My Blog Anniversary…

It’s a year since I started this blogging activity…
I posted my first blog on 7th Sept 2005!!!

I initially started it off as a time pass activity to kill boredom I felt in Jeddah…
But over the period of time I succeeded in keeping the spirit up…

Now when I look back to the first blog… that was about Ganapati… and then scroll through the posts I have put up till date… it’s a nice history of a year in my life… my thoughts…different moods…. frustrations…sorrows and joys…

It’s it surprising… life was so eventful for a year….
Incidentally next blog too will be about Ganapati…thus completing the whole cycle and starting my next year of blogging again with Ganesh…. The god of wisdom…

In past I tried to maintain a diary…writing events every day and all….
But those attempts never lasted more than a few days. Because I used to find that the same story was repeated most of the time and this took out the interest…

But now I find it’s really nice to maintain this open diary… because I don’t write every day but only when there are some noteworthy events…or when I feel like writing.

When I read my early posts, I feel amazed to visit those memories again…Certainly I don’t remember those events now with same detail…So it’s a journey back in time.

A month ago I put a counter on the blog page out of curiosity to see if anyone read those posts apart from me…

I was again surprised to see that more than 40 people (to be frank 40 different IP addresses…) has visited various pages in a month. I think some of them had accidentally stumbled upon my page…while others were directed by Search engines while searching for some Marathi words… How else can I explain people from Egypt and France visiting my blog!!!

I hope to continue this writing experiment for a fairly long period….

Thanks to Sachin…. It’s because of him that I seriously looked into this nice idea of starting a blog…

  1. Also remember that the blogs "Load" on the blogger page. The counter actually counts the number of page loads. It will be interesting to find how much time is being spend by IP and by Regions.
