My first post on this blog, Hey World, was on 4th September 2007. Today is 366th day since, and my stats at this moment shows 35524 hits. As any other amateur blogger i didn’t start this for hits, and as an indicative of that, first month of my blogging had only 118 hits. There are no real life friends of mine constantly following this blog even now. I didn’t advertise with my friends, i didn’t want an audience. I wanted a distraction, and blogging was one of those. I never imagined to blog for this long. Though i felt like stopping some time back, i didn’t.
I now read and follow a few blogs, listed in my blogroll, and i’d wanna mention them here. KJ Avinash, Meghana, Priya, Nikhil, Neha, RJ, Reema, Super Nova aka Neha, Sakhi, Bhavna, Radhesh, and Megha. This is in no particular order. There are few blogs which i wish to read or follow more often, but due to not-so-obvious reasons i don’t, rather i can’t. The list of blogs i’d like to read more often: Deepu, Manasa, Shefaly, Xylene, Vishesh, Amit, Dinesh, Swats, Tia, Sneha, Po, Su, Prarthana, and Priti. (i’d add more if i’ve missed any). I’ll try and follow these blogs more regularly from now on and will add them to my blogroll soon.
One year down, i have quite a few people following this blog, including Google, and this, at times, makes me conscious and reflects on my writing. Still, there is no fabrication. This has been a great beginning, and i hope to continue for a long time.
P.S.: Google Chrome will stalk you, beware.
lol congrats on the first year :P ya real life ppl never read your blog….:P
COngrats for completing one year in the blogosphere ..

Why, well done!
One of my blog friends is soon going to do a post on dormant blogs which suggests that many start out but just can not or do not keep up. (She also reminded me that I better start feeding my Obesity blog again… pun unintended but how apt, eh!)
Congratulations on the first year. My best wishes to you to write more and more.
