A post a day keeps the block away…

…but if the block lasts too long, better throw the blog block away! πŸ˜€

I have forgotten to write; people think I’ve died; and Google and Technocrati doesn’t throw up show my ‘alphabets’ any longer.

Disgusting state of affairs. Really.

All these days, I convinced myself that I’m overworked and can’t really spare anytime for blogging. I was just fooling myself, I guess. I realise that every blogger who’s consistent and active, is not sitting at home full time πŸ˜‰

But well. Never having even washed a plate at home, managing a whole house by myself (even with a hell lotta help from Suraj) is definitely stressing me out. I kept telling myself that it’s a phase in life, which’ll pass.

backpainWhat almost passed away was ME! πŸ˜€ I have been sick in bed for 2 weeks now — with a broken back! Thank God, my job profile allows me to work from home — else, we’d have ended up financially broke as well.Anyway, in this 2-week running is when I realised that even though I’d been sitting at home, I haven’t been blogging. Disgusting, really!

So well, bad back or block, I decided that blogging shouldn’t be affected. Am sure all the bloggers who used to read me have forgotten my existence by now.

Hope to hang in here for more than a week at a stretch. Then I’m sure I’ll come back to blogging full-time!

In the meantime, I hope to be alive in this crazy city (for me to be blogging everyday!). I pray that random people don’t burst into my house and stab me to death (if they try looting me, they’ll probably stab me 10 more times; Attention, thieves: there’s no money/gold here!); I pray that we don’t get waylaid on empty roads and robbed of our bike (which is almost falling apart now); I pray that Hindu activists who protest against everything ‘non-hindu’ don’t protest against my existence; I pray that those find-whatever-excuse-you-can-to-beat-up-people types don’t catch me in a jeans and beat me up; I pray that I’ll be fortunate to leave Bangalore soon, while life and sanity are still there in me πŸ˜‰

The only good that’s come out of the-latest-violence-in-Bangalore is that I don’t lose my arguments anymore. Every argument that I usually have with Suraj always ends up in some consensus or the other. The only one that never does — which is better: Bangalore or Bombay? He’s always for the former; me, the latter. And the last point always was “Bombay’s too dangerous.” Now that topic is dormant. Period.

P.S.: My blog crossed 10,000 hits! I’m surprised, happy, ecstatic! Thanks a lot, all you people, for making that happen! Since I hadn’t been active, I’m sure a lot of optimistic people kept visiting, hoping I’d write something πŸ˜€ . Sorry for having let you down; hope never to do that again πŸ˜‰

P.S. of P.S.: Thanks a ton, Harsh and Sahaja, for considering me worthy of the “Cute’s Blogger Award” and “Lovely Blogger Award”. It meant a lot! Thanks again!

all this way from 13 June to 13 August…

Today, my blog turned 2…er er…2 months πŸ˜€ πŸ˜€

I shifted from Blogger (where i was very inactive) to WP on 13 June! Friends said “13 June, Priya…13…bad day for a good beginning…” and all that. But today, on 13 August (at 14:30 pm), my blog stats say “Alphabet lovers contributed to…1,789 hits since 13 June 2008!” πŸ˜€ πŸ˜€ πŸ˜€ …atleast 8 times of what I achieved in 1.5 yrs at Blogger πŸ˜€ πŸ˜€ πŸ˜€ So, yey to me! πŸ˜€

Thanks to allllllll you gals and guys who visited, commented and encouraged me, I am today a much more confident blogger than I was on 12 June 08 πŸ™‚ πŸ˜€

On this day, I specially thank:

Manu, for always encouraging me to write; Nikhil, for introducing me to WP (and for stupid posts that sent a lot of ppl to my blog as well!! πŸ˜€ πŸ˜€ ); RJ, for posting the first ever comment on Alphabetworld…and for a lot of nonsense after that πŸ˜€ (oh yes, the laptop funda too! πŸ˜€ ); Reema, for awarding me “Ms Most Coveted Blogger” (which I still don’t know for what! πŸ˜€ ); Ken, for pestering me everyday, asking me to post something (she even threatens to kill!)…

and….

all my other readers/visitors/other bloggers for giving me excellent posts to read and enjoy…for reading and (still) putting up with my nonsensical alphabets…for giving me advices…for the fun, joy and thrill I always have when my inbox says “New comment…” ;)…and most important, for teaching my stat counter that there are numbers higher than just 87 πŸ˜€ :D. I cannot thank you all enough!

Thanks a lot, everyone! πŸ™‚

P.S.: Too many smileys, I know. But well, am always happy in WordPress. Sorry, folks πŸ˜€ …aaah here I go again! πŸ˜€ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚
