!(u'll know if u have read harry potter) [;)]

Too long for a first ...(ok i'll say it).... "post"....The top movie characters list will be up soon....till then "end of this memory" where the MB prof actually managed to indirectly inspire me to do something!
