Sometimes it is said that the world has become small and with technology you can contact anyone anytime. At least in theory that is true. Particularly within your family it is true if you use social networking apps like WhatsApp, Facebook, Hangouts, Viber, Skype, or BBM, etc you have a lot of possibilities to be in touch with your near and dear. While you may use different apps for different groups of contacts - perhaps WhatsApp for friends, BBM for office colleagues, Hangouts or Skype or Viber for family - there will be times when despite all your technology you fail to reach some people at the right time. Because all that depends on the device in your hands and the devices in the hands of your people. One bad signal from the mobile network coverage puts a person out of reach. Then there are battery issues of the gadgets, weak WiFi reach, etc.

When I first came to know about blogging in 2006, I wondered if it is anything of worth keeping and maintaining a blog. Who reads it? Why should they read it? Do I have anything to share with this world? Now I can say the answer to the questions above with enough confidence that "yes", it is worth having and updating a blog. At any moment in this world, there are many who want an advice from the experienced people and so every one of us will have something to share with millions of others in this world.
