It most definitely is.
I have been absent from my blog for more than 6 months. When I wanted to, I read some great blogs that I follow, but chose to be a silent spectator.. or should I say reader.
This whole year of 2010 has been a roller coaster ride for me. I could not catch up with life and my blog.. and hence I took a long break from the blogosphere. For you can not escape the vagaries of life.
I am not the same person I was when I started this blog.. and this blog has evolved with me. I look back today and view my blog with a sense of amused detachment. I am not fiercely obsessed with my blog anymore. I do not expect anybody to follow up with me, for I am not quite a reliable blogger, I say. I may be an interesting one, but I have my kryptonite in life. :)
Heck, I am not the same person that I was a month ago.. or a week ago. Everyday brings with it new challenges and new setbacks. Sometimes I prevail... sometimes life does. But the fight is interesting enough to keep it up. Isn't that what living is all about. Often I wonder how it would be if it were otherwise. Probably we wouldn't enjoy life or regale in its importance as much as we do now, at the end of a troublesome run.
I have confidence enough in my capabilities.. I believe in fate, but I also believe in human intervention. We shape our own destinies, but often life charts the course in ways beyond our control. Nothing almost ever happens exactly the way we plan, but nevertheless we can not cease to plan. It is human nature to anticipate the best, yet be prepared for the worst.
I had an interesting discussion with my dear friend Sans, about life and philosophy. I believe they go hand in hand. Philosophy is something that we seek solace in when Life treats us a rough ride. Yet, the essence of philosophy lies in Life.. in its ups and downs... plans and surprises.. contentment and disappointment.. would there ever be a philosopher who doesn't yearn to decode the language of Life?
There is a bit of philosophy in all of us. Often in some, it comes out only when they are going through difficulties. But I find that one who has gone through life such, would definetly appreciate the 'fight' more.

Well, I still follow your blog and good to see you write. Even though, the post is very, very introspective. :)
I'm sure, you're evolving and so is your blog.
Take care! And have a happy 2011.

Change is the only constant, eh? :)
Maybe that's the only rule of the game.
This post reminded me of Forrest Gump's words: "Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get!"
Thought provoking post indeed. :)
@Karthik - yes. change is the only constant. And I think, without change, we would never truly appreciate life as we know it.
Lol Ro,
Saw ME again in u...I too feel the same...that today's me is not the same Me when I started my blog...rather when I started, even if I tried being happy, I was more of Depressions, mood offs, Sadness and a total SICK me..
I tried to cm out of it thru blogs..I tried to remember those happy days of my life..and as I thought of it, many sad moments too came thru..and when my mood was good enough for me to type..I typed them into the blog...
Philosophy...its part of every single human being..if we accept another person's is the mystery...As for me, I find many ardent followers for my philosophy and advice..God knows why...bcoz, Me who preach could never practice many of it...uhmmm
Hope, whtever changes that are coming or came to u..let them be for the good of u...tht would make u better...in all way...
