I began blogging in early 2005 on my first visit to Delhi. The first post (not on this blog) was written hurriedly at a cyber cafe not far from where I'm writing this. I was excited, because what I wrote, for once, was there for all to see.
Blogging caught on. I, perched in a hamlet with no Internet connectivity, was left out.
Even after I began getting access to the Internet more often, my participation in the frenzy, at best, has been sporadic. I'm left with enough time to write, but not a will that is strong enough.
I started a Tumblr micro-blog more focused on illustrations and pictures. My intention was to encourage drawings and working on Photoshop. Predictably, I have contributed hardlyanything to it.
The idea of a personal website has appealed to me ever since I heard of it. The blog, too, was to be a sketchpad of sorts. But the limit to which I could customise it was a put-off.
I finally have a website now. I've called it Boxiwallah.com (this is why). I have been updating it often, thankfully.
Now that I have what I always wanted bittercurry.blogspot.com to be, and a Tumblr blog to top it off, it is no longer feasible for me support this blog. All the posts on this blog are available on the website.
I may return to Blogger again, though. It's a lovely platform, and I like it more than Wordpress.
Tell me how the website looks.
