Diaries V/s Blogs

Id always wanted to have a personal diary… my father and grandfather had one.  I did give it a try once, when I was a kid but it lasted hardly a page.  Probably one of the reasons for me to stop maintaining that diary was that it was accessible to all.  So it wasn’t a “personal diary” anymore.  The blogs that I write aren’t any personal, and I don’t think we can compare a blog to a diary, cos diaries include more emotions and occurrences from our lives which most of us probably wont include in an online blog. Maybe the diary was started to record the day-to-day life, hmm blogs can do the same as well.  There are loads of people who think that there’s nothing such as “personal space” everything’s gotta be out and even if it’s a something to be kept secret, people don’t mind sharing their personal experiences, which at times could be a bit embarrassing to know for family and friends.  I mean what If some guy writes about his first puff and his dad reads it, its ok if he belongs to a broad-minded family, but if he is an anti-cigarette-person like me – He’s gone! But on the other side his dad will know that his son is confessing to fag openly and he would just talk it or hed just be happy and ask him to join him next time onwards.

 

Well my point is – Is blogging the answer to personal diaries?  Im getting tempted to start writing a diary soon!!!
