I started writing these blogs around March 2024, I think. By July 2024, I had written over 300 of them. However, I can't post them immediately or directly, as there are likely many spelling errors, and each blog needs editing. I had left that task to my elder son, who is already very busy with his job, so it will take some time before I can post them all. In fact, we only finalized the perfect blogging site about a week ago, and since then, we've posted around 10 entries.


Meanwhile, I developed the habit of sending one blog daily to my siblings, their children, and one of my closest friends—someone I can rely on.


After posting Blog No. 121, I couldn't find the next number. It's not easy for me to search through the blogs, as you can probably imagine. So, I took the easy option and posted No. 123 instead. Since these blogs are random thoughts, not following any particular timeline (except for those written in multiple parts), it didn’t really matter. Who would ask for the missing number? But my meticulous friend did! He sent me an email asking about the missing No. 122.


I had intended to write No. 122 later to avoid any missing numbers, but his email hurried me into writing it right away.


Most of these blogs are 2- or 3-minute reads. I wanted to ensure that nobody's attention span or busy schedule would be threatened by a longer write-up.


So, here I am, writing the missing No. 122.


But before continuing, I had to make sure that No. 122 was truly missing. Had I numbered it incorrectly? Or simply forgotten to assign a number? Donning my Sherlock Holmes hat, I began the search. As difficult as it was, I pursued the mystery. I searched for any unnumbered blogs or any other entry that could logically follow No. 121. I store all these blogs in Google Docs, so I checked other folders in Google Drive and even in Pages, the default software on my Apple device. Nothing. Including my poems and my contributions on Facebook, I think I have around 600 files—but still, nothing materialized.


With hands on chin, furrowed brows, closed eyes, and an alert mind, I debated: Should I write No. 122 now? What if it materializes later? What would I do then? Finally, a moment of clarity arrived, and I realized—so what? If it shows up later, I can simply assign it a different number and post it.


And so, here is the result: the missing—or rather, as of now missing—No. 122.
