Pesuvom- 'Controversial'

Hmm i tuned into the Pesuvom show abt 5 mins late.. So i couldnt catch all their names.. But in the so-called "Control-bloggin" camp, there were that
two Miss V girls, Yuvanes, and Barathi,
A boy named Surainthiran,
and two other girls whose names i couldnt catch.. i will name them
'Yellow-punjabi-suit' (YPS) ; and
'Tall girl' for convenient sake..

Then in the "dont control blog' camp, there were
Praba (a former stamford primary boy, who used to appear in ads for Home United..),
Aarthi (aka KelingKween, a former SMSS cum NYJC student now in NUS),
A girl called Samantha, (who looks so damn familiar but i dun know how),
Another girl called Revathi, (the pretty, but not as pretty as my girlfren one. =p),
And one girl who was slightly plump, but still pretty.. Now if i were to be nasty and exercise FOS, i would have called her FAT and the ONE with the stupid hairbraids.. But im not nasty, and yes i am CIVILISED.. So i shall just call her, Miss Controversy.. Why?? i'll explain..

While watching the show, i realised that everyone said sumthg stupid at some point of time.. Oops, im not supposed to say that.. Hmm Now how can i express myself better?? KLKillahss do take note.. I'll try again.. Every1 during the show said sumthg, "WHICH I COULDNT ACCEPT" because of my own views.. But the one comment that sent me to the roof, seething in disbelief was the one that Miss controversy said.. hmm now wad could she have said.. My memory fails me.. It does.. Honestly.. But this is somehow, how it goes..

Tall Girl: You can blog abt stuf like education,etc..
Ms Controversy: Oh those stuff are boring.. Our readers will only read us if we write controversial stuff..

My god.. Thats the biggest load of bull that i have heard the whole year long.. (And trust me i have heard loads of bull, why even i have spoken bull at times).. But someone should have just gone to Ms C, and tapped her kindly, and then shouted in her ear, "HELLOOOO... Come back to reality!!)

Now ppl, the art of bloggin is to create interest in ur writing.. You Make ppl wanna read.. But that is not the same as writing ONLY Controversial stuff.. You write the stuff, you make ppl read, you make them think.. Not, look for controversy, edit it further to make it even more stupid, ermm sorry ('controversial') and then sit back at ur home smiling to urself reminiscing abt ur supposed bloggin talent?? So ya tht statement irked me, and irked me to the max.. And just fyi, there are people who blog abt the education system, give out motivational quotes in their blogs and talk abt other 'so-called' non-controversial stuff, like even interacting with their parents, albeit with no vulgarities ah.. And no im not thick-skinend enough to be referring abt me.. You will very soon see links to blogs of people whom i think are the shining lighthouses for all bloggers.. Oh by the way, the issue of vulgarities is another story.. But ya, the point to be found in this overflowin maze of words, is that U dun need controversy to entice interest..

Integrity of one's writing should never be undermined or compromised by the need for sensationalism, or in other words, controversy..

I for one, believe that you dun necessarily need to entice people to write.. Like wad Praba said, a blog is supposed to be an online journal right?? A repository of ur thoughts and musings right?? So why do u need to ATTRACT ppl to ur blog.. Unless of course ur intentions of writing one is to seek publicity and not to educate the public.. This issue too will be covered in another post.. But
meanwhile, i would like to say this much.. Its ok to court controversy.. But if u go on air and say that you can only blog abt controversial stuff, or only controversial stuff creates interest, then ma lady im sorry for u.. And ur poor keyboard.. But btw, i haven read ur blog yet.. So Ms controversy, if u do read this post, pls post a comment in my tagboard stating the url to ur blog.. That way i will be able to create an even more informed opininon abt you.. ok peeps,
till we meet again in my next post, here i go saying my goodbye...


Haiya! Kelingkia!!
