Well. I have taken the first step. In Warbling.
Warblers are small, cute birds, which are found in many countries. Commonly scurrying from hedge to hedge, tree top to tree top, singing their way from chore to chore, from worm to worm ! The photo of this little warbler is that of Tennessee Warbler
I don't think they care whether their songs are listened to by any one !
Bloggers are a species of warblers, found all over the world and making sounds in writing - and most don't seem to mind if any one listens to or not !
If others start to listen, and reciprocate - well , it gets interesting.
The country I live in, Malaysia, has become a land of Bloggers. There are popular Blogs which at their peak have , about 1 million hits a day ! Advertisement executives would drool at these numbers. Blogging is widespread I believe in countries like China, Malaysia, India, in large numbers both in real terms and also in per capita numbers. I presume it is the anxiety in a person to be heard that makes them to resort of blogs, and hoping that from the millions who surf the net, some might drop in accidentally on to a specific blog and like what is written there.
Why call my blog as Warbler's Inn? The simple answer is I make sounds in writing , like the Warblers in the wild, May be not comprehended by many, but having special meaning to a few who like what they read ! Like the Warblers the music of writing is there, there is a meaning to it, and those who like may agree or disagree - like a chat in the wayside Inn.
For there are many topics I strongly feel about. I would try to stay away from Politics - except in a general way, Religion - in a general way as well. There are issues which haunts the average person , and it is a pity no one seems to have time for him. It is like the Common Man in R.K.Laxman's cartoons , who is in the thick of things, observes what goes on around him, but has no say. Most people in real life are exactly like that. The rich and powerful have cornered the global issues and they influence, while the poor Common Man dances round the issues churned out by the Power Centres.
Look to the warbling which would come on these pages - and hope we can get a lot of people with common interest add to the warbling !
Cheers !
