Message In A Bottle


Somebody asked me today “why a blog?” I countered “why not”. He said “what if no one reads it”. I replied “so what, think of my musing as a message in a bottle, I almost have no expectations that anyone would ever find it, probably it will be lost in the sea. It may also smash against a rock or maybe it would land somewhere on a castaway island never to be found. But if I won’t float the bottle, it will never reach its destination”. He got irritated and walked away.

I assured my self that at times people do find it; it can not be a total waste of time. People do find tales of joy or maybe tragic moments, sometime maybe a nudge to move on or perhaps someone’s life narration. They may learn to avoid the same mistakes the other person made or discover about things they can relate to. On the other hand if nothing is done then sum of zero is …….


Finally I moved away from the front of the mirror and walked away too……
