SanjuRuns is now a blog.  Once upon a time, it was just an idea.  

Similarly, I have many ideas that I want to turn into blogs.  Writing blogs is my number one agenda these days.  I think writing blogs is so simple as well as superb.  You come across something new or exciting and you have this blog to blog about.  

So, blogging is like blabbering and sharing your blabber with whomever is interested in your blabber.  To write a blog, you don’t need to be an expert but it gives you a vast open space to express yourself no less than an expert.  

Over the years I have felt that blogging should be made part of any educational curriculum and everyone should be made to blog about something.  This kind of activity will lead to creating one of the largest repertoire of very valuable resources on earth.  

Blogs are a new thing.  They weren’t there for ages.  They came into inception just a few decades back.  I think that must not be more than 15-20 years.  I might be on the higher side but that’s the rough estimate you can have.  

So, you may wonder about how I got started as a blogger.  Before I started blogging, I was still a writer.  I used to write diaries and fill the pages of several notebooks.  And writing is the common denominator for both.  So, if you are a person who is so fond of writing then you should be a blogger sooner or later.  The world deserves to see your writings and get benefitted by it.  

Blogging for me has been a personal experience.  I started blogging by picking up topics from my personal life.  It is easy for any one to get started if you start with a personal topic.  Because personal topics don’t require you to refer to any outside resources.  You can say what you think and what you feel.  You can blog about doing things the way you do and narrating things that bother you or that interest you or enthuse or even make you wonder.  You may not seek an answer, but simply say or express.  

There may be millions of blogs out there and you may wonder if someone would really get to read you blog.  But let me assure you something that I have learnt over the years by experience.  You will be read by not one, one hundred or one thousand or even one million but way more than all this put together.  But the deal is:  You need to write and keep writing.  You need to write when you are feeling good and you need to write when you are not feeling good.  You need to write and write and write.  

The core reason why you will be known and read widely may not be your merit but your determined attitude to write and share with the world.  Most of those who blog simply give up after a certain point of time.  So, the real deal is in going on doing your writing.  If you feel that you are running out of topics to blog about then it would be a good idea to find the resources to create new ideas or put forth ideas that may not be yours but you still do them because you find them useful and relevant to your self or the part of world you are talking to through your blog.

What I am trying to tell you is that you must be a true lover of the art of writing and thinking.  The most successful bloggers are not those who are brilliant at writing but those who simply decide to show up there on their blog page every day and push that publish button more often.  I have lived through self doubts and my own relevance as a blogger.  You never know who is replying upon you as a source of inspiration for them if that is what you do.  

You can do a lot of things with your blog.  You can give hope.  You can make others dream too.  You can help others to approach life in a much more positive way.  I mean you can bring one some meaningful purpose with your own way of telling things.  Blogging gives you the liberty to be creative in your right without being bothered about how you will be taken or treated.  It may be difficult for you to get published because your worth may be weighed against the expectations of the readers who have to pay to read you.  But with blogging, there is no premium attached.  They can read and get away without having to pay.  This freemium factor is surely going to come and have a look at least once to try out what you have to offer.

And you should be willing to provide your reader the value for their time because they are still putting their time to read you.  So, the more work you do in terms of avoiding the spelling, typo error or incorrect sentence structures, you will read a lot more.  

Take any idea and make it your own by adding or subtracting what you wish.  

A lot of people keep wondering what they should start with to start blogging.  So, they go to the other’s blogs and read to them how they should be blogging so they could be successful.  You may do so but let me give you a word of caution.  It is quite impossible to replicate the success of someone else.  But it is comparatively easier to create your own.  So, instead of wasting your valuable time in trying to understand how to be successful, put more effort into becoming successful.  Your success needs your hard work.  Your success needs you to show up.  Your success needs YOU overall.  

If you are committed, focussed and writing comes as natural to you as breathing or eating or sleeping then blogging is for you.  You will be a legendary blogger one day if you remember the reason why you got started on the journey of blogging.  Those who lose their purpose lose themselves and as a result lose their value with time.  But those who remember will always be remembered.
