Absence

Ayappan reminds me that I haven't blogged for a long while. Thanks Ayappan, its nice to be missed.
To be away was both a conscious and unconscious decision.

At first the computer crashed; then it was the Net and now its power fluctuations. To get connected and more, to stay connected is a source of stress. On lucky days like today, it happens.

I thought maybe it was a period when I should detox from blogging and email and be more connected with the world around. And I have been doing that.

And it also got me to wonder what value I am adding to the world by recording my thoughts. It adds a certain value to my days ; some structure, some happiness. It also seems to add an unnecessary drive to certain activities just so that I could record them.

But Im sure I will be back here soon. Does introspection make one wiser? Not necessarily .

Thank everyone who calls out your faults, your anger, your impatience, your egotism -do this consciously- voluntarily.
