I blog to keep a record of interesting things I've learnt and share it on the web, even if the only reader is my future self. After all, it's called a "web log" for a reason! The fact that the process of carefully considering and writing about a subject helps me gain a deeper understanding and strengthens my own grasp on the subject happens to be a bonus!

In fact, my web server logs show that out of the 170 or so pages on my website, only about 7% receive regular traffic from visitors. The remaining 93% have got only myself as the reader.

I've been web logging the last 25 years and I'll probably continue to do it for as long as I can. In fact, 25 years ago, it was just a website hosting a loose collection of pages. It took its current shape and form only around 2006 when blogging became fashionable!
