Pointless Posts

Guys, I understand I have been posting undecipherable posts lately.

No I am not slipping out of my mind and I have not been drinking too. I saw my life and environment change so drastically. I am coming into terms with new realities.

We all do stupid and silly things, which makes sense to no one else. We never bother to think it over, fearing the 'pointlessness'. That's what I have been doing. Writing out the pointlessness of life.

For example, I came across a bunch of guys. They earn very well, but still they live very much frugally, eating the most basic food. They put their blood and sweat and skipped meals on share markets and stocks. I fail to find any point in what they've been doing? What if the whole thing comes crashing down. What if the whole things goes up but still they end up paying heavy medical bills?

Kindly bear with my deranged mind

The (ad)sensible comments

I don’t live with the illusion that I am a popular blogger. Once upon a time I have tried to be one. Then I realized I may have to compromise with the content and gave up on the effort. I once tried the Adsense and found out that I am checking my earnings every hour. It was extremely repulsive, besides I am content with what I earn for a living and so gave up that too.

The last day I was having a small talk with a techie friend of mine over tea. To be frank I wasn’t aware of the intricacies of earning over adsense and I found it very amusing.( He doesn’t know I had a blog of my own.) That’s when I realized the mystery behind one-two word comments I have been getting.

Please don’t misinterpret what I am getting into. I am happy with the fact that people make money out of blogging. And I am quite aware of the importance of making friends/marketing in the blogosphere. I am very happy when you do it in my space.

The problem is I have always been a stickler to sincerity- be it in real world or virtual world. I may not be successful in it, but I try my best to do things with 100% sincerity. So when I learnt from my techie friend that Google pays extra dollars for particular key words and there are people who lift content straight out of books and sites on health tips and stuff I got curious. One another assured content you can get many hits are pornography.

Recently I got a ‘nice review’ comment from a total stranger and steered on to his site. There were some four blogs in his name. One was on downloads, other was on health tips and other on ‘Hot Desi Girls’. Well the health tips gave a feel of bland plagiarism. The Hot Desi girls were pure sick, as the pictures were lifted from some other sites and pasted here. I am a great fan of internet pornography. But I make sure that I enjoy the ones who consciously pose for it. When you put in your space innocent pictures of girls who posed while with their friends or family and label them as ‘Hot Karachi girls’, it’s really sick. The advantage for the particular blogger is Google won’t label this site as porn, as there is no nudity. But imagine a situation when your sister/mother/daughter opens the internet and finds her photo in an adult site with a not so nice label.

This is not an anti-porn post. I wanted to make a simple request to anyone who reads this. When you blog do it out of honesty. Whatever your views be, whatever your fantasies be don’t make your space worthless by focusing only on the dollars. When you drop a comment on someone’s space, give him/her a hint that you read it. Show the guts to point out the negatives. If possible avoid the ‘Lols’ and ‘Nice post’. There may be times when you have nothing else to comment but otherwise, believe me, it’s an insult.
