Where is Khalaf?

No, this title is not a phrase in a typical Jordanian soap opera, but a very concerned observation about the 40 day silence of one of the best Jordanian bloggers, the one and only Khalaf.
The last post by Khalaf, author of the famous "What's up in Jordan?" blog was on January 12th where he discussed in his typical sracastic and well articulated post the phenomenon of abandoned infants in Jordan. This was not one of Khalaf's most controversial posts but it is alarming for me to see his absence without any notice.
Khalaf is an anonymous blogger so it is difficult to try to "look for him" by his fellow bloggers, but I really hope that his absence is due to "good reasons" rather than a notorious intimidation or a personal issues that made his blogging go down his priority list.
If Khalaf is reading now, I am hoping he/she (actually I think it is He) will try his best to respond through a comment or a post on his blog. Let us at least know you are Ok and we need to let you know that you are a pillar of the Jordanian blogging system and you must continue your great work.
All the best, dude!

Yeah I noticed this too and I hope he's fine. Hopefully it's just that he's busy with better things to do.

I sent him an email two weeks ago asking 'waynak?', no word back.

Thanks for bringing it up, Bitar.
