Which readership counts more?

Blogging is not only a pastime exercise, more than that it has other reasons also –the reasons like one should be heard and read by a bigger number of people, the readership should not be confined to a country or two alone, this should rather be spread over globally to cover maximum number of locations of traffic within the country and equally abroad. The other consideration that is more prompting is monetising the blog to have some access to monetary advantages, but here again the very question mark is that of the traffic. Some important ad providers prescribe a certain minimum for the purpose stipulating an additional condition that at least 50% of the traffic should be exclusively from America. Doesn’t it mean that bloggers from India are unnecessarily harnessing themselves to the task of blogging with no scope for any pecuniary benefit. This also denotes that the prejudices and discriminations, which are otherwise rampant every where in the world, are no exception in the case of bloggers too. There are countries, mainly including America and Great Britain, who still continue to wear a disdain sort of look against the people with the Indian tag. This is an attitude that warrants a suitable detraction in the matter peremptorily, as it is terribly against the discipline of equality.

Drawing inspiration from brevity masters

I suffer from a feeling that no expression is complete unless a desired justice is done to its elaboration. Then the question arises as to what extent a point is to be elaborated, elaboration in its entirety or with an element of preciseness and this confusion finally lands me to a full length writeup on the subject which after all is a cumbersome task. I have come across certain posts in some blogs where the expression is confined just to a few lines to make the article complete. I too feel like falling in line with this type of writers to get rid of too lengthy a coverage on a topic. Topics till now covered by me have been around 300 words on an average and, if I draw an inspiration from the writers who are brief to the extent of barely a few words, it may serve the purpose if I too confine myself to a length of say within 100 words and here begins my new experiment without ofcourse knowing how my opportunity providers will take it. May be I am taking a risk.

Laws sans Rules

Laws are made to be followed, followed as such and followed as rules. Things are different in practice. There are law abiding people but the number of those is bigger who defy them flagrantly. Even minor eventualities in respect of defying the Law are supposed to be taken in serious terms which is not seen in routine nor there is any care in that context. When A.G. Gardiner wrote his ‘Rule of the road’, he possibly had the similar situation in mind. He talks of an Austrian woman roaming round about loitering in a free styled manner on the road when a heavy vehicle passed with the driver finding it difficult to move forward because of that lady changing turns before his vehicle. When questioned, the lady’s reply was that since she belonged to a free country, she was all free to move on the road or any where else in a manner that suited her. The driver told her in a robust voice that if this sort of freedom was her definition of it, he was equally free to crush her down the wheels of the vehicle getting away scotch free. Scenario is more or less the same even today almost in all the places excepting a few countries where sense of discipline is strictly adhered to. As it is seen in practical terms at many a places, even monitors of laws and rules themselves freely opt to defy them, nay at times in much worse in a manner compared to commoners. Laws made and promulgated are to be followed in a disciplined manner and, if not, better they be not formed or promulgated.
