Blogging means sharing your thoughts, right?

Why do we write blogs?

Two months ago, one of my teachers introduced me with blogger.com . Actually, blogging is a part of evaluation for one of my subjects , so he told me and my batchmates to start righting blogs. He taught us, how a blog should be, what things you can right in your blog etc. So, I started righting blogs. He told us that, blog is one of the best ways to share your thoughts. I took that seriousely and start thinking on it. I thought if I can share anything I feel on blogger, I can tell the world about the people I respect or the historic things which touched my heart.

I collect information about freedom fighter Vasudeo Balwant Phadke and read, coz he is the first hero of battle for freedom, which I got introduced to. I tried to write about him in my blog and published it, but at that night I felt very guilty. The reason was, because of my lack of knowledge of english language, I felt I didn't make justice to the work of the great man. I couldn't find the proper wordings and so, I just put that information with some modifications in the blog instead of my own words. It happens! When you don't do a work neatly, you feel guilty and you try to make it correct through your lifetime. Now, my teacher said, your blogs should not be copy pastes...I didn't do a copy paste, but I also didn't right thae whole blog on my own, cause I took help of some paragraphs from the original documents.

Also same thing happened, when I was writing history of my hometown Solapur. It was about 4 freedom fighters from Solapur, who amazed me since my childhood. I heard story about them but never knew the original facts. Fortunately, I found one document about them. So, I read that, and immediately I decided to put that portion on my blog, because I didn't want to ruin that blog only because of my bad english knowledge. Same things happen about scientific or holy, religious facts.
And I don't understand, why to play with such divine facts? May be, that blogs won't get counted but I don't care coz, I wanted to share those things with others and I did it. I could't resist myself from doing it and in future also if I want to write about some holy or historic facts or persons, I won't ruin them if I can't express my proper feelings in words. In that case, I've to put that part of original documents in my blogs...is it wrong???


When I write a blog, I feel nice because it gives a kind of satisfaction to me that I expressed something I feel, in front of the world. Blogs are for sharing your feelings, and I am doing the same, right?

Please let me know, if I am wrong by commenting on it.
