Blogging the Diary

I had this habit of writing a diary. When I was a kid, on every new year, my father used to bring me a new diary.With a smell of the out-from-the-press pages I set to write. Scribblings, random thoughts that comes across the mind. The most important things were often not written. I tended to be too busy with it to write about it. Some of them however, were written down, later. The best part of having a personal diary to yourself is when you get back to it, maybe ten years later. Memories, sweet and sad ; suddenly evoked from a dormant corner of the mind. A Blog is like a personal diary.Or Is it? Diaries were written for the self, not for the world. Blogs are for the world to see. Much more egotistic.Isn't it?
