So here I am, finally in Blogging Land and the first thought that comes crowding into my head is the sheer un'poeticness' of the word 'Blog'. At one end you have budding geniuses of the 'typed' word creating masterful pieces of 'e' literature, and at the other you go and name it a 'BLOG', a word singularly lacking literary appeal. And to top that,in case you erroneously drop the vital 'L'during a frenzied course of typing, you land up in the 'bogs' ( a word which during my college days referred to that sanctum where one retreated to answer nature's call). So, ye seasoned bloggers, do give the matter some serious thought and come up with something both punchy and poetic to replace the bog ; now that was a typo, swear to you , I meant replace the 'Blog'.
