Blog the Anniversary !

August 25, 2004 :

I received a mail from Nirupesh, who wrote that he has started blogging and gave the link to his blog, named "the root". I had a meek idea about blogging, but was completely new to it. After some time I received another mail from Harish, who followed through and created his own blog, named " the lone wolf". Now this instilled some curiosity in me, and when I get curious.. hmm !!

I went through their blogs or so called web logs or web journals, and it was quite interesting and a neat way to use your writing skills and more importantly share your thoughts and opinions and let others know about you. All who knew me well, used to say that I do have good writing skills, but I as usual walked over it. I used to write a little poetry and a diary but never maintained them. I thought to myself "well, why dont I too start a blog and write on the web instead", and then was born a blog.

August 25, 2005 :

A blog that is loved by few, criticised by few and ignored by few (They find it boring!) A blog that changed its look and appearance every now and then, from a white background of a harbor to black one with a quill. From the normal standard blogger template to the now modernised fixed lakeside background. Though Ive seen far superior blogs in terms of look and far better writings and content too, I would still like to say my blog has earned what it had to.

If I look back on my blogging days, I can say, in this one year, Ive learnt a lot through blogging, my thinking has become stronger and better, it has helped me understand things clearer, as almost all of these posts are inspired and talk about anything that I have seen and observed, stuff that has happened to me, to my friends, to my closed ones. Every post has a story behind it which is in no way fictional. I thank all the people involved who encouraged, criticised and most importantly read my blog and commented on it.

To cut the long story short, I wish my blog a happy anniversary.
