Back From The Sabbatical

Dear Reader,

Please ignore the title. The title is only to take care of my guilt conscience, but otherwise there is not even an iota of truth to it!

Eight months have passed since I wrote my big blog with huge promises of How I am avoiding Resolutions - http://fugleman.blogspot.in/2015/01/2015-let-us-continue-with-e-model.html, but till date, this site hasn’t seen a single other blog coming up since then. It is a promise that I haven’t kept with my readers and with myself and I feel terrible about it. 

So what is the issue? Why have I not been able to share my thoughts as frequently as they occur in this mind of mine? What has been stopping me? Is it inertia? Is it lack of topics to talk about? Is it laziness or Is it a blogger’s block? Now if there can be a writer’s block, surely there can be a blogger’s block too. After all, time is changing!

Well let me tell you, the reason is none of the above… or when I think deeper, maybe it is all of the above and more! Have you ever faced a situation where you have gone for a buffet meal and you have been tempted with too many options, such that you have filled your plate to the brim, hoping that you will be able to relish each and every portion that sits in your plate but you ended up struggling to finish the entire contents of that plate? Let me tell you that the eyes eat more than the stomach. Yes, that’s true! I am going through the same situation right now. On my ‘Digital’ plate, I have put too many tempting things and I am clearly struggling. I don’t want to put away any of those things that are there on my plate but my stomach is not able to take in all of it. A lot of my time is getting eaten (pun intended) by different social media platforms, leaving very limited time for a blog. I am busier in reading and enjoying the thoughts of others than taking time out to share my thoughts with the world. This is a problem that I acknowledge, accept and realize and now I need to make the effort to also fix it. 

What better way to start working on the problem than to talk about it. So this blog is my return from the sabbatical and now I will make all efforts to bring content on this site more regularly for all of you and for me. 

So what kind of blogs would you like to read from me? Put in your comments and let me know.
