Today is indeed my anniversary. Another year blogging here. So actually my bloggerversary.
I started this blog using the free WiFi in a tea shop in South Delhi called Passion Tea. My thinking was that the blog would be a great place to post pictures of my stay in India. I also expected to write a little about my search for my Indian roots.
Now seven years later this blog is my most enduring relationship - most of it with myself no less ;0)
I often tell folks that blogging is my therapy: A place to work out my ideas and to vent my frustrations but also to seek peace and truth through confrontation.

I said I would stop writing here when it did not feel right anymore. A few friends and colleagues over the years have said writing so openly and under my name is risky career business.
Nonsense. I don't write anything here I don't say in person whether in the classroom or wherever I find myself scraping dimes together to make a living.
I calls it like I sees it and when I am wrong I will be the first to admit it.
More folks read here than I have ever expected. Yeah I keep track of Google hits and trends most everyday, call me vane if you must.
To everyone who reads here - including the now (in)famous Guru - I say thank you kindly.
Here's to seven years and counting because it still feels right to write.
It's my bloggerversary yo.
Onward!
