Milestones on Fire

Among all the brouhaha in the world, something insignificant happened along the way in the past few days. I completed a month of blogging and crossed the thousand hits mark. OK, before everyone piles on the expletives, I will admit that it wasn’t worth even the “i” of an insignificant event. I did mean to write about this couple of days back but the fear of being overshadowed (in awe is a better word) by the six-month anniversary of veteran blogger, Gorgeous made me rethink my timing. I am, a newbie, but mind you, not a novice. I have been sporadically maintaining an offline journal of my brief life especially during turbulent changes in my life. But I have always lost the motivation to continue doing so after few months of introspection. Maybe, as Joey says it best, I don’t have much thoughts of my own to ponder in solitude.

I was late to join the blogging bandwagon, although I have been dabbling with the Internet since its stone-age days i.e.mid 90s. Somehow the thought of thinking aloud and baring your soul did not suit my introvert nature. But blogging is so much different. Not only can I chose which part of my soul to bare, but also find out along the way that the part of soul I bare (now now..don’t get any ideas) almost finds commensurability in fellow bloggers around the world (Ok Ok…mostly US and India but I have had some Swedes and Chileans visit me too). The comments board and the Zonkie have been integral parts of my blogging world, helping me expand my thoughts and re-clarify my opinions over and over again. But I love a constructive argument so I am not complaining. No offense, but no matter how crazy my thoughts are, I always seem to find some suckers who wade through all my crap and make it seem sensible. But I love those suckers…they remind me of me. I wouldn’t remember me in a hurry but some people think otherwise and not only remember me but actually want to emulate me. Me thinks thats quite an achievement. I have made tons of blogger friends who help me enrich my thought process by commenting on my musings and continuing the discussion in their own inimitable style, on their blogs. I am amazed at the literary and imaginative nerve endings that people possess. Their command over language in making mundane things of daily life seem so divine makes my head spin and of course…want me to emulate them.

Rediff was the object of my rage when their comments died (for a while) inspiring me to majorly overhaul my blog but I guess they still are pissed at me. I so badly wanted to be on their blogs homepage but now it doesn’t matter. My Nedstat counter and Comments to posts of past couple of days spiked heavily due to some unexplained reason. So place on the front-page or not, I am still happy. I can almost see the “Wrap-it-up” sign flashing madly and I can’t believe I could be so egotistic that I can blog about my blog for so long. Gives you an idea of my freaky nerve endings….over and out (till tommorrow, at least).
