A Bosnian friend of an Indian friend of mine could not sleep the other night. She somehow knew about Tololy’s Box through the Indian friend, who reads my blog whenever he gets the chance. She came here and read, and read, and read for two hours, and then fell asleep.

I had a chance to chat a little with this new Bosnian friend of mine and I could not wrap my mind around the greatness of the whole situation. I write here because I feel like it, and I write about anything that crosses my mind. Sometimes I make sense, sometimes I don’t. And even when I don’t write about things personal, I write in a personal way because this is the reason why I write. Even when I am serious, it is personal because it is my writing.

Talking to my Bosnian friend, I realized that whatever it is that I type here has potential to go everywhere. It travels and walks into the minds of the people who read it. It is dead unless you read it, in a way like a book. In another way, I do not write to become popular and I feel that this enables me to remain true to writing about anything I want. So even if nobody reads Tololy’s Box, I would still write about the same things. I might curse though.

During our brief chat, I also came to understand that Tololy’s Box can qualify as entertainment. This was a revelation to me because I have never thought of it as such, somehow “entertainment” just did not make the cut for me. But my Bosnian friend talked about her impressions of the box and seemed to have enjoyed reading it almost as much as I enjoy watching Craig Ferguson. Go figure!

So I am entertainment. I open up to strangers I have never met and will probably never meet. I welcome them into my Box and sometimes bore the hell out of them. Go through The Archives and you can easily trace my growth (or the opposite thereof), the changes in my language, and my various attitudes. This is Reality Blog and I am your hostess. Make yourself at home.
