Good Morning Blogsville !

It’s 09:23 in Mumbai, India on a Friday morning, and I’m sitting in bed, typing away.

I couldn’t sleep very much last night – surprising as I had a really long day, and have been avoiding a splitting migraine for the past 2 days.  Not to mention that I’m working on an event today as well.  Reporting in at 12:30 – so I’ve got time.  And I can already feel the beginnings of a migraine.

Ate something – but so far, it’s not helping.  Might just put some Tiger Oil or Roll-On which is made with Eucalyptus oil – my life savers when I can’t find a pain killer for the migraines.

I took a leisurely stroll through the neighbourhood yesterday, and found myself fascinated by some of what I came across.

A little while into my stroll, I bumped into a new face who looked like he was moving into the neighbourhood Mr J Patel, and it was over by Simply Ridiculous cafe that I overhead him discussing Why Evolution & Natural Selection Don’t Make Sense …

On the way back home, I literally Found Shit !!  A really cool site with some funky images with cheeky tag-lines !  Some can get the creative juices flowing.  I’m just going to point out a pic or two that caught my attention.

There’s quite a bit more that I came across but haven’t had the chance to be able to put it all across ! It’s already 11:36 a.m now – I’ve been surfing online trying to hunt back all the great spots I found last night – but was too sleepy to bookmark all.

I have to rush to work now – so will let you know how the awards go this evening !

I came across this blog title from Carol over at Balsam Ponds and Shibu and thought it would make for some great reading as well as gaining some blogger insights.

First off - I quite like the term 'Bloggerville' ... When I first read the posts - I thought I might want to label my title as 'Welcome to Blogsville' - but since Blogville already exists - decided to continue the trend of keeping the same title.

As Shibu puts it - what is Bloggerville ? As far as I go - is a large community (albeit cyber) where the many blogger residents come together - if not on a daily; at least a regular enough basis - and set their thoughts free !

It's home to those who find themselves laden with a never ending train of thoughts that need articulating in some way or form lest they be forgotten in the chaos of day-to-day living.


Think about it this way - if you went to work one day and blurted out every thought you had - people around you might just be dialing a crisis helpline ! There are people we encounter who are unable to process or fathom how one is able to consider a thought or opinion that is solely based on their on personal ideology and is not inspired by traditional books; facts or figures.

Carol and Shibu have got it quite pegged down ... In this vast cyber space - there will be blogs in Bloggerville that we as individuals will enjoy; agree with or disagree with; some that make us laugh; others that show you pain; and some that show you great insight into a topic that you might not know about.

The more you look into the insightful chapters of those in Bloggerville - the feeling that you are not alone out there in your thought process is reassuring - comforting - admit it - it's a huge sigh of relief - that there is someone else out there with a completely unknown and unrelated background - who 'gets' what you mean.

The Bloggerville Residents are non-judgemental - they accept you as the parcel that you are - and provide in their own little ways - that it is in fact OK to be saying, doing or thinking what you are. They also impart and share knowledge - thus giving our mind that much needed exercise when the monotony of 'every day living' becomes just a tad too predictable !!

So I take this opportunity to Thank You - the Residents of Bloggerville; my neighbours who follow my journey of Sparodic Reflections - for taking the time to stop by my Blog and spending a few minutes soaking in whatever I have to offer; and for taking me down your subconscious avenue of insights.
