Where in the World Are You Reading From?

2–3 minutes

A Blog That Travels More Than I Do

They say your thoughts can travel far—turns out, so can your blog. Over the past few months, I’ve noticed something fascinating: people are reading my posts from all corners of the globe. Countries I’ve never visited, time zones I can’t keep track of, and cultures I’m endlessly curious about.

Every time I open my WordPress dashboard and glance at the stats, I see more blue patches lighting up on the world map. Blue is WordPress’s way of saying, “Hey, someone from here read your blog!” Slowly but surely, the map is filling up—and I can’t help but smile at this beautiful digital passport I’m collecting.


A Lighthearted Tour of My Global Neighborhood

Here’s a quick snapshot:

  • Many of you stop by from the U.S. (hello, neighbors!).
  • Another few wander in from India (namaste, friends!).
  • A few from Europe, Canada, Australia, Southeast Asia… and although I know most of those countries, some cities I have to google!

If blogs had passports, mine would need extra pages by now.

A quick tour of the web analytics la-la land!

From Page Views to People

What started as a personal writing outlet is now turning into a global conversation. And while the numbers are fun to watch, what really sticks with me is this: behind every blue patch on that map is a person. Someone curious, thoughtful, maybe even inspired. That’s the real magic.

So, I thought—why not acknowledge that in the most human way possible?


Sound Off: Where Are You Reading From?

Here’s a small, silly, and sincere request:

Let’s see how much more of the world we can color in together. Bonus points if you add a little hello in your native language or something quirky about where you’re from.

I’d love to meet you—digitally, at least.


Final Thoughts: A Blog Without Borders

It’s easy to forget that behind every screen is a story, a place, a person. This blog may be mine, but the journey? That’s ours.

So here’s to more stories, more connections, and more blue on the map.

Let the comments roll in—no visa required.😊

    2. Namaste and Hello, dear Neena! 🙏😊
      Your comment made me smile wider than the Mississippi! What a beautiful reminder with that classic song—Mile sur mera tumhara—indeed, it’s in the harmony of our voices, cultures, and stories that something greater takes shape.

      So glad we’ve crossed paths both in St. Louis and in spirit through this blog. Thank you for your continued encouragement—it means a lot. I’ll keep writing, and I hope you’ll keep reading. Sending you gratitude and good energy, always. 💛

    1. Viona! “asante sana” for your kind words.

      Hearing from you all the way from Kenya truly made my day. 🌍 It’s amazing how stories and reflections can travel across continents and still find resonance.

      Grateful for your presence here, and I hope the journey of words continues to connect us in meaningful ways.

  4. Hi Mandar, Piyush here from Mumbai, India. Don’t think much! I am your classmate from NMV. Thinking about your imagination and presentation of your thoughts. Concluded that only NMVian can do this easily, especially my classmates. You write so well. Keep doing. Lot of LOVE my friend.

    1. Hi, Piyush! What a surprise—and such a heartwarming one at that. 🙏🏽
      Your words brought a big smile and a flood of NMV memories. There’s something special about those formative years, isn’t there? They quietly shape us in ways that show up decades later—in our thoughts, our values, even in how we write. 😊

      Thank you for reading and for your generous words. Classmates like you remind me why I write in the first place. Let’s not wait another lifetime to reconnect. Much love back to you, my friend!
