I have been toying with ideas for months on what kind of blog to start, and have yet to start one. Your comments made me realize that I don't have to do anything "special" to begin, just keep doing what I do all the time in emails, and now just expand that universe through a blog. I will let you know when it's up, which should now be sooner rather than later. Thanks for your encouragement which have enabled me to break down my own road-blocks. And yes, I've signed up to receive your blog-posts going forward. Anne Thanks for your recent posting about How to Write a Conversational Blog.

No one says we craftsmen have to be good, we just have to care about the process and be willing to put in the hours because we care.

In America, we, too, have lost so much of our treasured past, the small shops, the family mechanic, the family barber, the personal tailor, the small coffee shops. They are important in more ways than just nostalgia, they are important ties that bind together communities. Your writing brings these memories to life in such vivid detail. I mourn the loss of true craftsmen, masters of their trades. Very little is made by hand, these days. Even less personal care is put into the making. We reap what a factory sews.

Padmini,

I knew this would be a marvelous experience! In America, we, too, have lost so much of our treasured past, the small shops, the family mechanic, the family barber, the personal tailor, the small coffee shops. They are important in more ways than just nostalgia, they are important ties that bind together communities.

Your writing brings these memories to life in such vivid detail. I mourn the loss of true craftsmen, masters of their trades. Very little is made by hand, these days. Even less personal care is put into the making. We reap what a factory sews.

Blogging by its nature is self-expression and each blogger has different priorities. It seems the key is finding your own voice and your own path. My path, like yours, is all about the conversation and conversation requires two-way communication, meaningful communication. Otherwise, it would not be rewarding to me and I would simply not continue. I don't see the blog as necessarily a substitute for conversation, though. I feel it can be real conversation among people unable to sit together physically. I believe it requires the elements outlined in this post and the results are manifesting with this marvelous group gathering here. For example, I feel that bikehikebabe has paid my blog its highest compliment by feeling totally comfortable with coming here and leaving a message for Padmini. Via email, she has sent me some materials and ideas that will appear in places she doesn't yet suspect, places still existing only in the corners of my mind. We may not be able to solve the world's problems here, but encouraged people of good will sure seem to plant a lot of good seeds. Prof Natarajan, welcome!

If the proprietor is asleep, awaken him - gently - and he will gladly brew you a fresh cup. After partaking of your wonderful writing skills, I will need to get right over to 'Padmum's Pen' and check it out. And thanks for bringing your mate! I'll serve him shortly... By the way, before I go, upcoming are some upgrades to the infamous Whine Bar. It has a quite a boisterous gang of revelers and you are invited. Stay tuned!

It disappeared because I didn't have the right credentials. It was about my tailored garments I had made in Thailand. Funny story. Great clothes. Hi Padmini,
I tried to type a comment in your blog about tailors. It disappeared because I didn’t have the right credentials. It was about my tailored garments I had made in Thailand. Funny story. Great clothes.
