Ten Thousand and You

Confused on the title….
Well scroll down and  look at bottom-left corner….
Still not clear…..
Dude, my blog just completed 10,000 hits and you just added one more to it.

Thank you all who made this possible. It has been a  wonderful journey writing. I really don’t know if what I write is of any worth or it just contribute to millions and millions of tons of garbage already dumped over net. But one thing for sure, this is something that I love to do and it keeps me going.

It all started somewhere in October 2010, soon after me joining the office, where I saw people work hard and follow their passion harder. When people around you are so pumped up about their pasison, someone cycles, other runs and next to him clicks,  how can you  afford to sit back. And thus it started…..

…and after almost quarter to three years, 57 blogs, 28 followers(most being my friends only) and some 17 comments, I’m here.

There has been ups and downs, lefts and rights, forwards and backwards. At times, I didn’t have anything to say for days and months together, and sometimes I have posted in some 15-20 minutes of writing. Sometimes I have felt overflowed with ideas to pen down and other days have to write “Null Blog” just for the sake of posting. All these time I maintained my “own sets of rule” to write and always obliged to them. Thankfully there were only a countful of breaches of them. J

There have been many good memories of writing for this blog. Some of the best moment was when I saw my blog being copied and pasted in some other’s blog post. It was such a wonderful feeling. People find this interesting enough to copy it. One other good moments was when my sister pinged me that day saying, “Dada, you write good”. She has been my toughest critic and getting these words from her was indeed a achievement for me. It really feels good that my experiences are bringing some good to others. I still remember the mail from some Pradhan couple, who decided to go to Pawankhind after reading my blog, and they thanks me for that.

One other high was when I received an envelope from Google J
Though it was a normal address verification, but the word “Google” written in multicolour on the letterhead was reason enough to make it a prized possession.         

As time passes the rate of post might have gone down but I’m sure I’ll keep on writing and many and many years from now when I’ll have no office to goto, no more action item pending on me, sitting in my backyard, I’ll relive all these wonderful lifetime experiences and tell my grandchildren that you daadu have lived his life to fullest J


Thank you all, once again.
