Given the explosion of interest in this blog (total readership now stands at 5), an explanation of our virtual absence is long overdue. Truth be told, we are experiencing a work stoppage. Vik has formed the Hindu Blog Editors Guild (Local 99) to collectively bargain and raise awareness of the deplorable working conditions (forced unpaid overtime, etc.) to which he is currently being subjected. Management and labor are currently at an impasse. We are now in the process of conducting lengthy negotiations, with Mssr. Jason Heeney serving as a somewhat-but-not-really impartial arbitrator. These meetings are being held in Bali. We hope to come to an amicable resolution in short order so that we can assume full operations. We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused the five of you (actually, make that four of you since Jason is here with us).

Well, I am glad to hear an explanation! You see, your entries keep getting better and better. "Slow Boat" really made me sad we didn't explore the Three Gorges and gave me such a strong taste of what we missed. I think I'm going to use one of your photos as the basis for a landscape quilt. And you did such a great job of capturing the camaraderie that forms in such unexpected circumstances. Hope all is resolved soon. (I firmly believe there are more than 5 readers, by the way.)
