Blogging is no longer what it used to be--outpourings of an individual's thoughts and ideas. The blogging community is like a huge, gigantic meeting room--where the participants are invisible to each other but nonetheless responding to each other.

I won''t be blogging for a week. We will be traveling from Shrinagar to Leh and then go up to Nubra Valley via the highest motorable road in the world. We will also get an opportunity to see the Hemis Festival. Once I am back on the 14th, along with posts on learning and ID, I will share my experience of Ladakh.

However, the deviations have been topics that moved me deeply, and I did not want to write about them in a separate blog. They are as much a part of me as all things learning.

It's taking me a while to get back on track with regular blogging after an almost 4 months hiatus. An enterprise community manager will typically be aware of what’s taking place at an organizational level via the discussions, debates, blog posts, status updates, etc. And I don't like it at all. But I am slowly getting back on track.

Refer to Harold Jarche’ blog for a deeper understanding of PKM. Many smart employees who have invested time and effort in building their own learning networks are turning to their PLNs (Personal Learning Networks) for help at the point of need. However, not everyone comes with the skills of knowing how to learn and require support.
