When people ask me why I write I start to vibrate because I know that they've just poured water on my towel. And when there's water on your towel you know you just have to wave it in the air. Everybody knows that. The question triggers something much larger than a simple answer.

For me the meaning of life is to be seen, heard, making oneself needed, essential, and missed. Touching people. So that they when they are somewhere ask themselves: Where's Navid? Or: Navid would have liked this. Finding your place. Having a purpose. Translating that thought into something digital could very well result in your own Wikipedia page.

Wikipedia is a user generated online encyclopedia. A sort of digital registry over things, phenomena, people, words and other things existing around us. The address is www.wikipedia.org.

The trouble with Wikipedia is that you have to be relevant to have your own entry. You need to be able to link to another entry. So it's about relevance. That in itself can be the ego boost you need on a rainy day. To sit down and make a list of what entries could be considered relevant (some more farfetched than others) to you. Then write your own Wikipedia entry with information about yourself with name, birthplace, trivia, work experiences and personal quotes. Link your entry to your aunt the inventor or the grandfather who performed in the Eurovision Song Contest. Add to your own reputation or tailor the myth of you. Or just make things up. Think up masterful lies that can't be disproven. Relevance is relative. The window is open.
