Why Don't People Enter Comments

This is what every blogger like me must be thinking, revisiting his/her work of art every now and then. Being completely convinced by oneself that you have given in their best part in this post (this time at least), it is kind of disappointing to see the "0 comments" shown below your work.

But seriously, before you get depressed, think about how many sites you visit every time you are online? How many blogs you visit while online? And the most important question! How many times do you leave a comment for a blog you just read or a video you just watched?What does it take to get that thing, those thoughts from the readers mind through his keyboard, right onto the comments section?

Readers visit millions of web pages and if your content is clear and interesting such that it is able to grab the reader’s interest till the last word in it, you are sure to get a comment. Most readers lose interest in reading the stuff you have written simply because:

1. They didn’t get what they expected out of it.

2. They don’t connect to your thoughts

3. The content is interesting at the beginning but losses its purpose midway.

Also, to a great extent it depends upon the person. If he / she is indolent, couch potato, don’t keep hopes! He would just surf through the sites without dropping a word for you. Be brave to face this, most people are like that. If everyone could voice their thoughts, the world would be a different place to live in!!

Ideally, even if the reader doesn’t connect to your thoughts, he/she must leave you a comment stating their view, right? Since comments are not necessarily positive. You may receive, "Well-done, nice post!" someday or just a "Moron!!" as comment.But for this to happen your and blog and the reader must have a total 180 degree of thought separation. You enrage him so much by your post that come what may, that fellow will make a come back to you, definitely not in a cool way.

Despite of all the aforesaid and followed, there is still a chance that you don’t receive a comment :-). Well, the reasons could be inevitable. Your blog could have been superb, but just while he was about to type in his comment, girlfriend called, or the power failed. Poor you!So the moral is, "Don’t think about the things that are beyond your control!!

"Keep Blogging!!

(PS:I have recently started blogging and I think I am expecting too much. Its true. Rome was not built in a day!)

Mumbai Local trains

The local train network in Mumbai is rightly known as the 'Life-Line' of Mumbai.It is by no doubt an established fact that the trains are the best means of transport within any part of the suburbs.

Every day thousands of people use this travel option to reach their work place and back. During the peak hours the trains are packed to an extent that if you are not regular train traveller you will just stand at the station watching the "show" while others trying their life's best to get a foot's place inside the compartment.(I happen to be one! That is when I stepped back and could think of nothing but to click this pic.) Only some will succeed and only they will know how. For those brave few who managed to squeeze in, the fight doesnt end there. In scientific terms, the density of people inside the compartment is so much that at a time you are stickingly surrounded by atleast 6-8 people,if not more. Some stinky, some sweaty, but you dont have a choice. You struggle to move inside but you realize that it is not a one player's game but a team effort. So, you request people around you to twist their body parts wherever they are encountered and thus make a way. The train moves on. If you are not a frequent traveller you will never know which station is about to arrive. Your only help is fellows around. With the anouncement system facility provided in the newly built trains this problem is addressed but the major issue still remains is the space!

The important message here is that none of the government's act in the railways have helped solve this situation. There are indeed some rise in the number of trains, some new railways tracks here and there but unfortunately none of these have helped to give the daily traveller his best time onboard. Definitely, there is a planned move in initiaties like Metro rails to reduce the load on the existing local trains but even this venture, like others, is slow at speed. Today, it is next to impossible to travel with our grand parents or little ones in trains.
