I’m back!
Two weeks touring two countries. This is the first time I’ve been away from the blog for so long and I can’t even remember when I was ‘offline’ for such an extended period. It was good, all good.
Tarun says, every blogger needs to do this every now and then. As he predicts, I’m brimming with ideas and inspiration right now so The Idea-smithy is going to see a rush of posts soon. For the time being, I’ve got too many thoughts knocking about in my head, a myriad of impressions and experiences and I’ve got to figure out a way to put them all down. I’m thinking they’re like a thousand splendid butterflies and fireflies zooming around and I’m running around with a net trying to catch them all down.
My Blog Stats show me that the readership hasn’t suffered in these two weeks, which is deeply flattering (and heartening) for any blogger. *Sigh* My bloggy-baby is growing up and can stand on its own without my help now! I just want to say thank you to all of you. It sounds cheesy but in this day and age of instant clicks and flash media, it is exhausting to keep up. I’m so glad you’ve stayed interested in my writing and ideas and let me have the break I needed.
There, now I’m bouncing back in full form so more posts and news to follow!

Hey your blog is amazing man. Apart from the good content you’ve got so many neat plugins running behind the show - I know because I’ve just started a new blog a month ago and its been a lot of hard work. You have live comment preview, fancy emoticons, similar posts and I bet a lot more. You have an eye for detail. I also like the idea of the tabbed links below the header. I’m gonna borrow a few ideas from here. Thanks.
