Why blog? Is it from the need to express ones ideas, put unruly and haphazard thought into structured prose, or capture a concept before it’s lost to mundane thoughts like grocery and to-do lists? Does a blog spring from the desire for recognition for the ideas that we rarely find an apt audience for in our disconnected lives? In this age of instant gratification and saturated media coverage of “reality”, do we all want to have a say – be an expert on something, even if it is only our own lives? I venture that all these reasons are true, but inherently miss the most alluring aspect to blogging - its anonymity. To blog is to create a reverse voyeurism, where strangers can peep through the curtains of your inner most thoughts.
I think the more compelling question is not “why blog”, but rather who is behind the blog?

Well, Yogi, I know who is behind the blog, and she is quite an interesting character. I can't wait to see what she has to say about this crazy ride called life!
