I would want more people to take up blogging. Through their blogs share their thoughts and ideas. Share positive ideas which can potentially change the world. At the least, change the mindset of the people reading. Ideas to improve the community, clean up the environment, tips to save money or simple cooking hacks. Your blog can be your window to the world. If through my blog, I am able to inspire even a single person to take up writing,… A blog can change the world?
