An Honour Indeed??

It's been brought to my attention that the school , apparently due to a dearth of contributions to its annual publication. the school magazine("Bhavana"....hehehe...), has chosen to browse through student blogs, hoping for juicy material to consider as articles! This is among the many blogs that has come under the scanner, and though not all that was read would have pleased the teachers who scouted this domain out, it appears that 1 article has caught their eye.......the blog post titled "An Emotional Void........." has been chosen to feature in this year's school magazine! Regardless to say, I've got mixed feelings about this "honour"........though it is gratifying( and fuel for my expanding ego.....hehehe) to be noticed for something of this sort, it is at the same time a bit....ummm..... revealing(and perhaps a bit...umm...exploitative?? ) for such a personal post to be published in a school magazine! Were it an article on a public event, or a tragedy of the magnitude of the recent spate of violence in Kenya and Pakistan, it would not have raised any alarm bells......But for something as personal as that post, written in the most informal of language to be published, raises doubts in my mind. Needless to say, though I've given them the go-ahead, and not raised my concerns yet, I guess these doubts will be addressed only once copies of the school magazine pass into everyone's hands!
