WHY I FOLLOW BLOGS.




I like the presentation.

I like the colour palette.

The contents are informative.

I get to learn new things.

And most important I get to see how other people view the world.

It introduces me to many blogs and websites I never knew about.

I get to visit other people’s home and see their home decor,how they celebrate festivals and it introduces me to their hobbies be it painting,gardening cooking etc.

I make new contacts through email with people whom I have never met and may never meet around the globe.I come to know of their interest and passions.



 Reading is my hobby and when I see photos of books displayed on bookshelf or coffee table I try to see what other people are reading or pretending to have read.

Whoever first started blogging thanks to him or her?

Reading blogs is informative,relaxing and fun.

A big thank you to you all bloggers who make it possible.

Now let me know why you follow blogs?


Like a butterfly that visits different flowers to collect nectar,similarly a blogger visit different blogs to collect the best information ,ideas and enrich their lives.

NOTEBOOK





Yesterday I went to the printing press near my house to get an old book bound.

I am visiting this place since childhood and the proprietor knows me well enough that everytime I go he offers me tea and we chitchat about his business and changes taking place in the surrounding area and society in general.

While conversing with him yesterday I just mentioned to him how busy he must be as schools are going to start and children must be coming to him to get old notebooks unused pages bound in a book.
He laughed and said “Those days are gone, now days kids don’t do any such thing.”

I remember when we were kids as soon as our results were declared old text books were sold and blank pages of notebooks removed and kept together to bind it in a book which could be used for homework or as rough book.

I still have this habit of removing blank pages from old diaries and journals before disposing them and keeping them in my black folder so that I can use them when required.

From the numerous posts that I receive I collect the ones whose back side is blank and use this paper for sketching or scribbling notes.

I surely would like to know if anyone else does that.
