The Article
"Burning the midnight oil, skipping meals, stressed out 24/7 - we aren't talking about students or BPO workers; we are talking of bloggers. Neck deep in competition to write the best post, get maximum clicks or make the most money, their lives are nothing but grist for their next post. They surf incessantly, are hooked on news updates, and are constantly thinking of opinions they can give. Taking a break is not an option.
In the US, two popular tech bloggers, Russell Shaw and Marc Orchant, died suddenly of heart attacks. Another prolific blogger, Om Malik, 41, also had a heart attack, but survived. Delhi guy Pratyush Ranjan has been blogging for three years. "It's stressful. I need higher levels of concentration. I've to socialise to make my blogs popu-lar, which further saps my energy " Zola Marquis's blog Elitechoice.org started as a passion. But now it is a job in which she invests up to 16 hours a day. "Whether I'm partying or watching a movie, I'm disturbed by the fact that I'm not blogging." Dr Ekta Soni, chief clinical psychologist, Apollo Hospital, feels that blogging is an addiction. "People blog for the sake of attention, and this can become an obsession."
