No, I’m not a New Age guru. And this is not really a question about your existence and purpose. I’m simply curious why you are reading this…
Don’t get me wrong. I love the fact that you are here on this page reading my stuff. I’m delighted that this blog gives me the power to transcend space and time; to reach you in your living rooms and cubicles… into your mind at your own convenience! It’s a privilege and I’m grateful to you.
But again, why?
This blog has been a boon to me. Action at a distance – it’s every writer’s dream. I’ve connected to people across the world. I’ve made friends with people in unlikely places. And going through my list of visitors has improved my knowledge of geography in a manner no school-teacher could ever achieve!
New found friends have written back to tell me about their experiences. Some have been moved by particular writings… some have been inspired… quite a few have joined in the laughter… and one or two even cried!
But why?
Why and how do people find there way to my humble blog from distant corners of Planet Earth? How and why do they penetrate the web of the Web to reach an island called Zeitgeist's Zone?
If I can solve this conundrum, I’ll probably get an answer to the eternal puzzle of our existence too!
I do aspire to greatness, but haven’t yet made the cut.
I’m not really famous... but just a hazy speck in a teeming BlogWorld.
A late entrant who doesn’t even pretend to talk techie…
And yet. And yet.
So what am I missing here?
The answer to the question ‘Why?’, that’s what.
So tell me, dear friend...
Why are you here?

I can't resist a question. So your header rew me in. Prior to that I was just exploring mybloglog and jumping from one site to another as my fancy took me. Liked the title of the blog and clicked. Pure chance.
I here to connect with you...again and forever.
I might glibly say that I am here because I clicked on your icon at fuelmyblog, or I might more glibly say that I am not here at all--as writing is precisely that mode of communication which is possible only in and in fact demands the absence of its originator.
But in fact I think the real reason I am here is because I like the photos.
