Books have their own priorityand blogs have their own. Few books are always to be read and remembered. Whereas, blog are the tools for expressing oneself.

Good attempt. I am of the opinion that books are the best way to express the ideas one possesses.Books can’t be forgotten while blogs have every possibility of it.

Blogging is an open ended medium. You write and you go on and keep writing about differen topics. Blogging gives a personal touch with one’s own view of things. That’s why Blogs are interesting to read. Short pieces that can be read in 5 minutes. I took 5 minutes to read your post and 1 minute to comment. If you write a book it may take a few years for you to get popular enough for me to consider reading your book. To read your blog, one Desipundit link is enough.

Hi ,

I was reading ur blog posts and found some of them to be wow.. u write well.. Why don’t you popularize it more.. ur posts on ur blog ‘Enagar’ took my particular attention as some of them are interesting topics of mine too;

BTW I help out some ex-IIMA guys who with another batch mate run http://www.rambhai.com where you can post links to your most loved blog-posts. Rambhai was the chaiwala at IIMA and it is a site where users can themselves share links to blog posts etc and other can find and vote on them. The best make it to the homepage!

This way you can reach out to rambhai readers some of whom could become your ardent fans.. who knows..

Cheers,

As it’s said - “The younger generation has shorter attention span” - that goes for both reading and writing !!
I guess, blogging fits the New World Order.

That reminds me, I have complete that new book I started few weeks back

Depends on whether one has the ability and patience to write one.

i saw an interview with a writer who is prominent - don’t remember - it could be sydney sheldon but he says it takes him 6 drafts to finalise a book. Plus it is not that blogs haven’t been turned into books.
It all depends upon the intension honesty and dedication of the writer research my sassy girl (its a good movie)
