Refrain from Blogspot

I have decided that now onwards I will not post any political views on blogspot.
I am already not in Facebook, Twitter or Linked in. Only network that I was in was blogspot.
I began by posting what movies I watched. The same thing was in 2006. Since I was watching many movies, I began noting in diary. Than I thought why note in diary when it can be online.
Basically it was method to know that on this day I had watched that movie.
As a log book, I had stopped maintaining diary since College days (1996-97). What happens you write your intimate details in a diary and same can be read by anyone who has access to your locker. Thus I discontinued the practice. But I was maintaining diary to keep track of expenses which I am doing even now.
In 2005, I had begun a blogspot account but only random posts over there.
It was only in 2006 that I began posting about the movies I watched. Also, at that time I was into Yahoo Messenger, Yahoo Chat and Yahoo Groups. Then I joined Wipro company and I simply went on and deleted my Blog as well as refrained from Yahoo Groups. That was a personal decision due to job commitments.
Then in Wipro we had Channel W which was PHPBB forum. At the same time, Orkut was also in the heavy use and I also joined. Subsequently, I deleted Orkut and Channel W PHPBB form was replaced with a new Channel W which was different and was not that nice compared to earlier. That was in 2011 when I began posting latest movie watched on Twitter. Than due to circumstances beyond my control, I had to leave Wipro. And after leaving Wipro I began becoming a heavy user of Facebook. That continued for about mid-2012 when I deleted Facebook due to impending SAP Certification exam.
I also deleted Twitter and Linkedin. In Twitter, I deleted my posts first before finally deleting my account.
Than May 2013, I began a new Chapter when I opened Blogspot account and began posting here.
Now what I find that NDA-BJP has won the election and so I will refrain from posting anything related to politics.
I will not delete my blog. I know it is as simple as pressing a button. I know when I joined Wipro in 2006, I deleted my blog and the result was the Lebanon War, a massive war in which billions of dollars and thousands of lives were destroyed. Now I am fearful that if I delete my blog something worse will happen and I will hold myself personally responsible for this. Also, my blog has a 'wealth of information', which I may not be able to reproduce again.
So what will I do? Simple, I have decided not to post about politics in my Blog as long as NDA is in power. Anyway, I could not prevent them from grabbing power in the Center. I was powerless to stop them. So anything I do or write or post or blog now has no meaning as I can hope to achieve precious little.
Basically I am going the way of the Ostrich which hides its head in the sand. Somewhat like this:

But I will continue posting about the 'latest and last movie watched'.
