Well inspired by my favourite senior, I started blogging. Everytime I think of wrinting a blog, I end up in void space. Even this time I guess this is the fourth line I'm typing in a span of 20 minutes. Well, thats the block.
Every time I start writing, the very first thing that sucks up my time is the Title, or rather the subject of my blog. I dream about writing about my favourite topics like music that would trancend me from reality, how individual pieces of noise would combine to produce ethereal music, how I dream of cooking, my fantasies in the wee hours of midnight, my experiences in a remote village in Rajasthan called pilani, my treks, my travelling adventures, my idea of beauty, the thoughts in solitude, brain waves in romance, the conflicts in my mind, the BIG question on my future, my passions in life, the percieving the world through a pair of lenses, birdwatching (a great salim ali fan...?), my love for liquor, et al.
And then I'm caught in an ocean of topics where I struggle to choose one. And then when I'm done (Its almost an hour), I start typing. Then comes the guy who would rather kill me than stay with me...Mr. Block again.
And so I decided I give a tribute to Mr. Block...and hence the blog.
By the end of this blog I think now I know what to write and how to....
Thank you Mr. Block...Defeating you was a great challenge.

Now that's a good start!
Frankly I am in no position to give you advice or something. But the one thing that works is to clarify why you want to write? who are you writing to?
If you are writing for an audience expecting people to read it, then it's difficult for you to be natural. The best thing about blog is it has no formats - when you decide to write coz you feel like, and that you don't give a shit about how people will like it, or whether you make friends out of those who read your blogs, it becomes much easier. So what if it's not the most interesting piece of read on earth. You wrote it and after sometime, it becomes a nice channel to frame your thoughts. there are different kinds of blogs - when you find time, take a look at the recently updated blogs or the chosen ones in blogger. they might give you an idea. hope this helps
