Guess who's back?

Guess who's Back????.......Yup Its me......back again with yet another scribbling

Unlike my previous scribbles this one will NOT have any message for life because frankly, its getting boring I haven't got anything. So this is gonna be one really short and sorta meaningless post listing out things Ive learnt, or things that have I have been thinking about in the past few weeks.

1) Vishal and V.U, my "students" beat me at debating for the first time....Congrats people.....you rock! (Oh and btw, I'd trash you people in 8 minute speeches :P) IT WAS FRKIN 2 MINUTE SPEECHES!!!!

2) One more Tamil film Ive been waiting for finally releases! (Manmadhan Ambu) FINALLY..... Ill be sure to catch it.

3) You can have really fun conversations with Prabha Ma'am and Dino if you try

4) You can have a REALLY GOOD TIME chatting with your friends from your prev. school on fb! Its amazing!!!!

5) Having a 3 year old cousin in you home is Reallly fun. But it can get kinda annoying if he keeps saying "This is game?" when you're trying to post something in your blog.

6) There's still 1 school day left and Im hoping for the best.



7) People have lot of fun gossiping about you.

8) Neeksi dances while she talks. (Hi)


9) Desk Ball is different from Bounce Ball.....and better....There are lesser chances of you getting caught if you play in X B

10) MJ still Rocks.

11) Captain Planet is AWESOMEE!

12) Our school better give us a holiday on Dec 31

13) Dwayne Johnson rocks!

14) I really need to get a mobile

15) (this is also a announcement) The next debate motion is.......*drums roll*..... "THW BAN JUSTIN BIEBER" YAY!!!!

Thats it for now..... Ill be back (again) with the next post in a few days.
Btw, Merry Christmas people! (Happy new year, too)

Is Blogging Dying????

So, Im back again.......FINALLY.......

All of you must have noticed the title by now. Thats a serious question I wanna ask......seriously.....

IS BLOGGING DYINGG????

Last week on Oct 4th our school hosted a bunch of other schools for Round 6 Legs 9 and 10 of the Indian/Inter School Debating Championships (ISDC) (I WAS THERE!!! YAY!!!). The first debate for all schools was on the motion "THW not have a facebook profile" and our school was against BVM. We won the debate, but what I noticed in that debate was this --

Our brilliant third speaker, Nikhil Venkatesa asked people to quit fb coz of "security and privacy concerns" and asked people to spread their "messages" on blogs. This was in response to a point raised by our opposition who said facebook could be used for spreading social messages. However, this point was "rebutted" by the opposition who just said "blogging is dead. no-one cares about bloggin" (or sumthng to that effect.

And Thats why I ask myself that question. True. We have to admit that not many of us talk about blogging and that many of my classmates are blissfully unaware of what a Blog is, so I was forced to conclude that Blogging is dying and was seriously planning to ask everyone to be more active on blogs when---

Neeharika Patnam comes and asks me "Do you have a Blog?". This made me think again and before I knew it, we had exchanged blog addresses and Ive already commented on one of her posts there.

And Athindra, another one of my friends also comes and talks to me about blogs, which DOES show that blogging is Still living. But the question is not whether blogging is dead but whether blogging is DYING?

And the answer is YES. We're having low activity around blogs and we really need to be more active. Spread the word, Ask more people to create blogs and we can get blogging back on its feet. To my "non-blogging" readers.....Its simple. Visit blogger.com, follow the instructions and VOILA! So for now,,


Happy Blogging and....
ADIOS, Folks!
