The most basic question of existence - WHY?

Why Blog...
Since the past few months, I have been experiencing a strange kind of feeling....some type of dissatisfaction, some form of emptiness. Then lately, after a recent trip to India and a camping trip with old buddies, I realized that there is a lack of intellectually stimulating activity in my everyday life. In a completely different context, I was pointed out to the blog of a friend. It reminded me of a certain time from my past when I used to have an amazing capability to translate small events into wonderful pieces of creative writing. Incidentally, I was at the same time trying to put together some write up for work (which I have not done in a long time now). Soon I realized that I had to put in a lot of effort to articulate the most simple ideas. All this led me to a conclusion that writing a blog should be the easiest way to rejuvenate those neural nets, and at the same time make a permanent record of some wandering thoughts that pop out of nowhere, anytime, all the time. Let us see how far this experiment takes me.
