Pulsing My readers

My very artistic boyfriend took this photograph of the sunset reflecting in the window of a yacht in Sag Harbor - gorgeous!

To all those out there who read this blog I have a question to ask you... do you wish me to continue the blog??? When I created this blog at the beginning of my journey to India I did so with the intent of keeping everyone at home updated with the convenience of them checking in when they liked. It allowed me to share my experience with my friends and family without having to mass email them or the sort. So now that I'm home, back in the USA, about to head out to Purdue, my question is this: Is there still an interest or reason for continuing with the blog? I'm sort of on the fence about continuing. There is a lot to be said for being so open in sharing with your life especially with friends and family. But there is also something to be said for being so open with anyone interested in random blog reading. It's hard to say if I'm still interested, posting about West Lafayette life is much less exciting than posting about my adventures in India.

A brief aside about India...
I miss India a lot. I really miss my friends back at IIT who are all starting their term already. I miss the laughter in the hostel and the many attempts to make it back in time for pani puri tiffin. I miss being in a place where there is something new at ever turn. This seems ironical as I was longing for familiarity when I was there. I'm not sure when I'll make it back to India, but I know that someday I'll have to. Be it to check in on some crazy IIT friends and maybe attend a Hindu wedding or so, or perhaps on another wayward journey through such a culturally rich place. I'm confident I'll return, when I do I can only hope that my friends are still there to welcome me into their world as unquestioningly as they did the first day I arrived. I feel more blessed now looking back on the experience than I ever did while I was living it. So to all my friends back in India thank you for your hospitality, your friendship and your experiences, you made my trip fantastic.

Back to the entry at hand, please leave a comment if you think I should continue blogging. Perhaps knowing people will read it will inspire me to keep posting.

Well, I check your blog pretty much every day. Sometimes even twice in one day even though I know you don't post that often. It's kind of become habit. So yes, I do enjoy reading it, but I also understand the reasons for not continuing it. So I suppose what I'm saying is that if you continue to post you will have at least one avid reader; however, if you choose to stop then I understand. So really, I think it's completely up to you. Love ya and miss you!

I think you should continue writing so that your few friends in India will not think that you are dead. :)

I think you should keep it going. Especially seeing as how you seem to have jumped off the Facebook train, there are still people back in Colorado that like to find out about your adventures from time to time. I know I do. But, yeah, my general impression of blogging is that you've got to be doing it because you want it. If you're doing it for others, it risks becoming a chore.
