Posting an old Blog which is one of my favourites. Skip it if you have already read it. If you are a fiend for blogging that too a prolific one , I gonna do some mind reading about you Depending upon how many facts I got right about you , you gotta pay the fee . You can send it in cash .Even cheques are accepted! 
1. Whenever you are at your leisure or travelling, you are drafting blogs in your mind document, and if you are at home in the word document.
2. If you meditate you acutely suffer from the same chronic symptoms you are unconsciously and involuntarily drafting blogs!
3. You take inspiration for a blog from the recent book you read, an article that you liked in the newspaper, a sms that impressed you , a famous quote or from the scene that you witnessed on the roadside recently or a heated debate that you had with your family members or friends.
4. Anything under the sun triggers you and at the slightest nudge.. your creativity is awakened and there you have written a blog. The process of blogging has infiltrated through your blood and even pervaded and permeated into the cells of your heart and brain!!!
5. You love to be in the limelight in the blogland though you pretend to be not
6. One fine day you wake up and feel the nagging itch that you need to post something or anything on that day come what may!
7. You feel lonesome due to a spouse being busy with career or you stay away from your family. ( Nothing wards off loneliness and busts the stress like IlandingJ ) Researchers have come up with proof that blogging is indeed a Stress buster! So wander in the blue yonder and indulge yourselfJ
8. You don't have many friends in real living nearby whom you meet regularly.(True in my case) So you reach out to your blogmates.
9. You have a monotonous or stressful work routine.(Blogging and ilanding adds some spice to your otherwise dull life)
10. You start with blogging, reading blogs and commenting. Slowly you are sucked into the blackhole in a whirl by spending more and more time online ignoring other chores and real life friends.
11. Even when you are offline you keep wondering if someone have commented on your newly posted blog or if your friends have posted any new blogs. The symptoms are severe if you are new here or aat your leisure or alone.
12. Eventually the initial excitement and addiction fades away and you enter the slowdown phase where you kind of stabilize and restrict your time spent on ilanding and finally successful in the process! It makes you feel good. Congrats Ilander! Keep Rocking!
I don't know about you buddies but many of the above factors are true in my case.(Not all!!) I am more of a passive observer in Iland and I have shared with you all that I went through and about those whom I have observed in iland(Any takers for this short thesis on Iland?;-) ) in my two years of Ilanding. Wow! It is going to be three years! Great Going ! By the way I love BloggingJ

I am in the twelfth stage of blogging right now … I have posted a new blog yesterday after a looooooooong time ..
ha ha ha Tamilini…a refreshing piece, you have written here……whatever the reasons dear..we are here ..each one for our own reasons……like you dont need a reason to live..u live anyway..you dont need a reason to blog…..blog away,….. for me…you dont often meet up with somebody’’s soul in the real world….u have to strip the outer layers first to know what is inside..here it is the other way round……u get to know the inside of the person first..the exterior comes later…….i have met some of the finest ppl here on iland……
A laudable attempt to move into the minds of bloggers, Tamilini …..all the 12 factors are true in most cases, yet not the complete truth. It just depends upon from which angle you”re looking. The points indicated by you for before and after posting the blogs are true in case of creation of any kind - writing, painting, music. Years ago, when I used to write poems, in case of a long poem, the drafting used to go on in my head hours before the actual expression on paper and after writing, I was eager to know the views of friends; in which magazine it should be sent for publishing etc. Our ilands are our note books. I think that when we”re writiing here, we”re more near to truth than when speaking in actual world. In real life, there are more deceptions, falsehoods, imposters and the truth about a person rarely comes out. The writers here may be novice, imperfect, but all are trying to say something through a platform made available to them. My solute to all bloggers ..
Thanx 4 Resharing!!!
truly said….i experienced same feeling….
