It went this way!

Today I was going through my blog posts and I realized one thing that I did not progress as a blogger. Rather I went on deterioting. Now you might say that I am depressed and all that. But no, I am just telling u the reality. When I started writing it was nice, many people encouraged you, praised you but as it went on the comments and likes kept on decreasing.

 Other than writing blogs I write newspapers mostly in Konkani my mother tongue. And fortunately I have been progressing as a writer. I started writing when I was in standard seventh I guess, I mean I started publishing my stuff. And I am proud of the way I have developed as a writer. This is not boasting. This is just self realization. People tell me that I write well and all that but of course I don’t depend on that. Some can lie too… ;) I can make that out! :P but it feels good when you get a genuine feedback. So in Konkani writing I have always received good comments but I could not develop myself as English writer. My father tells me many times to get published in English dailies. But I don’t feel that I am matured enough to do that, rather I would say my writing isn’t matured enough. And another thing is I “think” in my mother tongue so it becomes damn difficult to write in a foreign language. Yeah! I am doing my graduation in English literature because I like English literature. But it is not the language that allows me to express well. I even wrote a poem called “confession” confessing about my weakness of not being able to write well in English. I know that’s silly..: P

So I guess the major reason is explored finally for the failure of my blog! :D my inability to express in a foreign language. As Girish Krnard said that “English was the language of my adulthood” same case with me. It is the language of my adulthood. And the language with whom I was born with is the one allows me to express well. That’s why maybe I have developed as a Konkani writer and not so good in English. I am thinking of starting a Konkani blog. Hope I do it soon! Till then keep flowing out lovely thoughts and pen or type them down! You never know it might turn into a piece of literature. ;) learn languages but express in the language of your heart! JJ
