Joining the 700 Club

I can’t believe this. I have actually written 700 posts on my blog. 700 is like big number. Atleast for someone like me who started with blogging just because Hardik was poking me to do so. He was the one who always forced me to scribble something on my blog. Thanks Hardik for introducing em to the concept of blogging.

In the course of time as I started writing on a regular basis, I got introduced to community events such as BlogCamps, Barcamps, Startup Saturday. And with the socialisation process, got introduced to many other bloggers. I know I’m not very regular in updating my blogroll, but believe you me I have always enjoyed and will continue to enjoy reading every on of you. Thanks for putting up so nice posts on your blogs, which often provoked my thought process and I got some contents to scribble through the thought process.

Way back in 2006, there were some issues related to a blog post on one of my other blogs. I had to delete the complete blog following the issue and political pressure building up. In the tough time, my friends and family stood behind me and supported me. Though I still feel bad for not fighting enough and having removed the blog, I am proud of my family and my friends who stood behind me in bad times of mine. I am grateful to my family and friends for the same.

I also got couple of friends to write guest post on my blog. Thanks Unitechy and Raxit for the guest posts. You provided me fantastic contents and my blog will always be thankful to you.

I can’t really boast of a huge reader base. I mean a base of 85,000 {I reseted the counter once it touched 50,000} in 4 years is not any big achievement to boast of. But I’m always lucky enough to get some geniune readers who bookmarked my blog, subscribed to RSS and kept coming back to my blog. They often commented on the posts, dropped me mails and SMSes of appreciation and criticism. Some of them called me to criticise what they did not like in my post or to appreciate what they enjoyed reading in my post. I am always thankful to all the people who have visited my blog in the tenure of last 4 years. Please keep supporting me and my blog in the same way.
