Sometime back (19 days to be precise) a mean hard hearted horrible no-good bully passed a rather nasty comment "who cares what you write! No one reads your blog anyway!" Ouch. Make that "Ooh Aah Ouch."
I must say the writer in me was wounded. The comment cut deep. Its not that I think I am Shakespeare reincarnate (But who read shares him these days! I should have said 'Shobha De' instead) or that my work deserves a place in Harward hall of fame or that this blog ought to get a Booker or two. But, yes, I do feel that these insightful pearls of wisdom or delightful banter or sober thoughts (as the case maybe) do deserve a one time read. Eager readers ought to clamour for more posts and maybe wrestle each other to win the coveted position of being the first to post a comment.
Sadly as that MHHHNGB (for full form refer opening sentence) pointed out this wasn't the case.
Cut to 19 days and 3 hrs later.

Quite an impressive improvement don't u think.
So here is raising a toast to my new reader (s). Please leave comments or better still become a follower and you will see that immediately many good things will start happening to you. Try it.
And to that MHHHNGB I will just say: HA!!!

Touche' touchy! Flattered that you actually got the hours and the mins noted down - and i do happen to read everything from the PAl-ISR conflict to GQ if there is anything tickling enough.
Suspect that you also count for many of the clicks but what the hell - dont sell yourself short - just happen to be a succour for expressive people in the written format.
:) :))
BTW u are not the MHHHNGB :)
and going by the stats this M3HNHB seems to have spurred you on to some good luck (this after thought should count as a single post and not 2)
analysis valid all the same - do disregard the flattery part and store for later
