101-ish words

    In an attempt to both write more, and to give credence to the philosophical musings and mini-monologues running in my head around subjects from the mundane to the extraordinary (mainly mundane) -- I draw inspiration from a friend's blogposts that begin with a "100 words" piece - and begin my similar practice. A hundred and one though, because, you know ... shubh/auspicious. 

    I actually have no idea how much or how little one hundred words is. I suspect that my posts will far exceed the said amount. Therefore I include '-ish' as a suffix. 

[Addendum: this was first published on my original free blog, and it included the following (now obsolete) paragraph.]

As I type this, I haven't used the word count tool yet (assuming this archaic interface even has such advanced word processing features. That's right, I said "word processing"). The other day I uploaded a bunch of music/video files in a G-drive folder shared with my team, and included a document in the folder called "README." Does anyone remember these?? I realized only after posting it that the Gen Z's would be thoroughly confused as to my choice of document name, and prolly not even "read me." 

    I went way over 100. 

    And turns out it doesn’t have a word count feature.
