That’s one question that’s been haunting me for quite some time now. I started this blog around about a year back. I did so because I always liked writing and six months at IIM-Indore had made me aware about blogs. So I began this blog, partly from peer pressure and partly from my own interest towards writing. Amongst my first thoughts was to build this as a social awareness blog, giving strong opinions on important social/political issues. Unfortunately, that needed a lot of background work and the lazy ass I was, I never got to that. So the next best thing was to write about something I was experiencing – my life here. Hence, this blog today stands before you as indorelife - a ‘campus’ blog. That now takes us back to our main topic – where does this blog go now?
Even while on campus, with all the free time in the world and a broadband internet connection at my disposal throughout, I have managed just 25 posts in an entire year. Of course, numbers are not everything but they do indicate my laggard nature. The point is, when Iam going to shift to a busy work environment where am I going to find time for blogging? Will I at least have access to broadband in the small town that I may be posted to? All said and done, I guess if Iam really passionate about my writing, all the excuses can be handled. And I do feel that I just might manage to continue writing. Assuming I do that, the next question is – will it be under indorelife.blogspot or will it be a new blog?
‘indorelife’ has built some brand equity for itself over the last one year. With 3116 hits as of today and readership across seven countries, it is a truly global brand :). Jokes apart, I really don’t want to throw ‘indorelife’ out of the window just because the name is no longer relevant. I request my regular readers to voice your thoughts on the same. May be you can help me reach a decision.

Dont think too much.
I just wanted to try blogging once for the 'heck of it' and gave a weirdo name... mumbo jumbo... and it has stuck for almost 3 years now.
Dont think too mch... just keep writing. And btw, it's a long way downhill from now... fun-wise. Be forewarned. :-P

Hey.. As Govar has said correctly, whatever name u give, the blog has been always identified as blog of Vimal.. Continue writing in this however rare it came to be...
Undoubtedly, here only.
Looking forward to your Life and times of an acadcom member - Part 2 post here. This is one sequel that's generating more expectations than the original one... :P
Dei Vimal,
Long time no hear, the only way that people can keep in touch these days with each other's lives is through blogging. Trust me the only medium which can be used to get across messages to probably all your friends will be your blog.
Whatever you do, don't let indorelife come to an end. If anything, it should be kept updated more often now.
Cheers.......Jam
