Like the thousands who scour Sajha's cluttered homepage everyday in the hopes of finding the smallest morsel of interesting information, my mind took off  from the presentation due tomorrow and arrived in Sajha after brief  stops on Facebook and Gmail. I must say the login wall San has erected around Sajha has obscured the view of what lies beyond  without adding to its mystique. The thing is everyone knows what lies inside this site. We have known it for years. The Chinese Emperor ordered the Great Wall built to keep the Mongol hordes out. The East German Communist Party walled-off half of Berlin to keep its people in. I wonder who or what San is fortifying Sajha against? 

This place affectionately reminds me of a medieval market along the Mediterranean - like those you see on the ubiquitous murals that adorn the walls of  Trader Joe's. Replace the fish mongers, booze peddlers and spice sellers with wide-eyed career-seekers, testosterone-infused lust-seekers, deathly-bored minds and the occasional misanthrope of a troll. And like those absolutely delicious things you run into once at Trader Joe's that are never to be found in a few days , the same happens here with interesting people. Here one day -- and poof -- gone the next.

You alluded to clouded memories. Crowded too in my case. Sometimes the mind moves faster than the fingers. Sometimes the fingers faster than the mind. Both produce lots of typos and syntax errors as I am sure these paragraphs will prove the case to be.

And if there is room for one more character in the story you are yet to weave into words, I'd like to be the wanderer who wondered why he was wandering ;)

Keep writing!
