A century and a half

A big apology to all my regular readers (i am sure i can count them with one hand). Those who have been following my latest short story ENFORCE have to give a slight break. One of you brought to my notice that i had touched a magic number (its magic for me at least) in the number of posts i have written so far. I had touched 150 posts without realizing it. YIPPEEE !!!

I went back to my archive to see where this started...March 14th 2008. I had always been a writer, dabbling in writing poems and short stories, entertaining a very select audience(namely ME). I started this blog after i joined Aspire systems, through my campus placement. As i have stated in my first posts, there was never a reason for me to start this blog.My first post is here to rekindle memory(mostly mine). 

I have come a long way..150 posts in 3 years...averages to about 50 posts per year...further spreads to about 4.something posts per month....further spreads to 1 post per week..further spreads to..lets leave it at that. I would like to thank all the people who have been behind me, egging me on to write more, shouting at me sometimes, criticizing my writing style etc etc over the years. If not for you, perhaps this world would have been free of such diatribes and ramblings like mine. So if at all in the future i am being sued i would like to ensure that these following people are added as co-accused. 

Topping the list would be Viji. She has been a very strong and vocal supporter of my writing, and has been always pushing me on to write more. I seriously think this was because of the fact that she was dropped on her head when she was a kid, and has been a victim of bad taste from then onwards.

After that its just a myriad of names of people who have been somehow actively(read as during office hours when they dont have anything better to do) reading my blog. The list would be 

Lizzy bennet

Kiran

Harsha

Kavitha

Krishna

Priya

Namitha

Raji

etc etc etc... I have left out a lot of people in this list here...but come on, you know that i am  just another lazy bum. My most vocal supporters include Hari, varun, anamika, ram, my sis priya, priya neelam,my dad ...so on and so forth.

Now comes the interesting part. I am planning a series of changes. Not only to my blog, but in my life also. Things are moving around and if all things work out as i have planned it, i would be spending much more time on my blog. I would also like to announce that i have been given a publishing offer from one leading book publisher for a collection of my short stories. Which once again leads me to believe that a lot of people were dropped on their heads when they were babies. ( this is going to be my upcoming post too ). 

At the end of the day i am just so happy that i have been able to vent my angst, share my laughter, provide a place where you can laugh(mostly at me), where you can think for a minute(60 seconds of your time to think about my post is more than enough success for me) through my blog. Keep reading and i hope that i keep seeing you people in the comments page. 

I have always enjoyed S.V Sekhar and his comedy and i would love to wind this sort-of note of thanks with an old, funny and favorite one. 

"Maama, Sachin nooru adichutu adikittu irukaaru" ( Sachin has hit 100 and still playing/dancing. The tamil word for playing and dancing is the same)

"Ithu enna periya vishayam..inga oruthan 500 adichitu aadama nikkuraru"( what's great about that. here one guy has hit 500 and still not dancing. 500 here refers to 500 ml of alcohol)

Naan ippo 150 adichitu aadrana illa aadama irukena nu theriala...thanks guys....
