Especially Facebook. I'm there like a pilgrim encountering his unique kind of spiritual world.<br /><br />Writing is also an equally selfish affair for me. Nevertheless it'd be good to have more reader-engagement.Tomichan Matheikalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05037872309096060126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102451431033041663.post-24900168520787973152020-11-19T13:13:44.502+05:302020-11-19T13:13:44.502+05:30I am not a social media animal.

Hence I am on Twitter, FB and WhatsApp but maintain a token presence only. I understand what you are going through because as you have yourself asserted in a different post that today's India (and the Indians active on social media) lacks profundity. Those places and platforms can never be my cup of tea where superficiality enjoys the last laugh with chicanery roaming around sans any check. I write for my heart's content only (Svaantah Sukhaay) and that's why lesser readership (especially for my Hindi writings) doesn't dishearten me.जितेन्द्र माथुरhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15539997661147926371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102451431033041663.post-45980361693507021632020-11-18T16:06:49.454+05:302020-11-18T16:06:49.454+05:30Blogging in the traditional sense is losing its sh...Blogging in the traditional sense is losing its sheen. But I'm not switching over to popular alternatives just because writing is a passion for me. Nothing else can take its place. Even if readership declines I'll retain writing as long as I am able.Tomichan Matheikalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05037872309096060126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102451431033041663.post-5041637999770320182020-11-18T14:31:36.815+05:302020-11-18T14:31:36.815+05:30Well I personally think blog readership has declin...Well I personally think blog readership has declined in the pandemic year. I get fewer readers too. Doesn't stop me from ranting on my blog but yes, I try looking for other avenues. <br />I don't trust social media anymore. Minority, majority, pro gov, anti gov...I don't know which piece to trust and how much. Most people are only earning their peanuts through this propaganda. I also feel ultimately we will believe what we want to without questioning its authenticity. So what we believe in will never be propaganda for us. In that sense propaganda now is only to strengthen pre existing beliefs and ideas. <br />But I enjoy your blogs and I often think about what you write. As for blogging, I don't see much hope for it with SM campaigns and fb and insta pages taking the limelight.Sonia Dograhttps://soniadogra.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102451431033041663.post-90086479802010139092020-11-18T13:51:15.111+05:302020-11-18T13:51:15.111+05:30We can't choose the water anymore.
