#2 Commenting: Commenting Experience



Commenting on other blogs.

This task was one of the tasks of the Student Blogging Challenge, week 2 by Edublogs.

So, I visited a few blogs of the other participants of the challenge and dropped them some comments, following the commenting guidelines as one should.

And I realised, in case one, I ended up writing a comment in order to inform the blogger that I shared a similar interest and also telling her about a resource I’d recently found which caters to that kind of interest.

I tried to keep it relevant and ended with a question I had on my mind relating to it.

Comment, Case 1:

Hey Enija!
This is Mahikaa from India.
I really love Rome too. Its culture, history and architecture fascinate me. I have little knowledge about its mythology but I hope to know more.
In case you're looking for something engaging concerning Rome, I recently found a free course on Future Learn about it. I signed up for it to finally learn more about it.
I hope it helps you too!
Also, what do you like about Rome?
Let me know.
Stay safe! Peace!

In case two, I commented because the blog post was about Greek ancestry and it intrigued me. I also mentioned why it was so and tried not to get too carried away with my thoughts.

Hey Garbrielle!
You have Greek ancestry? That is so cool! I have always been interested in learning about the Greek culture and history and, being a person among your blog audience, the fact is awesome!
I too have an interesting ancestry. I live in India and my grandparents had been residents of India at the time when the country of Pakistan was still a part of it. Till date, they have a lot of incidents to share about their experience, the horrors of the partition, the aftermath, etc.
Once again, it's great to know!
Peace!

In case three, I commented on the blog post because I found it resourceful and wished to thank the writer for it. I also mentioned how it would turn out beneficial for me.

Hey! This is Mahikaa, a participant of the student blogging challenge. This is an amazing compilation Gabrielle! I started learning German last year around this time and have finished the A1 and a quarter of A2 levels at present but amid the corona virus crisis, my classes are shut. I’m sure this post is my next go-to resource all this time we’re at home!
Once again, it’s great!


As it might be evident, all the three comments that I have included in this post were written because after reading the respective blog posts, I felt a need to communicate with the writer of the blog post for various reasons. Be it expressing gratitude, a reminder of how helpful the post was, or a shared interest, it resulted in communication.

This communication is a very important element of blogging. And as long as we’re doing it right, we’re good! *Insert thumbs up emoji*

On The Concept Of Random Capitalization (and standing out)

                                                                                      It’s unique. From what I know, it was introduced in John Green’s book, Paper towns in which the main protagonist, Margo Roth Spigelman believes in the concept of random capitalization. According to that, iT Is oKAy foR a sentTEnce tO Go LiKE this. Pretty cool right? It makes her stand out in the book because of her uncommon beliefs but how she justifies it seems just right. She thinks that the rules of capitalization are too unfair to the words in middle. Which is justified. Also, kind of extraordinary. Although, I must say, Microsoft Word wasn’t happy with my random capitalization, its red lines under the text. I believe that it is unique and actually good because w...

On The Annual Whirr Of Excitement

The annual whirr of excitement, as I just quoted it. In simple words, the excitement/fear/anxious feelings among all of us on entering our first board year, grade 10. There’s this whirr of excitement. It’s there every year, it’s there this time too. Although, I must say people are kind of reluctant and nobody was actually excited because as each year passed, the difficulty level, knowingly or unknowingly, shot up. But we were also keen on freeing ourselves from grade 9 so, I guess ultimately, it was inevitable. *Shrugs her shoulders* Every year we’re excited about new books, friends, hopefully more likeable and lenient teachers than last time, which makes up for most part of our worries before we begin our one year journey and we also hope that this one turns out to be better than the last one. Is this whirr going to last? Well, its annual actually, it comes, stays for some time and leaves. It lasts mostly for two to three weeks until the newness of everything sinks amongst...

Thoughts On An Airplane

Its night time and I’m on an airplane and when I look down, all I can see are specks of illumination, a sign of life. If I were to exaggerate and speak, there is no square metre of land that is accessible to us and not owned by us.  By us, I mean humans. Individually we may or may not own a lot of land. But if you see it amongst us humans, we have huge portions of it. Like, huge. So large they can house millions, hold cities, metropolises. From above, the land looked so vast. And the vastness did not fail to fascinate me. It was as if an enchanting spell. So much that I'm yet to comprehend. I have to admit you get a better view from a height. Okay following this statement, it might go a little on the crazy side. By crazy I mean my hopelessly imaginative side. Flying over cities, like I said, I see specks of light. They look like stars in the night sky. Sure they don't twinkle. But there's spots of light in the dark. Just like we see in the sky. Apologies, bu...
