Falling short of ideas!!

It started on a day or two before feb 11 when i randomly opened ms work and started typing an article "My stay in IIT- A retrospcet". I have been persistent with my friend who is part of insight team to get that published. And it seems my efforts are bearing fruits. But, when he gave the article to one of his baccha's to edit....What did that baccha say!!!
My friend took care that he didnt hurt the writer in me and only told me this
" You get such articles, You sure have a tough job"....Am i that bad a writer....WHO CARE'S


After doing that...on feb 11th i decided to blog...and i have been a consistent blogger with a post a day. But my blogging style has been different. I have been frequently reading posts of an IIM cal group. They blog about what happend in their daily life and that too in an insanely funny way. I have tried to adopt that kind of a style at times in my writing but, it will take some time for a novice like me to write things which can bring smiles on the readers faces. My blogging has been more about my surroundings and there short or long term impacts. I dont find things happening with me worth mentioning or writable in a manner which can bind the reader. Probably another sign that i am still a new bie for the world of writing.

I normally write after going through my daily routine of reading news on bbc's website, checking mails and after that putting songs. Today i have put ghulam ali sahab's folder in win amp play list...probably that is leading this kind of introspection, plain and not so funny kind of writing. To make it little more happening ....

Itni muddat baad mile ho, kin sochon mein gum rehte ho
Konsie baat hai tummein aisi, itne acche kyun lagte ho

A fine ghazal...with great meaning in the lyrics.

But my life style is changing in the last days...!! as the time for EDP comes close, i run farther away from it.
I have started playing Table tennis every day, since the last two days...
Regarding TT my dad used to say, " It isnt a game just guess work, If your racked happens to be where the ball is coming good...otherwise forget it", I have had slightly different experience with the game. Playing TT can be as technical as planning a war sitting in Pentagon.
I dont know how many kinds of spins are there....Back spin, Top spin, Side spins ..too complicated a game...with that small table...its probably invented by dwarfs because they thought Lawn tennis court was too big for them...so why not PING PONG.
But i need to get back to doing my EDP soon other wise it will be too late.

Clarification:

I didn't mean to say that you shouldn't write blog or you shouldn't show it to others. My comment actually came from reading this in your post - but, it will take some time for a novice like me to write things which can bring smiles on the readers faces .
So all I wanted to say was that you should write as you feel in your own style and shouldn't feel any complex from others.
Hope I have made myself clear now. Apologies for the created confusion.
