Anonymity

We choose to be anonymous for different reasons. I chose to be anonymous on this blog for very personal reasons. 

The first reason, obviously, are my boys. There is a natural instinct for any parent to protect his/her children. Just because I made the choice to "communicate" with them in such a public format does not mean they are not entitled to their privacy!

The second reason is one of hope. There will always be bias in any writing as we are a product of our experiences! However, my hope is that any mother or for that matter, any parent is able to relate to the writing on this blog and feel connected in some way. I don't feel the need to attach a black or white or brown or yellow or green face to this blog.

Having said that, I have lifted all sorts of restrictions from commenting on this blog! Before now, comments had to be moderated/approved by me…although there haven’t been any comments to date! Starting now, readers are free to comment…even the “anonymous” readers. Anonymity gives most of us strength to say things we dare not say otherwise. Anonymity (sometimes) also brings out the monsters in us where we are not ashamed to be our worst! However, I hope the readers of this blog choose to leave constructive feedback and share a dialogue.

Thanks for reading and stay tuned for more.
