What does this "........." mean actually in my blog entries?

Dear all,


I have been blogging in this blog and you may have wondered in all my entries I tend to use this punctuation which looks like this:


".............." in between sentences.
I tend to use this a lot and a great deal and you may be wondering what I mean actually....Sorry for not clarifying this in the beginning.

Well, sometimes, frankly and honestly, I myself also do not know what I wanted it to mean, probably it is my style of blogging and while reading this book recently (I just started on the introduction page) on the autobiography of St Teresa of Calcutta,


I discovered that she too has this similar habit but the difference is that St Teresa uses a dash [Here is a sample page from her book]

while I use a series of dots like this......but I think this paragraph sort of summarises what I mean in the meaning of "......." in my blog entires similar to that of St Teresa.

So, "......" could mean anything from a colon, semi-colon, exclamation or question mark, anything actually......and I would like end this entry by leaving you with this page from the book which I particularly like :

Have a nice day!
