Blogging : Personal or Business ?  

Posted by Navin

Blogging is a phenomenon for every man to air his views on anything under the sky. Something I have been considering : Will I ever be penalised for the contents in my blog ? Will my views on the situation in the institution I study catch the eye of an authority and land me into trouble ? Topping the list of my worries are the fact whether corporates care to check your blog to analyse the aptitude of their prospective employee .

I can never know whether employers will go to such extents of wasting available human resources.Though, that will be a good source of employment for the loads of unemployed in the nation. But, am I not allowed to express my views on anything without being put under heavy scrutiny ? Wasn't that freedom among the primary reasons for the success of blogs ? Aren't the corporates intruding on my privacy by doing so ? On the contrary, if I do have complaints against being scrutinised why should I make my views public in the first place ? As long as I crave for readership on the blog, I should be ready to put myself under the microscope.

This in its entirety becomes a simple situation first described by Joseph Heller in a book of the same name - Catch 22.
