247)I have not exactly been twiddling my thumbs since August 2007

From the time I stopped blogging on August 22nd 2007 till now I have been spending my time setting up my Facebook account and profile. Along the way I have made some great new friends on Facebook and am also pleased and grateful to discover many members of my extended Keshavjee family scattered all over planet Earth, from other parts of Canada to the United States, Australia, Brazil, United Kingdom, Portugal, France, Kenya, Uganda, Mozambique and South Africa.

I have also continued blogging (but in a slightly different format) in the notes and posted links sections of my Facebook profile and have had the immense good fortune to have Ismaili Mail publish a few of my articles and comments on its much-visited website, http://ismailimail.wordpress.com/ :

Islam, eminently logical, placing the greatest emphasis on knowledge, purports to understand God's creation:Aga Khan 4(2006)
The God of the Quran is the One whose Ayats(Signs) are the Universe in which we live, move and have our being:Aga Khan 3(1952)
Our interpretation of Islam places enormous value on knowledge. Knowledge is the reflection of faith if it is used properly. Seek out that knowledge and use it properly:Aga Khan 4(2005)
All human beings, by their nature, desire to know(Aristotle, The Metaphysics, a few hundred years BC)
