Communication.....Blogs... Literature.... Music

....Well ....yet again it's again a mundane Sunday night at the office....Lonesome to be true.... a few with whom I generally interact wouldnt be working on a sunday normally.......ofcourse they are much higher in the hierarchy levels than the self, well ofcourse it aint a flat organization and no onw at this place believes in it being so.....as they say "idle mind is devil's work shop" i personally dont believe in my work shop being the hub of destructive intellect. So here I am, keying down the same ol' crap that i always enjoyed doing... no thoughts ... not a goal either... yet again some musings... generic...
I just remembered the conversation we men had over a drink sometime, rather a long time back... one of my friend said "you bloggers... man you guys write some bull on the net which is freely available to scribble". He continues " I think these are somethings that are written by people who dont have friends or they are what you call the hardore introverts". I am seriously confused here ...cos this could be true... but I dont complete comply with his version of thoughts.... but yes it could definitely be a place which one fills with his frustrations and what not.... but i believe that literature is a very powerful medium of communication.... i consider myself to voracious reader..... and the full fledged of Indians to the world wide web has provided an opportunity to a lot many readers like me to read a whole lot of stuff off the web. It could be very informative and ofcourse it could be time pass as well. But in general literature is indeed a very powerful medium of communication.
I have recently cultivated a habit of reading blogs off the net... ofcourse there are a lot of blogs that i come across written by a few friends and a lot of acquaintances. A whole lot of people among these just write to show off the profess that they hold on the language of english. They tend to use a innumerable jargons that they can fill up their blog with which probably is a load too much for a person who has put loads of hardwork for his/her preparation of CAT XAT GMAT GRE TOEFL and yet another umpteen number of competitive examinations. What's the purpose??? are these useless bunch of people writing blogs to gain a superiority complex from with in?? It's great to keep upgrading their personal lexicography as long as they may want to keep it to their utter nonsense restricted to their personal lives.... NO.... but not when they are trying to share some knowledge to the world.. what ever happens to the communication part when they ever try to share something.... trust me the communication is ZILCH!!!
Probably for me a blog or any form of literature should be very simple and clean while it needs to be power packed as well. It needs to communicate what the writer intends to. Filling up with a whole lot of Jargons and Vocab aint doin nothin good mate!!!
Another powerful medium of communication I rate above anything in the world is "MUSIC" . It has been, is and will be the most powerful medium of communication untill Terra Firma exists. We've been a witness to this in the past and sometimes relentlessly try to incorporate them into our lives. There have been the folk songs that have been sung through the centuries and centuries from the so called illiterate educated homosapiens who've sung through their lives to communicate the art of good being and living. I can just rattle off a few such mixes of literature and then translated to music and then into communication just like that. They could be the "Kabir ke Dohe" or down south the " Vachana Saahitya", "Daasa Saahitya", "Dharma Pada", "Gnaana Pada" or the "Jaanapada". The then learned men who tried to communicate in the form of literature later may have translated the same to the unlearned men and which inturn took the form of music and trust me people lived much happier then as compared to what lives we are leading today.
There have been cults that have been formed following the kind of music people listen to. These cults have done dope, drugs and what not kinda shit . These cults have idolised the music people, they have committed suicides when their idols kicked the bucket doing some unknown weed on the face of the earth. When this crap can be communicated and then have a cult actually follow all this, then why not the truth, why not a healthy matter to the world. Why cant we make this place a better living space? why!!!!!!

beats me

It is not that bloggers are loners, but in fact, bloggers are, in fact,quite the opposite. They create friends, communities and a following of avid readers, They are trustworthy and they have a sense of style, an expert way of communicating with the masses and most importantly they have a leading edge in the virtual word where the other 'loners' are whiling away with bimbos at coffee shops.
